All three rounds happen within three hours (IIRC). I didn't want to be the one to slow down the sh*te all the way into Sunday, hence the mess with proxies.
I'm not sure why my history in tourneys has led everyone to think I'm only interested in 2 characters. I remember similar jabs in my other low meta tourney. I used upwards of 20 characters in my last tourney (delph's), ranging from low street to high meta. And only 2-3 were fanboy picks.
Besides, I have a 3rd pick after I take Spider-Man and Midnighter. That pick will blow everyone's minds.

that might be a very good idea! judges would only need to decide who the LOSER was. maybe just make it 3 days and 5 posts each or something.
that would be different AND fun. hmmm . . .
oh, and though there are only EIGHT posts allowed in rd1 matches, the semis will have 10 posts and finals 12 or until both agree they are done.

i'm still considering ways to deal with a 3-way tie. we could use a pt-format like in bats' tourney, but i wasn't a big fan of that. opening a poll to the forum is not something i like either. i'm open to suggestions. we could also simply table the discussion until it happens.thoughts?
A point system, tabulating a total vote count (similar to points, but no extra mechanic), or a tiebreak FFA are all possibilities. I agree that a poll should be the last option.

lol
that's TWO for the FFA idea.
all right, done. in the event a pool ends in a 3-way, all 3 will be placed in a single match. rules will be worked out in more detail in the following days as i consider the format further.
i like it though! 😂
