Mediocre Tournament Challenge
4@joshaw @capguncowboy I apologize for the so-so effort on my part to get this set up earlier today.
Here is the bracket challenge for our forum. Sign up before the tournament begins tomorrow at 12:15pm EST. The winner of this bracket challenge is the one who ends up in the middle of the pack at the end of the tournament. Best of luck to those who see this in time and let the madness begin!

OK, I filled out a bracket, but unless there are a number of miracle games I doubt that I will rise anywhere near to mediocrity. My choices consist of local favorites, states I've lived in, and underdogs.
Can you tell that I don't follow sports very closely? But even so, I appreciate the chance to play along!
There needs to be an odd number of people otherwise there will be 2 people in the middle.
@denboy, that'd just make the winners extra mediocre!
good point @joshaw, now I'm rooting for no clear winner
I'm in, I've never watched a single basketball game of any kind, but I'm in.
Ahh, gotta love watching a 14 seed beat a 3 seed.
Heck yeah. As a UNC fan love seeing that 3 seed be the Dukies.
So far, that's the only one I got wrong... Stupid Duke
Ok, so I won the mediocre bracket by being perfectly mediocre. Not sure how to feel about it really. I guess I won but it's hard to have pride about being so mediocre (especially because I actually tried to do well as a strategy). I didn't win anything so it's all left to the pride of winning which seemingly doesn't exist. Overall a super mediocre experience. Who's idea was this anyway?
@denboy Oops, I think it was my idea. You deserve a mediocre award, maybe we should all pitch in and buy you a Starbucks gift card.
winning a mediocre award would probably be too legit. after my rant I'm actually feeling better about winning nothing
@joshaw, I guess I misunderstood the rules. I thought that you had to end up with the most middling score of the Mediocre contestants to win the tournament. In which case, MiddleMan (perfect name!) would be the truly middling mediocre winner.
Yup! Says right there in the original post: "The winner of this bracket challenge is the one who ends up in the middle of the pack at the end of the tournament."
You're correct, I'm MiddleMan and darn un-proud of it
Ah, well that clears up my confusion. Congrats on your mediocrity!
@joshaw, I present to @denboy this entirely mediocre trophy:
Congrats to @denboy for taking down the Mediocre Madness!
Ha, great job. I wasn't able to create a bracket through here in time. However, I feel like my inept ability to make a bracket in time might make me more mediocre than you :)
your claim for being more mediocre has merit but that shiny trophy is mine all mine
It's so shiny @joshaw, feelings pouring out like...
You'll have to thank @jont for the trophy. You should get a special basketball badge by your name so we can all remember your mediocrity.
