Board 8 > ~*~ Movie of the Year 2011 ~*~ -- MYSTERY Round --

(+) Yeah! (+)

--SURPRISE BEST PICTURE ROUND--

What better way to crown the final three than the current way to calculate the Best Picture at the Oscars? The system is called preferential voting and works like this:

Voters rank their choices in order of preference (1, 2, 3, etc.). If no movie is the first choice of a majority [50% + 1], the film with the least first-choice votes is eliminated and the second choices of those voters are distributed. This process continues until we have a winner over the 50% mark, ensuring a majority consensus winner.

However, we're not crowning just one winner today. We need to get rid of two. So we're actually going to do this backwards. At the end of the day, if a single movie is the last choice of the majority, it will be eliminated. If not, the movie with the MOST 1st place votes is safe and all votes for that movie are removed. This process will continue until two movies are eliminated or three are safe. Let's crown the final three. And feel free to ask for more explanations on this voting system.

RotK lost on a golden parcel tiebreaker...shame, but at least it didn't lose to garbage, quite the opposite in fact.

ATTN: ALL

I did not mention the tiebreaker for the GP round and have thus allowed Return of the King to join the fray. Round still ends at the same time but those who have voted must now place The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King somewhere in their ranking or I will not count their votes.

I kind of feel if RotK goes on at this point, then it will probably sham the contest <_> ... you should just stick to your guns, but whatever.

The problem is I looked for a tiebreaker that would benefit Star Wars thinking that was the standard tiebreaker. However, there isn't any standard one and I never said what it was. The only time one was used before was to REMOVE the GP votes and look at raw numbers which Return of the King would have won in this case.
