On Friday, after the 64 blogs have been finalized, I will rank them from 1 - 64 based on Alexa (easiest way for me to do it). I will then take every 4 and randomly put them into a region of the bracket.

I wanted to decide what would be a good prize for the winner, and the best that I could come up with is a link or banner on my site. A gift card or money would be nice, but I am cheap. I could give away books, but I am sure all the books I have everyone has already read. The winner will be allowed to design (or I can design) a banner that will be placed on top of my center widget. I will keep it up there for 1 or more months, depending on how popular this is.

Here are the rules:

  1. Each blog will submit their best post from the last year. If no post is submitted, then I will go and choose one from the last couple of weeks.
  2. Twice a week, One blog will go against another blog, and the winner will advance.
  3. Each match will be it’s own blog post, and readers can leave a comment on the post for the PF Blog they want to win. Readers will be voting on both the post and the blog itself.
  4. The PF Blog with the most votes will advance to the next round. Some interaction will be made by myself, but it will be limited. I will only allow one vote per match per IP Address. Sorry if you and your buddies at work all want to vote, but I have to stop abuse somehow.
  5. This Friday - 3/2/2007 - The 64 PF Blogs will be finalized. Matches will start the next Thursday - 3/8/2007. The 64 PF Blogs will need to send me their submitted post by Thursday morning.
  6. Matches will run Monday Morning to Wednesday Night at 9PM and Thursday morning to Sunday Night at 9PM. I will try to get matches posted Monday and Wednesday Morning by 9AM at the latest.
  7. Winner will receive a banner link on the top of my center widget on my site.

These are the rules, but they are subject to change before Thursday March 8. The rules will not change once the Tournament is started. Good Luck everyone.
