The ####### Comedy Bracket, done right this time


Nov 5, 2021, 2:30 PM

For real. ####.

Okay, after my own attempts at this were a bad comedy, I took dawg's suggestion and got this all web based.

Follow the link below to vote. This covers Regions 1 and 2. I will post Regions 3 and 4 in the reply.

You have until the end of the day Monday to vote Round One. Then end of the day Tuesday to vote Round 2. Wednesday for Round 3. You get the picture.

We'll have a championship round that following Monday.

At this point, I ain't changing anything because I've flubbed everything else worse than Hangover 3.
