This year's tournament - which will begin on Monday 29 January - marks the seventh time where fans have gathered to cast arbitrary votes on their favourite Melbourne players. Results from previous years:
Friday 26 January - The competition draw - sponsored by Union Carbide and Exxon - conducted live on Twitter from 18:00. Unless you're a celebrity and want to do it via Facebook Live as well, in that case if you're willing to work for free please get in touch.
Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 January - Preliminary Round
Wednesday 31 January to Monday 5 February - Round 1
Tuesday 6 February to Wednesday 7 February - Round 2
Thursday 8 February to Friday 9 February - Quarter Finals
Monday 10 February - Semi Final
Tuesday 11 February - Grand Final
And now, to officially launch this year's tournament - it's Diana Ross having a kick in a shockingly low-fi video.
Rules
- The voting criteria for each match-up is your personal business. It need not have anything to do with football if you don't want it to, but if does then the best of British luck to you. We won't ask questions, and nor should anyone else. If anyone tries to vote shame you denounce them on the internet.
- Voting will be conducted between 0700 and 1900 AEDST unless otherwise noted
- You must cast a valid vote for every match that day or none of your votes on that day's matches will count (I'll try and remind you where possible by there are no guarantees).
- You must pick a winner in every match up. No half votes, no "I can't split them". Yes you can, and you must.
- Non-MFC fans are more than welcome to vote as long as you follow all other rules
- Players are more than welcome to use social media, real media or paid advertising to promote themselves. Outright bribery is not permitted.
- Players may vote for themselves as long as they also vote in the other matchups of the day as per the above rules
- In the event of a tie both players will advance to the next round, except in the case of the Grand Final where a replay will be held the following day.
- If a match features three or more players and two or more tie for the most votes they will advance with all other players eliminated.
- We reserve the right to refuse an excessive number of multiple votes from the same person using multiple accounts
- Voting is conducted in an open format (Twitter, BigFooty. and Facebook) to keep it interesting but if you're really keen on your privacy or have an intense hatred of social media you can email me daily via demonblogger AT gmail.com
- The decision of the Demonbracket Organising Committee is final. Unless somebody takes us to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lucerne.
