What are your preferences should this happen again




FINAL MATCH RESULTS
Community - 2
The Rehearsal - 6

I have a lot of fun running these. Super low stress, a good time, and fairly easy to run means I definitely want to run it more. However, it did seem to peter out a lot in the later rounds after there was a lot more interest earlier on, with the finals being by far the least voted on match.

So what do you guys suggest for continuing this?

  • Do you like the 64-entrant bracket? Or would you prefer going back to 32?
  • Do you have suggestions for future initial subjects, or individual rounds, or both? I might take some suggestions, I might mix them in with my own or other people's, might just let a RNG decide what goes with what (assuming it makes sense). Feel free to PM me with suggestions for future rounds to avoid spoiling anything.
  • Any other suggestions for running this? Comments, concerns, etc.?

I think it could be better if each round had multiple themes/prompts. Like perhaps an entrant would have to win the best 2 out of 3 to move on (this would probably then necessitate a smaller bracket), or maybe each day can have a different prompt. I just think more variety would've kept it more interesting.

Or perhaps another idea could be to pick a few options for each round, and then let the users vote on which prompt will be used.

I think a mixed multimedia bracket would be a ton of fun, and also to have a round full of 1-shot nominees (where voters can nominate anything and it gets in with automatically) where the winner moves on to the actual bracket. Not sure about individual questions however.

Well the thing is, it was round 1 that had the most response and discussion by a good bit, while the later rounds where it was changing daily didn't get much in the way of votes or even comments. I'd like to think the issue wasn't variety since that's kind of the whole basis of the game to begin with

Mixed multimedia is definitely something I've considered (though of course it's a little trickier to have prompts for those)

Not sure what you mean by the 1-shot nominees, everything already got in automatically when nominated

I wasn't the biggest fan of the prompts.

Bracketeering is about getting really funny results when the name of a video game becomes the catchphrase of a supervillain.

This was less incidentally funny.
