Actually every episode will be on the bracket, you'll just be jacking up the seed it gets. And with this, only 1 episode has yet to get a Top 12 spot.

While I'm thinking about it, I'll bring up tiebreakers, if episodes have the same amount of points, tiebreakers will be decided by:

1. Number of Top 12 showings
2. If Top 12 showings are the same, then by place average.

I think a lot of people are making the mistake of putting their LEAST favorite episodes at the number 12 spot...this is supposed to be your top 12 FAVORITE episodes from the series.

I actually like Turtle Temper. I didn't think it was that bad of an episode.

My comment wasn't directed at you, it was for everyone in general. Now that you say that though, I could be wrong.

Would the OP please do the honor? If not, I shall proceed.

Poll based on what? I'm doing it tournament style (hence the title); makes it more appealing, at least to me anyway. The lists will determine the rankings of each episode for the bracket. I'm keeping track of the episodes listed on each list, no one else needs to worry about that, but me.

I'll post the official bracket on brackmaker.com and I'll post the link on page on here.
