Now that I'm the primary host of the Board 8's Best Original Character contest (or B8BOC for short - a round-robin competition with original characters created by B8 users as its entrants), I figured we should have a proper results and discussion topic.

All matches from here on out will begin around 6 PM PT on the listed day. Note that we will be taking a brief break for Thanksgiving, and another one-day break near the end due to a prior commitment I have that day.

To explain: Pre-contest, Andy randomly sorted each character into one of three divisions. Division 1 ("BROWN") is comprised of Big Blob, Rayleigh, Obrov, Winona, and norenxaq. Division 2 ("MAYA") is comprised of Mary, Abigail, Yoshiki, and Atrocita. Finally, Division 3 ("MAST") is comprised of Marina, Artemis, Spirit, and Talirah.

From there, to quote Andy:

The division champions all move onto the final. The runners-up in each division will move on to the wild card division, where the winner of that will join the championship round.

The metric that matters most is votes. However, a character will gain additional votes for winning a match, that being 20% of the total votes in that match (rounded down). The character with the most votes at the end of their division wins it. The one with the second-most goes to the Wild Card. Additionally, there will be a vote-in round that will function sort of like a Save My, but with the one character with the most votes entering the Wild Card Division as well. This is being added because of the additional character.

The three Division winners and the Wild Card Division winner will all move on to a Championship match. The two with the most total votes across their matches in this Division will then face off in the final.

I'll update the standings in this topic every so often, in lieu of a spreadsheet. Stay tuned for those, as well as a link to today's match!
