cK's March Madness of Pokémon has again made it's return! Let's have some fun this March Madness with a Pokémon twist! This year's theme will be the March Madness of
Starter Pokémon! That's right... to add to the tough decision you need to make at the start of your game, you now need to decide who is the best of the best starter! Best of luck, and choose wisely!
OVERALL EVENT
Here is a little overview on how the event will work. On Challonge I have created a playoff bracket matching each starter Pokémon against each other. Each cK participant will create their own prediction on how the matches will play out through each round of the event and predict who will ultimately win the event. These predictions need to be completed by
February 28th .
Once the event starts, participants can log into Challonge and then place votes on who they think/or want to win each matchup. Voting periods for each round are about 5 days to allow everyone to be able to get their votes in. The Pokémon with the most votes will win the match and advance in the event. This process will continue until a final Pokémon champion is decided. At that point the cK participant whose predictions most closely match the true outcome of the event wins!
SIGN-UPS
This event is open to any cK member! If you want to sign up please post on the thread so I can keep a running list of who is all participating. Once you have done so I will send you the link to the bracket on Challonge to start your predictions!
Sign-ups will end
February 28th as predictions need to be completes by then.
PREDICTIVE BRACKET
To create your predictive bracket please log into
(you need an account to see links) and head to the bracket. You will need to make a Challonge account.
When submitting your predictions; under
Prediction Title please use your cK username as part of it so I know who you are.
(eg. Great White North's Bracket)
You have until
February 28th to submit your predictions. Once the event starts on March 1st predictive brackets will no longer be accepted and the tournament will begin!
VOTING
*ONLY PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE SUBMITTED BRACKETS SHOULD BE VOTING*
To prevent non-participants from voting the Challonge link will not be posted on the thread so please ensure you save your link in your cK inbox or bookmark it in your browser.
On
March 1st the first rounds of voting will being. Make sure to vote on what Pokémon would win the head to head match up. Voting is not restricted to stat/performance and who you think would win in a battle. You can vote one whatever premise you like. You could vote on stats on who you think would win or your can vote based on appearance or even just personal preference. This is what makes the predictions fun as you don't know what your fellow cK'ers have chosen to base their predictions on!
Once the first round of voting is complete and the winners are declared the next round of voting will begin. This process will repeat until the end of the tournament!

DECLARING A WINNER
The winner of the 2023 March Madness of Pokémon will be the participant whose predictive bracket produces the most points and is the most accurate to the outcomes of the voting results. Each round will have an allocated score for each correct prediction. As the tournament progresses the value of each correct prediction increases. (eg. Round 1 correct prediction = 10 points, Round 2 correct prediction = 20). This is all calculated by the Challonge program.
