Gentlemen... we need more corn tournaments!
Yes that's right, we're having another one for the poor saps who are willing to enter.
*cue groaning*
But this time, it's MANLY POSSESSION.
Rules:
Must be at least 3 points per match with 1 match minimum; multiple matches on multiple maps are ok.
Must be held for 45 seconds at minimum. (sv_possessionholdtime 45)
BEFORE YOU ASK: Possession servers are in short supply, so if all players agree, a player can host it.
...That's pretty much it.
The lineup:

UPDATES TO THE BRACKET: Stonefunk and Michael712 moved to bottom right bracket to reduce lag for them in the semis.

About medals...
Medals have turned everything into a damn competition. Everybody starts an expansion because everybody wants a medal. Everybody posts a video because everybody wants a medal. Dear God help them if they don't get that medal within 10 seconds of posting the video. The site has become more about medals than anything else. There should be 4 medals as far as I'm concerned: MM8BDM contributor, Donor, Ghouls contributor, and bug cruncher. Heck, even that last one could be combined into the contributor medals. (note that contributor would combine the expansion medals and the original contributor into one)
Also, for some of these competitions, some people may not have been there for some of them or may have had like some sort of virus on their computer or whatnot. Because you win the medal doesn't mean you're God's gift to the Earth at whatever you won the medal for, it means you won a competition. Heck, for the most recent art contest, in my opinion the pieces that obviously had the most work put into them lost because "ZOMG CAT ROLL!" I mean, it was good, sure, but it doesn't mean it was the best picture out of all of them.
In short, get rid of the medals: They only cause a competition to see who can get the most, just like post counts.
About the competition, here's hoping it gets done a bit better than a certain other competition. My recommendation is 1:15 for 1 vs 1, 1:00 for 1 vs 1 vs 1 and :45 for 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1.
After probably the most intense match I've ever played, and I'm not joking here. Kenkoru remained victorious.

The second round, the board got stuck, so we did another 1 point round on the same map

Thank ya.
The frtist match was fun, with lotsa drill boomers.(http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd3/Muzaru-X/Screenshot_Doom_20110306_201354.png) The second match was a bit different... as the board was dropped inta the pit.... There were no survivors... Or else they were die.(http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd3/Muzaru-X/Screenshot_Doom_20110306_202854.png)But we kept going, we knew the future of the world was in our hands... We knew our mission. (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd3/Muzaru-X/Screenshot_Doom_20110306_203020.png)We were just kids, man... Just kids...

The More Sacred It Is, The Funnier It Is To Corrupt
(http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx327/Kirb_of_Derp/NoRedTime.jpg)
The Final has been played, and given the length of the first game, we all collectively decided that the first to two game victories would win the final.
The first game was on Knight Man.
(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/34/finalgame1.png) (http://img191.imageshack.us/i/finalgame1.png/)
rTist won this round.
There were several maps in between this one and the next finished game; it was just tough for any of us to get anything going on some of these maps.
The second (finished) game was on Ice Man
(http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/5899/finalgame2.png) (http://img153.imageshack.us/i/finalgame2.png/)
Rawk Hawk won this round.
Again, several more maps were played (without any progress what-so-ever) until we reached Centaur Man
(http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/7053/finalgame3part1.png) (http://img121.imageshack.us/i/finalgame3part1.png/)
We reached this point and then the circuit board got stuck in a crack. Needless to say, we had to restart, but with the scores intact.(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/3695/finalgame3part2.png) (http://img820.imageshack.us/i/finalgame3part2.png/)
Rawk Hawk won this round and the tournament!
The final tally was:
Rawk Hawk: 2 Wins, 8 Captures
rTist: 1 Win, 4 Captures
Kapus: 0 Wins, 4 Captures
Orange Juice: 0 Wins, 2 Captures
So Rawk Hawk won the tournament, with rTist as runner-up, and Kapus (assuming there was a tie-breaker on Captures) in 3rd.
All hail the victorious Rawk!
EDIT: My understanding is that the match will be posted to youtube, though I don't remember who recorded it. If I figure it out, I'll post a link.
