Sinn & Skinn Hosts 2nd Annual Porn Star March Madness Tournament

CHICAGO, IL—Uncensored news blog Sinn & Skinn released their second annual Porn Star March Madness tournament brackets on Sunday. The NCAA-style tournament seeds the top 64 active porn stars in a head-to-head, interactive Twitter-based competition to determine one porn star national champion. Porn stars will advance through the tournament to the Sexy 16, the Erotic 8, and the Fantasy Four, for a final showdown of the hottest four porn stars. The winner will receive a championship trophy, t-shirt and $500 cash. About the tournament, Sean Sinn, CEO of Sinn & Skinn, said, "We love porn stars. And we love competition. So we wanted to give porn stars and their fans the opportunity to interact with each other and better appreciate who's who in porn today." The tournament includes some of the biggest names and freshest faces in adult entertainment, including Riley Reid, Dillion Harper, Nikki Benz, Tasha Reign, Alexis Texas, Kendra Lust,  Alex Grey, Kleio Valentien, Cameron Canela and even Tila Tequila. The first 1-34 selection seeds were based upon PornHub.com's porn star popularity rankings over the prior month's statistics. The last 35-64 seeds were based upon a combination of rankings, social media popularity, and editorial discretion. Regional seeds were based on several factors, including ranking statistics, location, matchups, and other factors. Retired porn stars were not eligible to compete. The Selection Sunday announcements saw a lot of reaction on Twitter, as both fans and porn stars expressed their opinions about the seeds, matchups and about who did not make the tournament this year.  One fan tweeted, "while AugustAmesxxx and @Romi_Rain are a sure bet, west with #KissaSins #KendraLust #Abella_Danger @AsaAkira and more is [bananas]," with another fan tweeting, "@adrianachechik She was on the bubble? Even Dick Vitale would lose his mind about this snub. Chechik is a prime-timer." Camera Canela, a Cinderella seed, was excited, saying, "Didn't even know about this but how dope! #stillcantbelievethisishappening #blessed." Katrina Jade, who was not seeded in the tournament, said "themysticajadex cant get @FreeOnes to fix my f***ing profile or @sinnandskinn to put me in a bracket over tila tequila but i try." The matchups will be determined by the total number of Twitter retweets and favorites of four potential tweets, two from Sinn & Skinn and one from each porn star in the matchup. The porn star who receives the most retweets and favorites will advance to the next round. Tweets will be released on each scheduled day starting at 11 a.m. EST and will begin to close at 8 p.m. (any ties will be extended for 1 hour overtime). So fans can expect some interesting and memorable tweets from theirx favorite porn stars. When asked about why the tournament was based on the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, Sean Sinn replied, "It's March Madness. We want it to be about #PornStarMadness. It's so much fun. It's a lot more fun than any tournament that I've seen. How many times do you see people going crazy like this?" The competition officially begins on March 17, 2016.  Fans can download brackets at blog.sinnandskinn.com, print and fill them out, and either tweet them to @sinnandskinn on Twitter or email them to brackets@sinnandskinn.com.
