While I'm thinking of it ... we should probably figure out how we're going to deal with the crucial semi final and final rounds here ... So much is at stake for all of these fine cereals that have worked and trained so hard all season ...

Not terribly well thought out proposal: Should the semis and finals be determined not by a single call of winner in the matchup, but through the means of a vote by PM? That way some of the dramatic tension of the real end of march madness will be sustained.

Voting should, though, include more than just a call for a particular cereal ... votes should come with justification. The ref (UT) makes the final determination as to whether an additional vote goes to a team for originality or humor or whatever ... the winner, as we all know, is not always the top seed. There are some amazing upsets that occur in sports.

To account for schedules and time zones, voting should remain open for at least 24 hrs ... do the semis one day, and the finals the next.
