Rules for the contest:
1. In this contest, you only vote for a game if you’ve played both games in its’ match. Both games. This is important.
2. You have to have played them yourself, physically. Reading a Let’s Play is not playing. Watching your
friend or youtube is not playing. Disliking a genre is not playing. Playing the prequel/sequel is not playing. You’re the judge of how long you need to play a game before it’s fair to vote, but you probably shouldn’t be voting for/against a 40-hour RPG if you’ve played the first 5 minutes.
3. All ports & remakes are grouped together. You can vote for RBY if you’ve only played FireRed.
4. Please vote honestly. There are plenty of contests where you can vote any way you want. The entire purpose of this contest is ruined if people don’t honor the honor system.
5. In the event of a tiebreaker, the game with less C/D votes moves on.
6. One vote per person. Rallying is allowed if the people rallied also vote fairly and by the rules. Whichever game has more votes from people who have played both games (i.e. Choice A vs. Choice B) moves on. Matches last 24 hours.
7. If a game has been played by less than 8 people, it is auto-eliminated.

Match template:
