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. Vote shamers will be denounced.
- 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
- 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. Demonland 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.
