New for 2025: Check out the Bracket Guide!

For anyone who may not have ever played, or those who need a refresher, here’s a little information on how it all works:

1.  Pick which competitor you think will win in a battle (or sometimes they just meet each other apathetically).  Each combatant is seeded according to their biology, ecology, behaviors, etc.  Lower the seed, better chance of winning.  But there will be upsets!  NOTE: Please write out the common name for your choices.  Do NOT just enter the seed number.  This makes it much harder to update brackets.
2. Lower seed gets home habitat advantage within the brackets.  Once we get to the Final Roar and Championship habitat is random.
3. Follow #2025MMM for blow by blow battling and scientific trash talking.  Follow @MMMletsgo for the clean, results only version (created for K12 observers). I will also send out an email summarizing the results and update the large bracket on the bulletin board. 
4. Update your bracket based on the results and tally your points according to the sheet.  (1 point for each win in round 1, 2 for round 2, etc.)
5. If you have the most points at the end, you win the grand prize! Don’t worry if your bracket doesn’t look too promising after the first couple of rounds, though. I run a drawing for prizes each week, so you still have plenty of chances to earn a prize!
