Welcome to the Something Awful Top Dog Tournament! :siren:

pig slut lisa posted:

The Something Awful Top Dog Tournament is a competition to determine the top dog across this whole forum. Think you know a pooch who's up for the task? Nominate a dog, win the subforum round, and take on the top dogs from subforums across SA!

How does it work?

The three stages of the Top Dog Tournament are:
1) Subforum Nomination - Each participating subforum has a nomination thread for posters to nominate potential Top Dogs
2) Subforum Voting - Each subforum votes to determine the champion that will represent them in the forumwide vote
3) Forumwide Voting - The champions from every subforum go head to head to determine the Top Dog of the Tournament

This thread is Stage 1: Subforum Nomination

To nominate a dog for the tournament, please post ONCE AND ONLY ONCE in this thread in the following format:

Dog name

One sentence about why this dog is a good dog

Picture of dog

An example of a properly formatted nomination post is as follows:

quote:
Otis

Otis is a good dog because he once ate an entire loaf of pumpkin bread and pooped bright orange for two days

Nominations will be open until at least Wednesday, March 1. Polls for subforum voting will open shortly after.

Questions and Answers

Do I have to post my own dog?
No! Post any dog you like.

Can I nominate more than one dog?
No! Please nominate only one dog and choose one subforum to nominate in.

Does the dog I nominate have to be a real dog?
Nope! Paintings, cartoons, doodles, ASCII art, it's all fine. The only condition is that the dog must be Good.

Can I vote in subforums I don't actively participate in?
Definitely! Please visit all the participating subforums so you don't miss any dogs.

Where can I talk about the dogs that I like and dislike?
The voting threads are a great place to talk about the dogs you like! Please only post nominations in the nomination thread.

It is illegal to dislike any dogs

Won't the big subforums crowd out the little ones during the final vote?
Who knows and who cares!

Who should I talk to if I have questions?
The mod of each subforum is a good place to start. You can also ask tournament organizer pig slut lisa any questions or post in QCS.

Who's a good boy?
All of them

Get to posting, y'all! :sax:

Communism is actually bad because it involves humans being good to each other. But if we could get dogunism then we'd really be on to something.

Panic! at Nabisco: Jun 6, 2007; it seemed like a good idea at the time

Names: Olive and Gracie

Why they are good dogs: Olive and Gracie are good dogs because they are tiny dog-cows, and always sleep cuddled together. I think they're an exception to the one-dog rule because they're extremely close sisters from the same litter and do everything together, so they are basically judged as one unit.
