2.  Vote in The Tournament: Enter the Battle!  This is where "teams" advance round by round to ultimately decide who's the Best EVER!

Once the brackets are in, we will notifiy you with an email that the BRACKET ROUND is closed and the TOURNAMENT is starting! 

It's now up to you - and the world - to  decide who (or what)  keeps moving forward.  A round by round battle over who's the best will start.   You can  join the battle and VOTE  for the teams YOU want to survive to the next round - and see if the rest of the world agrees!

Anyone can join the Tournament at any round - ultimately, it's the People's choice who moves on.   So, the teams with the most votes when each round is done will move forward.  You don't have forever, so the timer on each round will tell you how long you have to vote.

You will be notified by email when one round's winners are announced and each new round is about to start.
