Naming the "Debate" Section - March Madness Style

So, I figured, what would be a better way to name the new section than via a tournament?

It will be a 12 name tournament, with 4 regions (one of each of the people who helped me with the idea of creating this). The top 4 names all get a bye round one.

Sooooo, without further ado, I unveil the bracket, starting with the 4 number one seeds:

In the False Prophet Region, the number one seed is <drumroll>....Debate. Why? Because it's the reigning champ (aka the current name). So it gets the number one overall seed.

In the Justin Region, the number one seed is <drumroll>.....Forum. Justin wanted a full fledged forum installed, but that's lame and wikia doesn't like it, so it was his suggested name.

In the Mookie Region, the number one seed is <drumroll>.....Rant. Why? Because that's all he's good at ;).

In the Cheezer Region, the number one seed is <drumroll>..... Crumb. He didn't propose it, but he liked it.

The rest of the names are below.

Why? Because that's all he's good at ;).

I'd tell everyone what you're good at but it's a family site so I will withhold that info I have on you. ;-)

RIP Peter Zezel, Rant by User SSreporters, doesn't sound right does it?

Way to give me the weakest one. How can you do 12 teams? Doesn't it have to be 16?

Reading is the enemy.

Whiteboard...haha. I like Press Box the best but what about VIP section since it's exclusive and not too many people outside of the AGM regulars know about it. ;-)

Shouldn't this be a debate instead of a poll?

FP I think you need to add a question mark at the end of the poll. I did a test poll and it worked with a question mark.

no the issue was the quotation marks. The coding for the pollembed feature uses quotes to identify the title, so all the polls were just named "Better name for the" according to the script.
