Friends, you would no doubt all be aware of how the tournament works by now but for anyone who has come in late it's that magical time of the year when we hold a knockout tournament to decide the MFC People's Champion.

The draw will be conducted under government supervision from 9am Monday 25 January, with live updates on Twitter @demonblog and a full run-down of match-ups on demonblog.com by approximately 10.15am.

Rules
  • The voting criteria for each match-up is your personal business. It need not having anything to do with football if you don't want it to, but if you do then good luck to you. We won't ask questions, and nor should anyone else
  • Voting will be conducted between 7am and 7pm AEDST unless otherwise noted
  • You must cast a valid vote for every match that day or none of your votes on that day's matches will count (I'll try and remind you where possible by there are no guarantees).
  • You must pick a winner in every match up. No half votes, no "I can't split them". Yes you can, and you must.
  • Non-MFC fans are more than welcome to vote as long as you follow all other rules
  • Players are more than welcome to use social media, real media or paid advertising to promote themselves. Outright bribery, however, is not permitted.
  • Players may vote for themselves as long as they also vote in the other matchups of the day as per the above rules
  • In the event of a tie both players will advance to the next round, except in the case of the Grand Final where a replay will be held the following day.
  • If a match features three or more players and two or more tie for the most votes they will advance with all other players eliminated.
  • We reserve the right to refuse an excessive number of multiple votes from the same person using multiple accounts
  • Voting will once again be conducted in an open format (Twitter, BigFooty. and Facebook) to keep it interesting but if you're really keen on your privacy or have an intense hatred of social media you can email me daily via demonblogger AT gmail.com
  • The decision of the Demonbracket Organising Committee is final. Unless somebody takes us to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lucerne.
  • Speaking of the Court of Arbitration we're not a signatory to WADA, so Jake Melksham remains eligible to compete in the bracket despite being banned for a year.

Not using Typeform this round? You're a sucker for punishment. Was there instances of irregularities in voting last year with some voters using multiple computers to lodge many votes?

But it does improve the banter.
 
Like i suggested in spudbracket we should use the hash tags to vote on here to get it trending on bigfooty

Correct, Typeform is easier but boring. Anonymous voting might help some more upsets get up, but the open system is a tradition now.

P.S - Go nuts with the hashtags, #nobloodyidea how they work myself.

The good news is that as in previous years BF voting will have all matchups loaded the night before (and you can do AM/PM sessions at the same time) so you can get in early.
