On the .500 note, you have to remember now that OT wins do NOT equal 100% of possible points like last year. Because of this, I expect maybe 28 Contestants to return next year. |

If I recall, last years .500 rule was to full in in case the other Saimoe tournaments failed to fill slots with new blood...which they did. Basically getting four new (well three new and one repeater) girls from the various Saimoes instead of the 24 possible.

Suppose you have 48 contestants, from whom you wish to select 12. You have formed 6 groups of 8 contestants. You will allow each voters to select up to 2 contestants per group( 1 voter 2 votes ). Top 2 girls from each group advance to the main round. If you wish to have only 1 girl advance from each group, I don't think it is fair that each voter chooses up to 2, for this may allow the girl who might be chosen by the most people as their 2nd choice to advance over a girl who is the 1st choice to most number of voters. I think you should all ways keep the number of votes per voters smaller or equal to number of girls who will advance. So if you really want 12 girls from pool of 48 and want only one girl to advance from each group, this would mean forming 12 groups of 4 contestants, and I think you should allow each voter to select just ONE girl from each group, not two. If you think 12 groups is too large for preliminary, then go with 8 groups of 6 and allow 8 to advance for that round, or go with 6 groups of 8 and allow 6 to advance for that round. So, now, what would be the format I would have preferred for the nomination and prelim? Assuming we need 27 like this year, here is what I think would have been the best. 1. Nomination. Current system of selecting 48 is fine, for many reasons. Leave it as it is. 2. preliminary round 1 Form 6 groups of 8 contestants. Allow each voters to select up to 2 girls per group. Let the top 2 advance from each group, so 12 will enter the regular season from here, likely as the 4th tier, and 36 will go to prelim round 2 3. Prelim round 2 Form 6 groups of 6 contestants. Other wise 1 voter 2 votes, 2 advance per group format which is same as round 1. No need to make much change between round 1 and round 2. This will lessen any confusion as well. 12 will enter the regular season from here as 5th tier, 24 left for the final 3 spot. 4. Final Prelim Put all the remaining characters into one group. Let each voters choose up to 3 girls. The top 3 girls in receiving votes will advance to the regular round. This will probably will select the best 3 girls from the remaining 24. Now, I don't mind if everything I said above is ignored if and only if when only 1 girl is chosen from a group, voters can vote for only 1 girl from the group, not 2.

Eh, instead of jumbling all the posts together in a single thread and being confused, there's a forum for you to request picture changes (our official ISML forum), so you could post there.

Hmmm... from just a quick look...
Miko Rika Reimu Index? Deities Hanyuu Horo Nagi Some would probably want to include Haruhi in the deity section, but I've always wondered about that since she isn't even aware of her own true nature.

The list for worship gets too long if one expand it to fanboy-isms...and would hold at least half of the girls in this tournament on its roster. Might as well stay with in story for the shorter lists.
