The "Best Episode Tournament" of The Office started as a way to evaluate episodes based on the cold open, story content and progression, and humor. After I collected the first six seasons on DVD, I decided to put all of the episodes into a random order and have a "tournament".
Since there are 116 episodes in the first 6 seasons, 12 episodes had to receive a "first round bye" in the tournament in order for it to equal a tru 128-team tournament.
Each episode will face another and will be judged by the cold open, story content and progression, and humor. The episode with the higher score will move on to the next round. If there is an episode without a cold open, the other episode's cold open will not be judged.
128 episodes will be cut in half to 64. Those 64 will be cut in half again to 32. This process is repeated until we are left with 1 episode. This episode, which I predict to be "Niagara", will then stand alone as the greatest episode of The Office ever.
Scores will be kept for all seasons, and at the end of the tournament, each season will receive a ranking 1 (being the best) through 6 (being the worst).
