sweeeet we still got 3 more tourneys to go the Amazon one was really fun I cant wait!
Just a note that I forgot to tell you 7jaws - I want to say my first tournament was actually 2007, and then I missed a year so the next one was 2009. I am not 100% certain on this fact though - my records keeping for stuff back then wasn't what it is today. Date doesn't really matter, it's just a point of interest I thought I'd mention.

Bwahaha, Saber, the first solo winner in the Amazons of Anime Tourney, take that!! This was a great idea as well, it's cool seeing who/what series took each year as I wasn't around for any of the earlier tourney's.

Wait no villains tourney?!?! oh no!!! how come D: i mean if its because of the guy not being able to do it ill fine with doing it
villain tourney looks awesome
Lucky only shows up occasionally since we moved to these new forums, but after the major site update (which will hopefully include user polls
) I'm confident he'll make a full time return. So no event this year, but thanks for offering.
If the site updates improves things (especially the speed) here, then yes I will gladly come back and prepare another Villains tournament.

Great thread! Ahh the memories... I'm lucky to have participated in nearly all of these and all of them did something or another to my fandom.
Please participate in the Shohan USA Anime themes tournament!
Round 2 Has just started!!

Make sure to get your opinion heard!!
Just curious but how are the brackets determined? Is it up to the tournament "director" to decide who enters the tournament or will there be a way for multiple people to suggest characters, VAs, villians, or what ever the case may be. I was just curious. The VA tourney has been fun and I can't wait for the best character tourney as well! Thanks to all the people that put these together, I have neither the organization skills or patience to run one my self lol
"Big Brother Is Watching YOU!" Nothing like an Orwell quote to brighten your day ;P
It more or less varies depending on who's running the tournament, yeah. While I'd love to do a user suggestion tournament eventually, and may yet, that's where my patience and organization skills would crap out too - trying to calculate all the names someone has suggested and so on.
As for how 7jaws does it, we'll have to wait to see what he reveals to us.
