Psst... NCDoubleRay, here. 

Yeah, yeah, The Dance... Sweet Sixteen... Final Four... NCAA National Champs.  Who needs college basketball when Tournament of Ideas is in the House?  In the House of Shine, that is!

You got it baby.

This week we kick off House of Shine's Second Annual Tournament of Ideas.  Here's the game plan.

Today, an intro and a quick brush up on the rules of play.  Tomorrow Team #1 will present their favorite idea, product, or resource from the year 2009.  You vote on which of their top three ideas you like most.  The idea receiving the most votes advances to Friday's Playoff Game.

On Wednesday, Team #2 will present their favorite idea from 2009.  You vote for which for their top three ideas you like the most.  Then, the idea receiving the most votes advances to Friday's Playoff Game.

On Thursday, Team #3 will present their idea from 2009 and if you don't know what happens from there, go get the pump and put a few more pounds of air in your head.

Friday, bring your A-game to the House of Shine.  

Not only will you vote on which of the three ideas is worthy of winning our National Championship, but we are also going to ask you to get off your @$$ and quit warming the Free For All Friday bench.  Come ready to tell us about YOUR favorite idea, product, or resource from 2009.  Friday.  Not until Friday!  Got it?  Are you sure?   Good.

Now, how about warming up?  Visit us in the Community Forum labeled Today's Post and vote on this...  Basketball: (A) Total Slam Dunk, (B) Only in March, or (C) Just a Bunch of Dribble.

Shining off until tomorrow...
