Intro: Hello, and welcome. This is something I started with friends when Gamefaqs released its first Character voting tournament. I have never made it public, as I felt it lacked interest. However, after browsing these boards I see quite the contrary. Let me go over the rules:
VOTING RULES: - You can only vote once per battle. No alts/editing/deleting. - I have been counting a set number of votes up until now. Depending on how popular this is I may stick with 5 votes for a win or time cap it. - You vote for the character who you think would win in an actual fight, not popularity. Some imagination required. =) - There are 5 divisions each character is broken into. - Each tournament takes 16 random characters from each division and pits them together. - The divisions are: Grand, High, Mid, Low, and Pathetic. - Do not vote on battles where you do not know both characters. Just skip it.
HOW IT WORKS: - Every character's Win-Loss ratio, and division championships are recorded in a spreadsheet. - Using this data each character has an "overall" value that tells you what division they compete in. The value starts between 0-100. It can go over 100, but not below 0. - The characters move up and down this overall rating by winning or losing. Every win is 1 point, every loss is minus 1 point. This means if you don't like the division a favorite character of yours is in, all you have to do is vote for them to win.
For those curious, records and rosters will be posted during 1st rounds of next tournament. Also, you will be able to add characters to the already 500+ characters on the roster. Details in the final round voting.
