I received this notice today. Today is the first day to Tournament Earth. Set up your own bracket and keep track of how you do for the entire tournament. It's worth 5 bonus points. You must show evidence of: setting up the brackets, voting, and how well you ultimately do. It's kind of an earth science version of the Final Four, but to me it's more interesting.
They face off on the frozen tundra and in the searing deserts. They meet high in the stratosphere and in the depths of the ocean. They clash on the remotest of islands and in the brightly-lit urban centers. They are the best and brightest of Earth’s stars, and they meet again in friendly international competition.
Thirty-two of the best Earth Observatory images will meet in Tournament Earth 3.0, but only one can be the winner. From March 2 through April 6, you can vote for your favorite images from the past year, whittling the total from 32 to 16 to 8 to 4 to 2 in a month-long tournament of remote sensing madness. The competition will be stiff in the four brackets — Data, Art, Event, and Photograph — so it is up to you to separate the winners from the losers. Come back each week to vote in each new round.
