How it works

The format of the tournament is similar to the College Basketball’s March Madness Tournament - where 64 teams compete to be called the best. The Stuffable Cup is the same thing - except instead of teams competing - its your stuff that wants to be called the best!

After you have signed up you can add pictures and stories of your stuff into a tournament. The better the stories the more likely you are to get votes - but don’t worry if you don’t have that one amazing item you can still submit your old dirty shoes…you never know what people will vote for! In order to get votes you are going to need the help of your friends… so invite them all to come play and most of all to vote for your stuff. Eventually the best stuff and the person who owns it will win the grand prize!
Tournament Rounds

Open Round
This round is a free for all. Please check the tournament page for details on when the open round for each tournament ends. You can add as much stuff as you like during this round - and the top 64 items will advance to the actual tournament. You can have up to 5 of your items entered into the tournament if you are lucky enough to get that many votes!

Closed Rounds
These are the Rounds of 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, and 2. In these rounds items square off against each other - and the item with the most votes at the end of each round will advance. The rounds will last 4 days each. The winner will be announced at the end of the final round.

The Scoring

Vote totals are affected by votes for an item and bonus votes. You can only vote for an item 1 time per round.

Direct Votes
Direct Item vote = 25 votes are applied to that item

Bonus Votes
Bonus votes are automatically applied to all your items that you have in the tournament at that time. You can get bonus votes in 3 ways:

1. Invite a friend = 5 bonus votes
2. Friend you invited signs up = 5 bonus votes
3. Add an additional piece of stuff* = 2 bonus votes

*You only start earning bonus votes for adding items after you have qualified - see rules below
The Rules

In order to advance out of the Open Round you must be considered a Qualified Stuffer! To do this you need to make sure you complete the following 4 items:

1. Complete the signup process
2. Enter a minimum of 5 items
3. Invite 2 friends via the invite page
4. Remain an active user through the whole tournament
Get Started!

If your stuff is hot enough, it just might win one of our grand prizes, like a Nintendo Wii or Apple iPod.

 We have been flooded with emails from our savy Stuffers letting us know that we had a glitch in the machine - and that the comments weren’t calculating right.  Happy to say that we have fixed the issue - and sad at the same time…many of your items you previously thought to be extremely popular have been brought back to earth!

 Keep up the feedback!  Thanks!

For all of you that asked if we could add some sort criteria for the User search - mission accomplished!

Now if you are searching for a user with an “a” in the name - you can sort those results based on recent, most items, or alphabetically!

Aaron’s stuff - a Bob Long Closer paintball gun won him some brand new stuff….

A $15 iTunes Gift Card

So, Congrats to him and to everyone else - keep voting, inviting your friends and look out for some enhancements to the app by next weekend!

The open round of the 1st Stuffable Cup is being extended to March 7th, 2008. Currently there are not enough users qualified to begin the Cup. Since this app just launched last week we feel it only fair to give it a bit more time to gain some traction and give you more time to add your 5 items to qualify!

So, for all of you that have been in it from the start - or for the people counting down the days till you could possibly win the Nintendo Wii - now you have more time to get more votes!

In the next week we will also be releasing an cool new upgrade to the app - one that will make it easier to get more votes and increase your chances of getting the Wii! Stay tuned…

As for our original deadline - just because we are in the business of giving stuff away - we won’t disappoint! The top vote getter will be awarded with an iTunes gift card as our way of saying thanks for getting in early! All votes that have been earned to date won’t be lost - so keep inviting friends to vote for your stuff!!

Next Months tournament will start begin the Open Round when this months tournament begins the closed round…or on March 8th at 12 am. So if your item doesn’t make it in you can add new stuff (or re add your old stuff…but if it didn’t get in last time…) and try again for the big prize!

We will be releasing the next prize we are giving away soon - but if you have suggestions feel free to post them on our wall! You can see some of the stuff we have that is going to be given away at

Thanks
