Pandora's Tale Wiki:Pandora's Tale Volume 1 Character Tournament: Difference between revisions

===Motivation for the Rules===

The intent of these rules was to meet two simultaneous goals:

1)There should be a high probability that the strongest two candidates make it to the finals. A single-elimination tournament with 1-vs-1 matches was therefore undesirable, since the two most popular characters could be randomly paired against each other in the first round. The system I wrote allows multiple characters to advance in each match prior to the semifinals, and the fact that each voter can vote for multiple candidates reduces the likelihood that the front-runner will be eliminated due to vote-splitting.
