Default the idea

Haters are welcome!

After thinking about it, it is probably best just to present the idea, so that I can possibly get feedback here regarding feasibility (also to check if it might have already been done, as I am new here!)...

I am a T206 collector, and find that the portraits are really chock full of cool close ups, funny facial expressions, fantastic backgrounds, some great hair-do's (and dont's), etc. that we have all come to love.

I have been thinking of ways that I might contribute to the fun on this forum... One idea I have had would be to organize a bracket "March Madness" style tournament on the forum, wherein the various T206 subjects with a portrait pose will battle it out mano-a-mano (roughly one battle per day), based on Net54baseball members voting for their favorite portrait. The last subject standing will be given the highly prestigous title of "Mr. T206"!

My hope is that this would be fun and long-lasting thread (will take months), filled with controversy, upsets (commoner takes out a HOFer!), etc.

What do you guys think? I will be happy to arrange the bracket (probably e.g. just seed alphabetically) and post the matchups along with images, but I cannot figure out how to handle the polling effectively (It would be nice to keep the competition within a single thread!)

Has this been done before? Any ideas about how to handle the polling? Feedback is most welcome...

Cheers, David
