It’s mid-March.  That means it’s tournament time.  The fashion world is on the verge of madness, eager to learn which problem will emerge victoriously in the 2010 Inspiration for Intimates Tournament and be recognized as this year’s number one reason that women buy intimate apparel.

As you know, hundreds of causes vie for the chance to be part of this field each year.  The tournament selection committee, as always, had a difficult job minimizing the number to sixty-four.  But early Sunday evening, they did just that.  It’s noteworthy that only fourteen of the Preseason Top 25 reasons ended the season by making it to the dance.

Of course, there were some surprises regarding which factors squeezed into the field and which ones were left out, the latter settling instead for invitations to the less-prestigious Need for Intimates Tournament (N.I.T.).  Among those whose bubbles burst were “Skin’s Too Loose,” “Need Back Support,” and “Want To Prevent Over-Eating.”  On the other hand, few anticipated that “Each Cup Fits Differently,” “Bust Too Small,” or “Extra Layer For Winter Warmth” would make it in.   They were three of the twenty at-large selections.  The committee also awarded eight at-medium and six at-XL births, with thirty automatic bids going to the winners of conference tournaments including those of the Big Ten, the Big Twelve, the Big Sky, the Big East, the Big South, and the Big West.

Which problem were you trying to address the last time you purchased a bra or shapewear?

And how are the regions stacked?  It appears that the Body Challenge Region is this year’s toughest grouping, containing the likes of “Backside Too Big,” “Tush Too Saggy,” and “Hips Too Big,” followed closely by the Problem with Shapewear Already Owned Region.  And while the Fashion Demand Region has produced the last three national champions, few think this year’s winner will emerge from there.  The most evenly-balanced of the four, the Problem with Bras Already Owned Region, has many solid causes, but none that finished the season in an overly impressive manner.

So who do the experts like?  Certainly, the top seeds in each region, “Big Tummy,” “Insufficient Everyday Support,” “Want To Look Like I’ve Lost Weight,” and “Compression Is Uncomfortable” are the obvious picks to make it to the tourney’s Flabby Four.  But don’t rule out “Visible Panty Lines” or “Creates Muffin Tops”; both seem a lock to make it as far as the Slim Sixteen and at least one is likely to reach the Elastic Eight.  Las Vegas insiders have tapped “Thighs Rub Together” as this year’s dark-horse, sentimental favorite.

It’s time to find a pencil and get ready for your office, neighborhood, or online pool.  The competition begins on Thursday.  Here are this year’s tournament bra-ckets.
