AriaOfBolo 02/13/24 3:37:58 PM #1:	User of the Year, with Pokemon. All of them. (at least, all 1025 that have a pokedex number, it seems easier to categorically ignore regions and forms and mega and dyna and all that) Extra rounds because that's a lot, (Seeded 2v2 after round 1, 3-way after the world cup) and somewhat generous with byes and wildcards, but otherwise as close to the traditional format as I can get it I feel like somebody did this already but maybe I made that up. No promises, just seeing what folks think! --- New name, new gender, same great Bolo flavor!

ZaziGuado 02/14/24 7:13:22 AM #26:	I would happily watch this from afar and maybe participate if enough Pokemon I was familiar with were involved in a day. As someone who ran a UotY-style contest, I don't envy the work ahead of you. But perhaps somebody more proficient in spreadsheets will have an easier time of it. It was a lot of fun though and I probably would've done another one by now if not for deciding to have a child. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. <cite>ZaziGuado posted [p:978835689] in Interest g...

AriaOfBolo 02/14/24 2:03:23 PM #28:	This won't start until early March, btw. And seriously, steal the bracket idea and snipe me if you wanna! So uh does anybody have a good source on the top 102 most popular pokemon, here or in general? I'm not finding many polls that are up to date and go past top 25-ish. I might just go full random rather than doing the #1 seed thing. Or do a playin. I don't want to eyeball it, as I'd have a very strong retro bias (and the OGs don't need any help running the table here, I'm sure :P) --- New name, new gender, same great Bolo flavor!
