Meme Wars Tournament

Baggly

Hello all,

I was hoping to try a new style of tournament here on the forum.

The idea is that we have a poster vs poster showdown tournament.

Anyone interested can sign up here and when we have a number suitable to tournament brackets (4,8,16,32 (i wish )) then we can create the battles that will decide who advances.

How will the battles take form? Well, via memes of course!

Each person will select 3 memes per battle and PM them to me before the battle starts.

Each battle will be a back and forth, with 1 person selected at random to 'serve' the first meme, with the second person selecting 1 meme from their nominated 3 to 'return'.

I will post the memes so that who picked what meme remains anonymous and bias towards one poster or another doesn't (hopefully) take place.

Whichever player has the most 'thanks' from other users on their 3 combined memes will win the battle.

There will be open rounds where those battling can choose any meme they like, and themed rounds where i will give them a theme or style of meme to choose.

This is the first time we will have tried this, so we will figure it out as we go a bit.

If you are interested in trying it out, sign up below.

Here is our tournament structure and brackets.



PMs going out to those taking part shortly!

Here are our rules:

1. Make sure the memes follow boards rules
2. Keep them clean
3. Gifs are allowed, but lets not have a giffed movie - keep it relatively short
4. Don’t post on thread saying 'oh yeah that’s my one' until after voting closes
5. No self voting
6. Before each round you send me 3 memes of your choosing which I will post for you. If you want them posted in a particular order, please let me know
7. Most combined thanks on the 3 memes after 1 day wins the round and progresses to the next round
8. Have your first 3 memes to me via PM by 10am Friday 26th June

Nah all the memes that have come in have been perfect. All you can do now is canvas for thanks. Harvest those thanks for your memes.

I'm expecting some seriously dank memeing.

'Thanks' will be earned.

Safe to say I interpreted the game differently to everyone else

Necro

Well played EN Tough break there

I focused more on the war, less on the memes, I thought we were aiming for insults

Kolido

Well played Trigger, good luck in the next round

Necro

So whose memes were which? I know EN's based on where mine appeared but not sure on anyone else's. First battle was sully/Timberrr I think (science teacher meme)?

I posted the memes in the order that people were listed in the battles.

So EN vs Necro, EN served and then you returned etc.etc.

Sully served first in battle A.

I thought we alternated serve/return (and thought it was more of a battle) so mine were...

For my first service game:


For my first return:


For round 3:
