Starting this week, Operation Sports will be holding its first annual "Best Sports Game Of All Time" Tournament.

Nominations were held in both the OS and MM forums with over 100 different games nominated.

The Operation Sports staff then took the time to widdle the list down to 64 candidates and seed them March Madness style.

In the next couple of days voting will begin both in this room and at MaddenMania. Voting for each match will last 4 days with the top vote getter moving on.
