Bad timing for Endwalker, for sure. XIV has a bunch of representation at least! Maybe I should've pushed this contest back a few weeks, I also kinda fear that FFV Pixel's imminent release might contain a godly mix of Big Bridge that we can't use >_>

Phew, I've finally finished preliminary seeding. Next step is to pop everything into a bracket! I'm using bracketmaker and I think I'll make two 64 brackets on there, I don't like how the big 128 bracket looks with everything on the left, bleh.

For the record, the seeding is based entirely on nominations. Here's the priorities I used, in order:

1. # of total nominations (more noms = higher seed, obviously)
2. # of unique users nominating (fewer doubles = higher seed)
3. # of trades used for that track (fewer trades = higher seed)
4. The time a track first reached its final nomination count (earlier = higher seed)

If there was still a tie between tracks after that, I went back to the previous nomination to see which track got there first, as many times as needed. After all this, there was exactly one tie where two songs were nominated 4 times, in exactly the same posts each time. I couldn't think of a breaker for that so I had a randomiser pick!

This has resulted in some wild seedings, some tracks are definitely way over/underseeded in terms of how popular they are lol. I might move things around a little to setup some fun matchups (not enough to change a track's seed number), but I probs won't interfere with it much. Enjoy the ridiculousness that is to come!

Also: lefty has suggested I drop the 'Best' from the contest title, and making this the 'Final Fantasy Music Contest (FFMC)' instead. Thoughts on this? Which do you all prefer?

Also if I am gonna change this I'd like to do it early, so before TBs end.
