We have 4 regional brackets for the Baby Madness Tournament.  Each bracket consists of 32 babies.  The brackets are as follows:

Please read the official rules below.  The voting periods are listed at the bottom of the page.

Official Rules

By participating in this contest you agree that all photos and materials that you submit or transmit are owned solely by you and that you assume total and exclusive responsibility and liability for the content thereof and the use thereof.  You must either be a legal guardian of the child, or have the permission from a legal guardian of the child to participate in the contest.  You only need a single legal guardian's approval to participate in the contest.  Any submissions that violate the previously mentioned rules will be disqualified.

During the first round of the contest you have the option to change your child's photo once.  To do so please email Steven Bohner at steven.bohner@townsquaremedia.com.  If we do not have your baby's name correct on the site or any other information is incorrect please contact Steven Bohner and he will correct the problem.  Some submissions did not include the baby's name, if your baby's name is not displayed, please contact Steven Bohner and he will correct the problem.

Each contestant is randomly given a spot in the bracket and assigned an opponent.  Each matchup is single elimination, the contestant with the most votes after the voting period will move on to the next round and the contestant with the least votes will be eliminated from the tournament.  In the event of a tie, the voting poll will be reopened for an hour to collect more votes.  If the result is still a tie, the poll will be reopened again for an hour.  Additional hours will be added in the event of a tie until an hour before the next round is scheduled to begin, a baby will then be chosen at random to move on in the tournament.

There are 4 regions in the Baby Madness tournament:  Rattle Region, Cradle Region, Bottle Region, and Pacifier Region.  The winners of each region will be put into the final 4 bracket illustrated below.
