Recent Developments

Rosters and Seeds are now frozen. We are officially locked in. Now we wait for the pairings to happen at 6PM on 16March08. Behold the Number One Seeds: South: The Dandy Warhols, MidWest: Regina Spektor, West: The Flaming Lips, East: The White Stripes. Look for these groups to dominate, but beware of upsets.

Star Wars 2008 announces that Pope Benedict XVI will be showing up at halftimes of random games-unannounced and with a gun..... around the nation to demonstrate Gun Safety. Stick around to hear his "Why Guns Aren't Fun" speech.

"I know my gun is empty, so some unsafe practices are OK, as long as one is demonstrating poor habits in order to teach the kids, " said The Pope. "A gun is not always loaded. There is a misconception about that. I hear adults tell kids, 'A gun is always loaded'. What? I want to clear that up as well."

Bad time for Sheryl Crow. She was having a great season until losing to 38 Special and has fallen mightily in the rankings.

The Donnas have replaced Billy Idol(bad knees). Idol, a familiar face in Star Wars has been a non-factor all year.

Look at Beck, who has been a regular Star Wars player over the past, but until this year had never gone too far. He has been solid all year and many think he has a chance to win it all.

The Floaters, as tradition has it, will be the 65th team, playing in the 'play-in' game against an undetermined opponent. Who can remember their hit "Float On" in 1978?

Fun Facts: Did you know that from 1976-1979, Star Wars winners were determined by Ping Pong matches? Yes they were. They still talk about Lobo's wicked serve to this day.
