Mailbox Madness 2018: #WordNerdEdition - Round 1

Bracket reveal, key dates & more!

---

Wecome to Round 1! In case you missed the awesomeness you're getting into, here's the epic trailer one more time:

Mailbox Madness 2018 #WordNerdEdition is an epic 6 round tournament to choose our favorite quote from Signed, Sealed, Delivered. The field has been narrowed to 64 of the most quoted lines from all installments separated into four categories (or regions) in our tournament bracket. The regions are:

• The Tree Lobster Region (Faith & Inspiration)
• The 1st Rose of Summer Region (Love & Romance)
• The Ducks & Capes Region (Humor & Wit)
• The Field Kit Region (Some Bonus Essentials)

The quotes in each region are seeded 1-16, just like a traditional tournament, with the more popular quotes #Theoretically getting an easier match up in the early rounds. That said - the best thing about a tournament is there are always upsets - and all of you will ultimately decide the champion through weekly voting.
