It's Time for July Madness! (We Need a Better Name)

Okay, folks. At a recent Gheorghe: The Summit here in Coastal Virginia, the three most idiotic Gheorghers sat down and cranked out the entries for a project we've had in the works for quite a while. The Selection Committee presents to you, fair readers, on this Selection Wednesday, the group of 63 entries in this, the first ever . . .

Classic Rock Shootout Championship Tournament

How it works (see if you can follow this complex formula):

At the 18th Annual Outer Banks Fishing Trip (T-minus 14 hours), we are going to listen to the local Classic Rock station (106.9 The Fox) beginning Friday morning. As soon as we hear a song by the artists we have selected, they move to the second round while their first-round opponent is ousted. Once the round is complete, on to the second round we go.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Ad nauseum. All weekend.

Flaws in the system? Many.
Flaws in the seeding? None. Shut up.
Intelligence in this concept? Eh, a little.
The best part? A write-in space at #64. You don't see this in the NCAA Tournament!

For those on the trip, this will be something special.
For those not, feel free to fill out your own bracket and follow along. If you have a smart phone, download WunderRadio app and find WAFX in Suffolk, VA. I hope to be able to update the online bracket as we go. (Somebody bring a laptop.)
