DC Movie Contest?

[dilbertschalter]

As a remedy for boredom I've thought of another silly DC related topic. A contest with the movies facing off against each other, bracket style, (the idea of course comes from the still running OP and ED contests). The seeding would be done either by number or by gross (first is probably better) and seeds 1-3 would have a first round bye to make 13 work. Movie 14 wouldn't be included because of the no spoilers for it rule, not to mention that most people here haven't watched it. So dos this sound reasonable or dumb? I think it would be fun but the board is pretty cluttered as it and not everyone finds contests as... exciting... as I do.

sounds like a good idea with the contest but you confused me.

Go for it!  If you're doing it bracket style, be sure to figure out what you want to do in case of a tie.  You wouldn't want a tie to mess up your whole contest structure.  And you could still do it by number, but have the top three grossing films get first round byes.

Cool. I like the idea. And, like what c-square said, you should think of a plan in case of a tie happens.

I think I'll have it set up so that the seeding is based on # and the tie breaker is box office gross. If we can't decide, then the moviegoers of Japan will have the final say.
