Board 8 > B8's Triple Blind Bracketeering: The Forum Game - Part 2: The Revenge

(+) Yeah! (+)

I ran this a few years ago and had a lot of fun with it, but for whatever reason never ran it after, so I'll finally try it out again.

Everyone who's played Bracketeering in the Jackbox Party Packs knows that the Triple Blind Bracket is the best part of the game. So what if we made that a contest?

For those who have never played Bracketeering, essentially I'll ask for people to submit entrants into the contest under a certain subject. However, the subject is going to change once the contest begins, and will continue to change each round.

For example, I might ask you to nominate a favorite movie. But then when the first round starts, you will instead be voting on "Best movie for date night" or "Movie you most want to see made into a Netflix series" or so forth.

It's a silly contest more than anything, so it'll go pretty fast-paced and the stakes are utlimately low. I'll have a list of about 10 possible prompts for the rounds, and I'll just RNG pick them each time.

So for the first round, I'm just looking for something simple, and I hope to get 64 nominations, 2 per user (might increase if it's slow to hit that number)
Intial Prompt: ANY TV show.

to further give you an idea, this is what the original game ended up looking like:
Initial Prompt: Any video game protagonist
Round 1: Who would be the scariest horror movie villain?
Round 2: Who is the best in bed?
Round 3: Who is ScarJo starring as in her controversial new film?
Round 4: Who are you drafting onto your Mercenaries V team?
Winner: Samus

The West Wing

One more thing I wanted to propose

In typical Bracketeering, the first round is a series of 4-way fights, with subsequent rounds being 1v1s. That's how I ran the first one, and I'm on the fence if I want to do it that way (which will be closer to real Bracketeering and give us 6 rounds) or just 1v1s the whole way through (which gives us 6 rounds and makes it last a decent bit longer)

Does anybody have a preference?

I kind of like the 4-ways because it cuts a lot of chaff at first. If you do one v ones all the way through, it might soften the jokes in the first round.

That said, 1v1s all the way through give more shows more chances.
