LOS ANGELES—GameLink.com on Thursday launched its 2017 Porn Star Madness tournament. The promotion features college basketball-style brackets, pitting porn stars against one another for a $500 grand prize and the chance to earn the title of world’s top porn star.
This year, reigning champion Casey Calvert will go for her second straight crown, despite a field that includes 2017 AVN Female Performer of the Year Adriana Chechik and 2016 AVN Best New Starlet Abella Danger.
Pornstar Madness runs from March 16 to April 1, with 16 starlets. During four unique rounds, performers receiving the most fan votes advance until there is only one remaining. To vote and learn more about Porn Star Madness, click here.
