Tournament Overview:
How does this work?
Members enter the tournament by submitting the below form to @Grimalkin via PM. Once March 13th hits, I will randomly generate a bracket to use for the remainder of the contest. After the bracket is generated, the tournament will start! All battles will range from 2-7 days (the time is dependent on the round). In the case of a tie, a panel of unidentified staff members (who will have absolutely no connection to either of the forums or websites) will vote to determine the winner. The more battles you win, the better your prizes will become!
What are the prizes?
Prizes are awarded accordingly to your placement (if you win or lose). Since we do not know how many websites/forums will be entering, we cannot present a set-in-stone prize example. However, here is a rough estimate of placement winnings. The bottom line is this: the more battles you win, the better your prizes will become.

What are the rules in this tournament?- Certain Site Battle rules do not apply to Site Battle Madness. Members do not need to give a reason why they voted a particular way, nor do they need to publicly declare who they voted for. Both of these are optional, at voter's discretion.
- To submit your website to the Site Battle Madness Tournament you must follow these rules:
- You must have at least 10 posts on Forum Promotion.
- Your website must be older than one week (no beta/testing websites).
- You must be staff on the website that you're submitting.
- Guests must be able to view your website without logging into an account.
- All of the content on your website must follow our Board-Wide Guidelines and Acceptable Content Policy.
- You MAY ask members of your community to vote for you; in fact, this is encouraged.
- You may NOT create multiple accounts or pay other to create multiple accounts for you. If you or your members create duplicate accounts to vote in SBM, they will face a disqualification from the tournament and further moderation action.
- All members MUST have 10 posts before voting in a poll. If your website continuously refers members here who do not follow our Board-Wide Guidelines, your forum will risk disqualification from the tournament.
Back by popular demand...
- By popular demand, the save round is back. Whichever website receives the most votes BEFORE the Final Four vote will be brought back into the tournament for a 48-hour battle.
- The Gambling Round is also back. As with the Save Round, this is 48 hours. All members will be able to wage a winner-take-all bet.
How many websites can I enter?
You may only enter three (3) websites. To keep this tournament as fair as possible, we prefer to have it run with 32 or 64 websites in it (unless otherwise decided later on). Since we do not know how many websites will be submitted, please mark your websites as "Site 1", "Site 2", and "Site 3" to ensure we know which of your websites should have the highest priority in getting into the tournament. If we have any unfilled spaces in our bracket, the extra spaces will be on a first come, first serve basis in order of who submitted first.
Important: If you submit multiple websites, there's a chance that they'll unavoidably battle each other. In this case, only one of the websites can emerge victorious.
