What?! In an unprecedented move, the Supreme Executive Committee needs YOUR help. It's true! In this week's action-packed episode of Monday Madness, Tim and Scott solicit the advice of the Lent Madness global viewing public, as they put out a request to help name some of the epic themed battles of the 2021 competition. To succeed in making your mark upon this year's Saintly Smackdown, simply combine the ethos of professional wrestling with the ambiance of holy Lenten devotion in offering your suggestions. For consideration, add your ideas in the comments section.
They also share something of the structure of the 2021 bracket, including all-new quadrant names. If you're worried about seeing the quadrants on a tiny bracket, you can get a giant bracket poster (for just $11!) just like the one Scott waves around in the video. Sounds like a lot of great content, right? Well, that's not even all of it. You might have heard that the Saintly Scorecard is sold out, and that rumor is true. The good news is that Tim and Scott are here to tell you how you can get the scorecard on your favorite e-reader, tablet, or phone.
There's more, but we need to keep you intrigued so you'll watch the full episode.
This is here for social media sharing. Also, you can tape it up to your wall and throw darts at it, if you like.

Holy Happy Hour (Arnulf/Vincent)
Courtroom Brawl (Jacopone v. Ives) - although being a lawyer seems like the least interesting fact about Jacopone. Wearing a saddle and crawling on all fours?
Cell block riot (Dunstan/Maryam)
I vote for Holy Happy Hour this well intoxicating!
Where can I write to ask permission to post Lent Madness daily emails (the day's saintly information and voting links) on our church's Facebook page? Or do you do that, and I can link it in Facebook to our page?
We post each battle to the Lent Madness Facebook page (in addition to our website and Twitter account) so feel free to share as needed!
For Evagrius vs. Euphrosyne I suggest Monk meets Monk,
and Isidora vs. Simeon "Fool"hardy fracas
No suggestions, I just wanted to say that I approve of alliteration. One guess why.
I propose Gamblers' Gambit
Camillus v Matthias = Gamble-Geddon (gambling/casting lots)
Isadora v Simeon = Meeting of the Mindless
Joan of Arc v Catherine Booth = Saintly Soldier Skirmish
Arnulf vs. Vincent - Specters of Spirits
The "Meat Up" (the Catherines)
The Great Pie Debate - Simple Sim(e)on
Structural Debate - Arc vs. Booth
The BiggiEs - (Evagrius vs. Euphrosyne)
Albert v Leo - The Great Opposition
Catherine v Catherine - The Kate Cate-er-waul
Or just The Kate-er-waul
Evagrius v Euphrosyne - Skirmish-O-Solitaires
(or Hydrophobe Harangue -- 'Gee, Euph, how come we never see you down at the ole swimmin' hole for a bath with the rest of us guys?')
Camillus v Matthias - Camillus Takes It To The Matt
Isidora v Simeon - The Crazy-Like-A-Fox Fracas (or Feud)
Nino of Georgia ("Caucasian Iberia") v Benedict the Moor is actually a super-unfortunate match up. Are you sure about that one? I'm sure the Saints can handle it, but can we...? (no, really)
March 10 Bologna vs Salami the battle of the sausage
February 24 Women's Smack Down
Or Sausage Smackdown on March 10
Is there some way for Hermione vs. Melangell to refer to the Harry Potter books? Something about a Patronus???
