I think the most interesting thing about my rankings this year is the sheer number of 7/10s haha. Nearly 2/3 of the round 3 field. Given that 7/10 is decidedly above average, that's not a bad thing at all! Though, the songs I typically give supports to and thus I'd tend to want as retirees are in the 8+/10 range, so decent chance that the retirees will be a little underwhelming. My votes for the start of round 4 both won though, including my pick for A1 retiree, so that's a nice start! No 9/10s either! This is the first year since I started participating back in VGMC13 that this happened. I suppose I'm fortunate to be in a position where now is the first time that this has happened though. Maybe I'm just being a little picky, I don't know.

Retirees and the eventual champion may end up being less than ideal, but there's at least a decently good field remaining. With these odds, the chances of me really not liking the results aren't very high.
