Yes, I take the lists. I tally how many times each movie is on someone's list. Then I seed out the tournament based on those tallies. For the ties, like all the movies with 2 talles I use a random number generator web site that takes in a list and then randomizes it. The seedings determine the matchups. #1 vs #128, #2 vs #127........#64 vs #65 for Round #1. IF all favorites win Round #1 would look like #1 v #64, #2 vs #63. The easiest way to see how the seedings work is to look at if all favorites advance if every round. If that were to happen each matchups seedings would alway add up to 1 + the # of teams in Round. 129 for Round #1, 65 for Round #2, 33 for Round #3.......

Of course it is funny how some of the mtchups work out. We had Star Wars and Empire in the same section in the first tourney. We have Coen Brothers matchup in the comedy tourney. Tarantino Matchup in the Favorite Tourney. The all baseball matchup in this group. I believe if all goes as planned we will have a Mel Brooks slugfest early on in this one.

Dammit! I missed this poll entirely and would have voted for Sideways! Not, of course, that my one vote would have made a difference, it seems....
