How it works:
There will be two threads a day, with battles (aka voting) lasting for 24 hours, one thread for the "Splat" conference (aka Nickelodeon), and one for the "Checkerboard" conference (aka Cartoon Network). I will update the threads each night, listing that day's contenders. Voting is done by posting in the thread which of the two shows you support. Just one vote per forum member please, per day.

"So what's eligible to appear in the tournament, and what's not?"
This year's tournament is being done in celebration of this year being the 30th anniversary of the premiere of the first 3 "Nicktoons" ("Doug", "Ren & Stimpy", and "Rugrats") and 25th anniversary of the first "Cartoon Cartoon" ("Dexter's Lab"). So the contenders included for Cartoon Network start in 1996, though "pre-Cartoon Cartoon" (shows like "2 Stupid Dogs") may be eligible for the "Bonus Round".
Also, no 3rd party properties that were not owned by Cartoon Network or Nick (so no "Teen Titans", no the new versions of "Garfield" or "Alvin and the Chipmunks" that aired on Nick, etc).
Beyond that, is there a show missing from the tournament that you feel that was overlooked? Drop a line here, maybe that show will get in as a "Bonus" addition later on in the tournament!
And now for the actual tournament (voting) threads:
Round #1 of the "Splat" Conference!
Round #1 of the "Checkerboard" Conference!
