User blog:Warriorfan123/Shipping Tournament!

Hello, lovely people!

So, since it's February, we decided to host a shipping bracket tournament... much like the one wikia does as a whole. However, this one will just be for the pairings on this wiki. You guys will nominate ships, and we'll go through bracket elimination rounds. It's going to be fun c:

Nominations
So- for nominations.

So this is fair, you guys will nominate the ships that we use. There are going to be twelve spots available, which is a reasonable number based on the amount of active users we have. However, I am willing to be flexible should the need arise- there's just more math to be worked out.

Each of you can nominate two ships individually. I will not be nominating. Just comment below with #1: [ship name] and #2: [ship name], in your comment. I will be accepting these until '''Feb 5th (2017). '''

Please try and nominate ships that involve other users- keep the number of self-ships to a minimum. This way, we can have more people involved.

Also, please nominate 'canon' or 'close-to canon' ships. Don't just throw two cats together out of the blue, because that takes the fun out of this. If your cats aren't mates but are 'in the works' of being a ship, you can nominate them. But don't just say this to nominate who you want. I'll know. I know everything.

Pretty obviously- don't nominate what someone else has nominated. And don't nominate a ship someone doesn't want you to.

Tournament

I will be assigning each pairing a random number. When I get all the nominations, I will put these random numbers into randomly generated pairings.

If I get twelve nominations, there will be six 'competitons' (between two ships) (1v2, 3v4, 5v6, 7v8, 9v10, 11v12) in the first round. There will be six winners from the first round.

In the second bracket, there will be three competitions (between two ships) (1v3, 5v7, 9v11). There will be three winners in the second round.

In the last bracket, there will be one competition between the three previous winners (1v5v9). There will be first, second, and third places. In this competition I'll hold my votes to break any ties.

I'll decide the dates of each bracket tournament- when voting is closed and opened- after I get the primary nominations. I might hold it off if war stuff needs to get moving.

More details coming soon... voting will be done likely using polls, but since you all know how to cheat, I'm going to reconsider.

If you have questions, please let me know. I'm rubbish at this whole organizing thing. Nominations 1.
