Television Show World Cup

[comahan]

There were several people unhappy with the way the Top 25 List Went. So... ta da! The top 32 shows, as voted on by you, will be competing against one another in a challenge based off of the World Cup.

How will matchups work?
I will announce the beginning of a certain match. It is then up to you to vote for who you feel should win the match. It will be the first show to reach 7 votes that will win the match. There will be a time limit of 24 hours for each match. If a group match ends in a tie, that is the end of that match. If a non-group match ends in a tie, it will be the next vote wins it. This tiebreaker can be voted for by someone who hasn't yet voted.

How do the groups work?
If a show wins a match, it get 3 points, if it draws it gets 1 and if it loses it get 0. If two shows are equal on points, they will be separated by who has the better vote differential. Vote deferential is the number of votes in favour of that Show minus the number of votes against them in all matches. If this is tied, it will go to whoever has the most votes in total.

The drawings will take place in uh, a few minutes. The 4 pots are listed below. No rules in this about like, multi euro teams or anything. There will be 8 groups, one show from each pot in each group.

Big Fan of this Idea. Can't wait for a group of death.

It could be Dexter, Sopranos, Wire, and Freaks and Geeks. That would be intense.
