Round Formats:

Round One (200 characters)
20 groups of 10 characters. Users vote by assigning +3, +2, +1, -1, -2, and -3 to characters. The bottom three placers from each group are eliminated.

Round Two (140 characters remain, 120 participate)
Winners of each group in Round One receive a bye in this round. Groups from Round One are randomly paired together and the characters from each group face off. Individual matchups are determined by finish in round one. 2v7, 3v6, and 4v5. Users vote by splitting five points between each character in each match. In essence, you are voting 5-0, 4-1, or 3-2. The losers of each match are eliminated.

Round Three (80 characters remain)
All characters participate in Round Three. Characters are randomly put into eight groups of ten characters. For each group, users vote by ranking them +10 to +1. The bottom five point getters are eliminated.

Round Four (40 characters remain)
Also known as the World Cup round. Characters are randomly drawn into ten groups of four characters. Each character faces the characters in their group round robin style. Users vote as they did in Round Two by splitting five points between the two characters in each match. Winning a match gives you +10 to your score. The bottom two in each group are eliminated.

Round Five (20 characters remain)
Also known as Boot and Immune. Characters are randomly drawn into two groups of ten. Each day users vote to boot one character and immune one character. The character with the most immunes at the end of the day moves on followed by the character with the most boots being eliminated. Boots and immunes are aggregate.

Round Six (10 characters remain)
Also known as the Golden Parcel round. Characters are randomly drawn into 1v1 matchups. Users vote by ranking each character participating in Round Six +10 to +1 once. Each day, however, users may award a golden parcel to a character of their choice which gives that character +5 to their score. The loser of each match is eliminated.

Round Seven (5 characters remain)
A nebulous round. This time I've decided to do a round robin format similar to the World Cup round. Each character faces each other once. For each day, users vote by splitting five points among the four users participating that day. However, both matches must receive at least one point. I'm open to tweaking this format as the contest rolls on if I figure out something more interesting (my original idea was using score differential to determine points so winners would get positive points and losers would get negative points, but that seems like it would snowball quickly, which maybe that kind of chaos would be interesting who knows that's why I'm keeping this open to change). The bottom two placers are eliminated.

Finals (3 characters remain)
Users vote by giving one character +1 and one character -1. The winner is Board 8's favorite video game character.
