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.
