The rules to qualify for the tournament: Actor had to star in at least 25 movie….and had to be ranked in the Top 64 when looking at the average Ultimate Movie Ranking (UMR) Score.  The men’s Top Seeds are Spencer Tracy, James Stewart, Tom Hanks and Gary Cooper.

The rules to advance to the next round:  The three four rounds are a best-of-three movie matchup.  The 4th round (the right to go to the Final Four) is a best-of-five matchup. The last two rounds (Final Four & Finals) are a best-of-seven. Using a random number generator each actor/actress’ movie is drawn from their Top 25 UMR rated movies.  The movie with the higher UMR score wins that matchup.  First one to either 2,3 or 4 wins moves to the next round. Movie can only be used once for the entire tournament….which is why 25 movies is the minimum to qualify for the tournament.  This continues until only one actor/actress is left.  For the first time…we have enough actresses to have their own tournament.
