Just finished catching up, I very much support BOST being the fun and random sister contest to VGMC with its tradition and objectivity. I'm not picky with how we achieve that; as I understand it we could either randomize per game (Umineko gets 3-5-2-4-1-6, Shatter gets 2-1-5-6-4-3) or roll a contest-wide order when making the bracket (all games get 3-5-2-4-1-6). Both do away with the extra work of ordering your nomination setlist, which I like!

azuarc did mention the interesting idea of having setlists ordered by strength like last time, but also use the contest-wide random order - you'd get the consistency of all #3-strongest facing off in R1, all #5-strongest in R2, and so on. Personally I think full random is more fun and less work! We already use small setlists in the spirit of convenience over true objectivity, and having my #6 face someone's #1 is why there's a losers bracket right? Actually, I haven't considered how randomization would fit with double elimination but I'm sure it'll get figured out.
