You vote for A, B, C, D, or E off of the options listed in the opening post, and I tally them.

I'm sure beated is preferred but I would think as long as you play enough to get a good feel of the game

Played. Plenty of people haven't even beaten games they like. If you played a game and stopped because you didn't like it, it won't be held against you.

I mean are A and C votes combined in anyway? I just don't get how you can have a 1 on 1 tournament with 4 (the 5th is basically non-consequential) options.

--
Warning_Crazy

Uh. No. That is the point of the contest. Honor system! If you haven't played both games, you don't vote for A or B. The last three options are for those who feel like participating in some way even if they haven't played both games, and to hammer home the point of the contest. Only the votes cast in A or B will decide who wins.

...Actually, a thought occurred to me, what happens if we have a tie? Especially at low vote counts. Assuming every follows the honor system, unless one of the people voting felt it was basically a toss-up and wouldn't mind changing their vote in a tiebreaker, you could conceivably have an unbreakable tie. That, or an extremely extended tiebreaker as everyone hopes someone else who has played both games stumbles into the match after not voting previously.

The prospect strikes me as more hilarious than concerning, but it could legitimately be "problematic."

--
xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?
GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX

The thing about tiebreakers is that they're often vary vastly. It all depends on who's logged in at the time. In tran's contest the other day he ran a 1-hour tiebreaker that went 16-16 or something and tied. Then he run a tiebreaker tiebreaker that was first to 7 and one game won 7-2.

I'll probably just do that process, actually.

I might. The first round would have to be two matches a day though (I'm not running a 128-contestant 1 v 1 contest, I'm not sure I'd make it), and I'm not sure how that would effect results. Less people show up when more stuff is jammed into a topic title. 'Ocarina of Time vs. MC Kids' will get more votes than 'OoT/MC Kids; FFX/Crazy Bus'.
