For ~31 days, the members of GR will congregate for the biggest showdown spectacular of the year! Why is it so spectacular, you ask? Why is it the biggest? Because it's three showdowns in one! This year will be host to GRumble: Singles, GRumble: Doubles, and the GRind. The GRumble: Singles this year will have a World Cup-style (like last year's Doubles). We have 4 Groups composed of 6 contestants. Each will face off in 4 match-ups. Once that's all over, I will advance the top 4 from each group and randomly place them in a 16-man bracket. It is important to note that ties will not be resolved during this round. The GRumble: Doubles will have the same format. Only there's 2 Groups of 5 and I will advance the top 4 from each group and place them in a 8-man bracket. Finally our new contest, The GRind will be a survivor elimination contest. Everyone will be included in this (even Lethean, who was too late for Singles and Doubles). Each day, we will vote on one person to eliminate from the GRind. And if you don't understand how it will then play out...well...you're special. Let's have fun, I will be opening a publicity thread. Feel free to fill it with whatever you can. I can only imagine that the more stuff you put in there...the better. Start creating some readable threads. The more active you are on the forums, the better you usually seem to do. Get me your team names. Rules: Vote once per round. Keep it classy, bitches Yup, that's it.

If you're having a hard time, imagine this: You have a box of doughnuts and enough for everyone except this guy Who will not be enjoying a tasty treat?
Way to not vote Lethean! Eyebrows HK, my partner Wicked, my other partner As for this GRind, it'll make us all look like dicks but I'll vote out Gunner, sorry charlie.
The GRind is described fairly clearly above. You became a part of it the moment that you posted in the sign-up thread. My votes go to: Eyebrows, you're never at a loss for words. Whether I agree or not is another thing. Longo, you make me laugh. DocMoc, I like you. Plus, who votes for themselves. I clearly said... WickedLiquid, you didn't do the classy thing...suffer the consequences. And finally, Sightless. I will not be sharing the rest of this GRind with you.
Eyebrowsbv31 Longo_2_guns WickedLiquid I will vote Mod-Chip out of the GRind! Great stuff Bret. you have imagination! It's as if you're oriental and south american at the same time!.....Oh..
Diesel Longo Quid -Mod-Chip If anyone ever quotes The Weakest Link, I will vote against you the rest of the GRumble.
Eyebrows, Longo, Abstain. Abstain for the GRind. Great idea Bret. Survivor style. Oh, and I like you too.
