So, I'm going to kick off the best character tournament.

The big 4 will be the top 4 seeds.

I've put together a list of 236 other characters.

Going to have to pare them down to seed them correctly. This will be done by putting them in groups of 8 with a random number generator. This week will basically just seeding them by your votes.

Group A-F: Monday
Group G-K: Tuesday
Group L-P: Wednesday
Group Q-U: Thursday
Group V-AA: Friday

Whichever characters get the highest % of votes will be seeded accordingly - probably just the top 64.

Going to load up the first 6 groups in a few minutes. Also going to ignore all stupid questions and complaints. But I'm sure that won't stop you!

Serenity Now

I think this should be without the big 4. Only supporting characters. Otherwise it'll just be George plowing through

This list could use some clarification? For example just random first names of I'm assuming Jerry's girlfriends? Like Laura or Katie.

Maybe more of a manual pull on the top 64 supporting characters

If you've got time to waste voting in this poll, you've got time to waste looking up to see who the characters are.

Yes. Because that time investment is the same.

Is it fair to have someone like Frank Costanza (who appears in numerous episodes) against characters who only appeared in 1?

The point of these groups is to seed the tournament.

He's in a different pool, so when he comes up, you can vote for him.

I didn't see Jackie Chiles. Maybe he will be in a later group? He and Frank are probably my favorite two.

    Not to be confused with Mark Farbman, who designed many of the houses in The Hamptons.

    Alright, if your first name starts with A through M, vote for Bookman.

    If your first name starts with N through Z, vote Klompus!

    I'm not into all the voting and polls and stuff but I'm all about the fun of reminiscing about Seinfeld.

    My favorite episode ever is The Voice. Every storyline is fun, silly, absurd. I liked the whole series but a lot of my favorite moments are in the last couple seasons.

    Currently on season 7. Last night was planning on going to bed after an episode. Went to turn off the tv, but saw that soup Nazi was next. Can't stop there……

    Was great and worth the 25ish less minutes of sleep.

    Closing the Tuesday voting in about 30 minutes if you haven't voted.

    I watched most of the one where Elaine turns the guy from gay to straight and George dates the bald woman, featuring Elaine's legendary swiping of George's toupee, and yelling "I DONT LIKE THIS THING! AND HERE'S WHAT I"M DOING WITH IT!" before chucking it out the window.
