Documentary tournament
I haven't taken part in a tourney in a good while, so I figured I'd try to get one going. I don't know how popular a tourney topic documentaries will be, but I figured I'd give it a shot. If people are interested, cool, if not, just let the thread die I guess.
Anyway, there'll be 16 spots. Three nominations and seconds each. I took it upon myself to get the list started with the two best documentaries I've seen in automatically. That's it for me. If people want to play, nominate away.
The List
Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (1996)
Waco: The Rules of Engagement (1997)

Yes, the documentary is alive and well at HTF. 60,000 members and only 4 to participate in a tourney.
Woohoo!
