When five or fewer characters remain at the end of a round, the following round constitutes the start of the semifinals. Characters are placed into the semifinals based on their vote-shares in previous rounds. |
When five or fewer characters remain at the end of a round, the following round constitutes the start of the semifinals. Characters are placed into the semifinals based on their vote-shares in previous rounds. A character's ''vote-share'' for a match is defined to be the number of votes they got divided by the total number of votes in the match. Their ''average vote-share'' is the arithmetic mean of their vote-shares in matches prior to the semifinal. All matches are weighted equally, not by the number of votes. |
||
All semifinal and final matches are one-vs-one. Hence, the only tie-breaker rule that could come into effect is the rule that when the entire match is tied, the tournament organizer's vote is discarded. |
|||
Unlike all matches prior to the semifinals, each semifinal and final match lasts two weeks, except for the "third-place match" if applicable. |
|||
How exactly the semifinalists are placed depends on the number of semifinalists. Note that without tiebreakers, there will always be exactly four semifinalists. |
|||
====5 Semifinalists==== |
|||
The semifinalists with the 4<sup>th</sup> and 5<sup>th</sup> highest average vote-shares face off against each other in a "pre-semifinal" match. The loser is awarded 5<sup>th</sup> place and eliminated from the tournament. The tournament then proceeds as if there were only four semifinalists. |
|||
====4 Semifinalists==== |
|||
The semifinalists with the highest and 4<sup>th</sup> average vote-shares face each other in one match, and the characters with the 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> highest average vote-shares face each other in another semifinal match. |
|||
The losers of the two semifinals then face each other in a "third-place match." Unlike all other semifinals, the third place match lasts only one week. The loser is awarded 4<sup>th</sup> place while the winner is awarded 3<sup>rd</sup> place. |
|||
Finally, the winners of the semifinals face each other in a 2-week final match. |
|||
====3 Semifinalists==== |
|||
The semifinalists with the 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> highest average vote-shares face each other in a semifinal match. The loser is awarded third place and eliminated, while the winner faces the character with the highest average vote-share in the final. |
|||
====2 Semifinalists==== |
|||
The semifinals are unnecessary, and the only two "semifinalists" immediately face each other in the final match. |
