[ape2020]

The Girls Team Series Championships or G.T.S.C. for short. As just finished up the first exciting round! Now with the scores in the leaders look to pull away in the second round and the bottom feeders look to recover. Inbetween some teams will either close the gaps or fall hopelessly behind.

Tomboy: A girl who behaves according to the stereotypical gender role of a boy. Usually this includes appearance of hair and clothing, but not always.

This game will be run with the same basic format of the Boys Of Summer Tourney.

Basic Rules of the game:
1. Announce players banned form being drafted, pool finalists from the previous tourney for the following tourney. None this time.

2. Five day open sign up for up to 20 teams first date and time announce in advance for first come first in (need to be even number of coaches).

3. Announce six possible archetypes (to be determine by me with suggestions from the peanut gallery).

4. Determine draft order and set it up in snaking order (to be setup randomly by me).

5. Five rounds of drafting with each coach given 24 hours to pick (missed picks going to the penalty round at the end of the draft).

6. Once drafting is done reveal the four archetypes that will be used in the tourney.

7. All coaches will PM me which of their five players will go to which pool (all coaches given 48 hours to get their assignments in).

8. Going to pool play each player will have three contests 4 days long (contest will be open polls but voters must vote before seeing the results).

9. Points will be scored from the percentage of each poll they are in and added to their respective teams (There will no longer be any Mini Face Offs ties will be left ties).

10. The top scoring 4 players in each pool will go onto the pool finals (going by record, then points, then overall votes recieved).

11. Pool finals will be closed polls so no one will know the results until the poll is over (I will do them all at once)

Please if you have any comments, questions, or suggetions not directly related to the draft picks please post them here.

How a MILF category? although I assume all the potential archtypes could be just an twist of all the archtypes that were in the boy tourney....

He might decide on a few different categories in the end, but I do have the Newtype issue from January 2003 that features the six main types of female characters in anime.

Those types listed in that article:
<ul type="square"> Girl Next Door
Tomboy
Maiden
Older Woman (MILF would fall in here if these six would be used)
Child
Alien (Would also include non-Japanese characters if the series setting is in Japan)[/list]

I'll play. My team name is The Steve Irwin Memorial Squad. I just hope I don't disgrace his memory.

[Victor Lewandowski]

I'll play. "End of the World" keeps ringing in my head for a team name, so I'll go with that for my team name. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

[Lumberjack]

I'll play. I'll come up with a name later.

[Spirit Of The Stage]

Sure, I'll play as well. Name...er...

*thinks well after lack of sleep*

Team Chibivision ...:) Yep, lack of sleep and early mornings of Chucklevision do wonders to a Brit's mind...and not a good wonder either...

[TnAdct1]

I see that Spirit of the Stage is entering this event.

Anyways, add another team to the group, as I'm planning to enter as The Clinton Valley Book Club (name refers to an idea for a team idea that that I have for the "New Year's Challenge" that's an annual event on an anime newsgroups that I read.

[ibby]

I wouldn't mind playing and will give my team name at a later date.

[Jimmie M]

Sign me up! /images/graemlins/happy.gif Maybe I'll do better with an all-female team this time.

Team name: Bokuto Social Club

Today and probably tomorrow, we could blame on the holiday. If it gets to Friday and we still don't have 20 coaches, I'll be shocked.

I've never done this before, but what the hell. It should be fun.

If possible I'd like my team name to be "Team Venture."

Sorta a different spin on the anime draft where you try to "draft" a team of female characters that will get you the most points.

But there are some twists in that you will only be able to send one of your "players" to each archetype pool.

Too make things even more interesting is that before you draft six possible archetypes will be revealed, but only four of them will be used.

So each coach will have to draft five female characters that either best fit a certain archetype or cover more then one type.

Then when all the drafting is done two of the possible archetypes will be eliminated.

Each coach will then send one of their players to each of the remaining four pools.

They will go one on one with other players from other teams in polls getting three contest to score the most points.

Note that each pool has a certain archetype like say Psycho and a somewhat vague discription if the type is given.

So the most popular character is not sure to win like Dilandau Albatou winning the Psycho pool.

Of course not all your characters need to win for your team to win. Just score enough points to keep you close and get maybe one of your other team members into a pool final.

Hope that helps.

[ape2020]

Okay to make sure things keep moving I will be revealing the possible archetypes today. Still signing up coaches but I thought it would be best to do this so I can quickly go into drafting once the deadline comes up.

Mature, Tomboy, Inhuman, Wallflower, Angelic, &amp; Devilish are the six possible archetypes pools so keep that in mind when drafting. Warning these are only the possible archetypes and only four of them will be used in the actual tourney.

Note talk about the six all you want but you may want to avoid giving away too many picks unless your baiting each other. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

<font color="red">Warning! Warning! These will only be guidelines and coaches (and voters) may take them as they will.</font>

Mature: Referring to either chronological or mental maturity of this female. This archetype can either be older then the typical anime character or acts much older then her years.

Tomboy: A girl who behaves according to the stereotypical gender role of a boy. Usually this includes appearance of hair and clothing, but not always.

Inhuman: Whether in mind, body, or spirit this girl is not quite human. Aliens, demon, beast, or artificial are all examples. This archetype can also include those that act without compunction or human feeling.

Wallflower: Shy girls with a low self esteem are typical of this archetype. They tend not participate in activities at a social event because of fear or unpopularity.

Angelic: A girl that is known for their sweet nature and kindness toward others. Willing to sacrifice her own well being to help others and is consider the epitome of goodness.

Devilish: A girl whose shows great cunning or wickedness in getting what they want. Especially delights in teasing and provoking others around them.

Well we at least have 12 coaches the same as the BOS and in the new format all I need is an even number. But I would like to see a higher number to make the draft portion even more heated. So anyone else out there want to play?

-chimp1010

I'm not sure as to when it will begin (I would assume sometime this weekend or sometime next week), but once registration is closed, a random draft order will be made and then the first player will be on the clock. He or she will have 24 hours to make a pick and once their pick is made, the next person in the draft order will have 24 hours.

For example, if you draft first and you make your pick at 10:00 in the morning and I draft after you, then I'll have until 10:00 the following morning to make my pick.

Yes the draft will start Sunday morning 12:01am PST, but the actual draft order will be revealed Saturday morning. The actual draft might start earlier as soon as the first drafter wants to go, but the clock won't start until Sunday.

It seems 24 hrs is a good amount of time and I try my best to PM each coach as soon as they are on the clock. Plus if you wish and your pick is very close you could PM me with a list of characters you wish to draft. Some did that in the Boys Of Summer tourney. Of course there is the last resort and your pick gets pushed to the penalty round, but it hasn't got to that point so far. /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif

One pick per round, right? So... If I get this straight, we could potentially run throught the draft fairly quickly, of, if we had 20 coaches, and 5 rounds, it could take 2400 hours? I hope that this doesn't take 100 days!

Or does a coach pick all 5 players at once? That could still draw it out to 20 days... I certainly want to be fair to everyone, and understand that there are members of the forum that don't live in the western hemisphere...

Since this is not the first time this has been done, I'll let you guys be the judges on how to do this. I'm just along for the ride.

Well the Anime Draft that traditionally has 20 players and ten rounds took I believe five days to get through a round and the BOS with just 12 coaches took about 2-4 days. But others like Victor could most likely answer your question better. I do know there will be times picks will whiz by and other times a coach is away for almost the full period. Usually you can get a guessimate and be ready for when your pick comes up. I'm shooting to have the whole GTSC done in a month and half.

Looking at the BOS draft thread, we started on 6/4 and ended on 6/13. So, it took 10 days to make all 60 picks.

Only one round took over five days to complete in the 2006 Anime Draft (Round 7 - 5 days, 3 hours, 54 minutes). Rounds 3 and 5 each took over four days to complete. The rounds in that draft averaged about 3 1/2 days per round with 20 players. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

I kept track of time during the 2006 Anime Draft, and the last two VA Drafts I was in. I didn't bother tracking times for the Boys of Summer Tourney during the drafting phase.

[Spirit Of The Stage]

1. Which archetype looks to be the hardest to draft for?
Personally for me, the hardest is mature, as it's a choice of using an obvious older character, or someone younger who is wise beyond her years...the others seem more straight forward, albeit inhuman is similar due to either someone not human either physically...or emotionally.

2. Which looks the riskiest one to draft.
Inhuman again - it's hard to see if it defines a person who is not human in body or in spirit.

3. Which looks to be the easiest to draft.
Angelic for me - I've got several characters in mind for that spot (albeit only a couple I want to use due to them also being able to fit other spots)

4. Which archetype looks like it will be the most competitive?
Wallflower I'd say - Ironically with all the shy girls in anime this could be the most competitive...

5. Whick looks to be the least competitive?
Devilish or Tomboy - I just get the feeling if you hit one character that defines it to a tee it's all over.

6. Which archetype has the sharpest description?
Tomboy - Pretty straight forward.

7. Which archetype has the loosiest description?
The rest. /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif Nah, seriously again it's Inhuman for me.

8. Which archetype looks the most interesting?
Angelic - Mainly because there are obvious characters out there that definite it both physically in ways, but others which aren't so obvious but yet fits the characterization in the notes perfectly, but just not so obvious. It's up to the coaches to make sure people realise that and get the votes in.

9. Which archetype looks the most boring?
None - they're all evil! /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

10. Which archetype you wish was included?
Energetic - Genki characters are a pound a penny but with a description on the lines of 'Someone who never gives up no matter what the circumstances arise' could give food for thought and bring some interesting battles.

Still, this types are all difficult as I bring in a final list (and pray no-one takes a few of the characters I set up early) - gah, I'm getting old, (26 next week) my brain is melting...

Mature is actually pretty straight forward, but there are not a lot of mature women that are primary characters in anime. Lots of secondary characters, and I think there are some pretty popular ones. Those will most certainly go early in the draft! Inhuman will be interesting to see what direction the majority coaches will go, either inhuman physically, or emotionally void. But, inhuman will be easy for me.

I'd say that there are some obvious choices for Wallflower that would will ensure that the pretty much clear the boards. Devilish or Tomboy will be more competitive, as there are a larger pool of very popular characters to choose from. Wallflower has a lot of characters that fit in this category, and a lot of popular ones, but there is only one or two that are far and above the most popular, and guaranty a win for the team.

Again, for me, there is one or two characters here that define the archetype, and are extremely high in popularity. If one of these two go early in the draft, a win in this category is all but certain for the team.

Genki would be interesting too. I think this would be a very difficult and close battle, as there are lots of characters in this category, and I'm at a loss for a clearly most popular one.

Just a young puppy.

While I'm sure that there are characters that would make up a winning team, I'm actually going my own direction. Hopefully all my picks will do their best in the individual competitions, but as long as they do their best, that's all I can ask for.

[Victor Lewandowski]

1. Which archetype looks to be the hardest to draft for?
For me, I would think that Wallflower is going to be the hardest one to draft for. I have a few people in mind, but I can see some that would own this category and blow everyone away. /images/graemlins/shy10000.gif

2. Which looks the riskiest one to draft.
Devilish would be the riskiest here. Again I see a few girls that would own this category.

3. Which looks to be the easiest to draft.
Tomboy

4. Which archetype looks like it will be the most competitive?
I can see several of the categories being competitive, but if I had to choose one, it would be Angelic. Lots of leads to pit against each other here. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

5. Whick looks to be the least competitive?
Wallflower because if certain girls get drafted, it's game over before the voting even starts. /images/graemlins/knowital.gif

6. Which archetype has the sharpest description?
Tomboy

7. Which archetype has the loosiest description?
Inhuman

8. Which archetype looks the most interesting?
Mature looks the most interesting because of the direction that coaches may decide to go with their picks. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

9. Which archetype looks the most boring?
Wallflower

10. Which archetype you wish was included?
Hentai - (character must be from a hentai series) Imagining final battle between Miko Mido and Rika Kitami.

[XenoCrisis0153]

1. Which archetype looks to be the hardest to draft for?
&gt;&gt;Devilish... I don't know too many bad-girls, heehee

2. Which looks the riskiest one to draft.
&gt;&gt;I don't know what you mean by "riskiest," but I'll say Mature anyway

3. Which looks to be the easiest to draft.
&gt;&gt;surprisingly enough, it was Tomboy

4. Which archetype looks like it will be the most competitive?
&gt;&gt;Inhuman... so many cute anime girls are robots, aliens, demons, etc

5. Whick looks to be the least competitive?
&gt;&gt;couldn't tell ya

6. Which archetype has the sharpest description?
&gt;&gt;Mature

7. Which archetype has the loosiest description?
&gt;&gt;Angelic

8. Which archetype looks the most interesting?
&gt;&gt;Angelic

9. Which archetype looks the most boring?
&gt;&gt;Wallflower, but I like it anyways ;D

10. Which archetype you wish was included?
&gt;&gt;hmmmmm, oh I know... Maids!! or maybe Girls With Glasses, haha


Some questions
- can we pick ANY anime girl regardless of whether or not it's licensed? I mean, yeah picking titles people are more familiar might help us in the long-run, but I'm hoping we're not limited
- how big can the images be?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think Chimp will confirm this, but I think the answer is you can enter any anime girl if thye Boy's Tournament was any indication, which included the then unlicenced Lahrll from Disgaea and a couple of others I think.

Images? Not sure what you mean but if you mean images of characters, if this goes the same way of the boys tournaments that will be sorted out by PDF files if I remember...if Chimp can clarify this (I'm just assuming here) that would be great.

[ape2020]

Some questions

<font color="blue">Your not limited by anything just that they were in an animated show from Japan, South Korea, or even China. But of course there is risk involve with taking unlicensed characters. Then again depending on how much you campaign for your team might change this.

Oh and don't think title or leading characters are the only ones that can be competitive. The archetypes can give supporting characters and villians a good chance as any. Plus this time we will be doing round robin instead of single elimation.</font>

- how big can the images be?

<font color="blue">Images can be any size you want if your posting them. If you PM me the image then I will be cropping them to fit into a PDF file and upload to some space I have. Again it doesn't really matter as I have plenty of room and the more detailed the better to zoom in.</font>

Now if some one wants to do some nice page with all the pools and rounds well thats great too. Right now I don't have the skillz and time to really do that myself.

Remember two of the possible six archetypes will be dropped and you only get five picks. This means you might have to take a risk on one of the archetypes being picked or not picked. In the BOS a few got burned with the Youthful, Ecchi, and Psycho archetypes.

oh ok, I get it

thanks for answering my questions so quickly, guys

::waits anxiously for draft order announcement::

[Azumangaman]

1.Which Archetype looks to be the hardest to draft for?
&gt;I guess Devilish. That's the only one where a character doesn't instantly spring up in my head (although I must admit, these are more difficult than the BOS tourney)

2. *I don't get the question*

3.Which looks to be the easiest to draft
&gt;Inhuman or Angelic

4.Which Archetype looks like it will be the most competitive?
&gt;Mature. Many people watch fan-service ladden shows, so it'll give them an advantage.

5. Which looks to be the least competitive
&gt;Probably Wallflower, because there's only one person I can think of who could just win the category. Nobody else comes to mind.

6.Which archetype has the sharpest description?
Inhuman and Tomboy both have very good descriptions.

7. Which archetype has the loosest description?
I dunno...they're all well described, IMO.

8. Which archetype looks the most interesting?
Inhuman

9. Which archetype looks the most boring?
Wallflower

10. Which archetype do you wish was included?
CHILD!(chiyo!!!)
A ditz/moron category would be even better, because there IS a character stupider than Osaka!

[Splitter]

1. Which archetype looks to be the hardest to draft for?

Angelic. I've got a few in mind, but it's such a loose generalization, especially since most really nice girls in anime can have some really sinister motives.

2. Which looks the riskiest one to draft.

Inhuman, such a vague, vague description. The good news though, is right now, all the girls I plan to draft would fit the bill quite well.

3. Which looks to be the easiest to draft.

Inhuman. "Normal" and "anime" seldom mix.

4. Which archetype looks like it will be the most competitive?

Wallflower. The shy girls are always the most talked about and usually the most liked.

5. Whick looks to be the least competitive?

Tomboy. Someone's just gonna nail this one on the head and ruin it for the rest of us, I'm sure... hope it's me ^^

6. Which archetype has the sharpest description?

Wallflower. Shy, quiet, introverted... no ambiguity whatsoever.

7. Which archetype has the loosiest description?

Inhuman. If it can be in body, mind, or spirit... well, that just opens the floodgates to nearly anyone.

8. Which archetype looks the most interesting?

Mature. Because the descriptions are sharp, they vary, and finding the right balance will be difficult.

9. Which archetype looks the most boring?

Inhuman. Because (again), there's pretty much no limits.

10. Which archetype you wish was included?

Loli. Survival of the cutest.

[TnAdct1]

1. Which archetype looks to be the hardest to draft for?

For me, that has to be Mature. Not only is it hard for me to find “mature” girls given my interest in comical anime, but also there’s the challenge of finding another category to fit the “mature” girl in case “mature” doesn’t turn up as a category.

2. Which looks the riskiest one to draft.

I have to go with Angelic, as one person’s idea of an Angelic character could be different to another person’s idea.

3. Which looks to be the easiest to draft.

To me, the easiest would be Wallflower, as I am very familiar with a lot of girls that could be considered “wallflowers”. Other ones that would be easy to choose would be Devilish and Inhuman.

4. Which archetype looks like it will be the most competitive?

I can definitely see Devilish as a category that will be the most competitive because a lot of the more “interesting” girls fall in this category.

5. Whick looks to be the least competitive?

Something tells me that it’s going to be either Wallflower or Mature.

6. Which archetype has the sharpest description?

Definitely Wallflower, given how this category seems to be the definite category for shy, mousy girls.

7. Which archetype has the loosiest description?

Definitely Inhuman, considering how it could refer to a girl with superhuman powers or a girl who is literally not human (i.e. an android)

8. Which archetype looks the most interesting?

As I mentioned in question 4, the more “interesting” girls will most likely be in the Devilish category.

9. Which archetype looks the most boring?

Personally, I don’t think Mature will be that interesting, but it may change once the draft begins.

10. Which archetype you wish was included?

I would have liked to have seen a archetype for characters that act childish.

Yah I found it on some non-English site after a long search. First I had to make sure I had the right character then find a decent pic. Actually found two one with her on the beach with a tied up shirt, but I thought the other pic better fit the discription of her better.

But at least it was far easier then Victor's Jun of Darling character he drafted. Male characters from a lesser known hentai title of a show I didn't personally own (but want) equal a shitty pic in my opinion. I really try to get a good pic with unique or flattering poses. So I try really hard for that perfect pic.

I tried to keep the layout for the draft board similar to the one that was used for the anime draft this year. From what I remember, a lot of the players there liked that layout.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears, but keep in mind, I can only do what Microsoft Frontpage lets me, since that is the software that I used for it (my "skills" are very minimal).

[ape2020]

Okay I thought I should get some opinions on this before its too late. While I'm leaning in a certain direction I would like to take input first.

Do you all want the matches up for the players revealed for all three rounds at once or round by round?

All at once: Would be sorta more like real sports tournments. If the coaches are so inclined can plan a campaign for those contests they think they can score the most in or try to promote the underdog position to squeeze some points there and maybe a win.

Round by round: Closer to the single elimation style known for around here. Has a greater element of surprise and antispation by not knowing who your players next opponent is. Focus more on the current rounds match up.

That was single elimination which you could see what who you might get if you won. But since that was pretty brutal we gone to pool play, where each player will get three contest. The best four from each archetype pool will move onto the four way finals. So we can't really do the old BOS style quite exactly. You knew generally what each player was heading for but not the exact matchup. I did this do give each team a more level playing field and so I only need even number of players instead of multiples of four.

So its All At Once or Round By Round.

<font color="red">Final four archetypes are</font>

Tomboy, Inhuman, Wallflower, Angelic

<font color="red">Warning! Warning! These will only be guidelines and coaches (and voters) may take them as they will.</font>

Tomboy: A girl who behaves according to the stereotypical gender role of a boy. Usually this includes appearance of hair and clothing, but not always.

Inhuman: Whether in mind, body, or spirit this girl is not quite human. Aliens, demon, beast, or artificial are all examples. This archetype can also include those that act without compunction or human feeling.

Wallflower: Shy girls with a low self esteem are typical of this archetype. They tend not participate in activities at a social event because of fear or unpopularity.

Angelic: A girl that is known for their sweet nature and kindness toward others. Willing to sacrifice her own well being to help others and is consider the epitome of goodness.

All coaches have 48 hours to PM me with which of their players will go to which pool. First round matchups will be revealed Friday and polls start Saturday.

After seeing the archetypes that will be used in the tournament, it was a smart move that I did drafted Chiyo-chan as an extra "angelic" girl. Sent my picks in.

Looking at your drafted Characters, I already see one archetype that is pretty much shot (Tomboy). Of course Faye-Faye and Fuji-Cakes do play with the boys a lot. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

All four assignments are done at the same time. I doubt the poll start time would be moved up any, but would everyone getting their team assignments in early possibly move up revealing the first-round matchups?

Yup the faster that happens the faster I upload the PDF file of each pool's first round. IMHO they are looking really nice with each matchup and pool standings. Interesting thing to note is in the pool standings you will be able to see which round each character was drafted from as well as there record, total points, total votes, and current standing (which is now all tied up in first place).

As for interactive, well some might want to campaign, taunt, root, or comment on the field and who they might want or prey will meet next.

I'm just not the competitive type. Actually, I'm the super competitive type, which is no fun, so I just try not to be competitive at all. It's much more fun just going for the ride, rather than having to be first, because there is always someone faster, better, and smarter than you, and you rarely will actually finish first. Setting you heart on finishing first, and giving everything you have only to come in second or worse... That's just plain depressing, and I don't want to go back into that place.

For me, it was more fun seeing who everyone picked, and seeing who I would end up picking. I think there were a lot of good picks, some characters I liked, and a few I haven't a clue who they are. But, I'll at least know they exist now, and might look them up later.

[XenoCrisis0153]

I thought we'd be able to choose each round... oh well

so sad to see Devilish go, but Mature I wasn't too worried about. Interesting to see how things pan out from this point on

[Jimmie M]

As much as I love Miyuki &amp; Natsumi (See avatar), I decided to go a different route with this particular game which is why I didn't draft either character from YUA! this time. I was hoping to go with Inspector Kinoshita (Who appears in the final 7 episodes of Season 1, the movie, &amp; Season 2) but she would have been limited to only 1 archtype &amp; in the end I didn't draft her. Maybe next year...

My picks are in. Good luck everyone! /images/graemlins/happy.gif

see, I thought that we'd be able to select any of our 5 characters for each round... which is why I picked multi-archtype characters. If I knew each character was going to be restricted to just represent one archtype, I woulda changed my strategy. And like y'all are saying... it seems like our work is done now that the draft is over.

I'll agree that was the case in the BOS tourney in the early rounds. But, I think that's because there were quite a few characters from series that a lot of people hadn't seen yet. Ultimately, though, I think that the right characters were voted to the finals.

Um...my opinion is to try and guess SotS's line-up (as opposed to randomly inserting them) which seems to be pretty straight forward looking at the choices. Besides, if you read what he wrote during the draft, I think he said as he picked which characters would fall into which category.

I tried guessing what every team's lineups would be last night. I PM'ed Chimp my guesses for Team Chibivision. For me, this team is probably one of the easiest to figure out where each character would fit on the board. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

Since I IM chat with Spirit of the Stage often, I sent him another e-mail reminding him of the tournament.

I'm sure he'll read this e-mail, since he usually reads the the ones that I send him (be it when it comes to his "works" or when it comes to who the lastest girl to make a Pactio with Negi in the Negima manga is).

No, didn't, but... guess I still don't see what that necessarily adds to the whole thing.

I suppose part of the problem is what with so many characters, there are a lot of matchups where one or both of the characters is a "don't care" or "not familiar" for me. When it's one on one, that becomes a major problem. When it's voting for one or two out of a pool of a dozen or whatever, THEN it's much more likely that my vote is going for a character(s) I truly care about and think worthy of my vote.

For example, with Angelic:
Particularly familiar with both chars: 2 matchups
Particularly familiar with one char: 5 matchups
[and 1 non-count for Chibivision missing]

With Inhuman:
Particularly familiar with both chars: 2 matchups
Particularly familiar with one char: 3 matchups
Particularly familiar with neither char: 2 matchups
[and 1 non-count for Chibivision missing]

Etc... Granted, I've *heard of* basically every one, but I dunno... just seems stretched thin this way. I'd want at least 3-4 chars per matchup. But that's just me.

Well vote for the characters you know and care about all through pool play. For each character will get three vs matchups. Then the best will go onto the pool finals that will have four characters to chose from and hopefully more then one you care about.

I'M REALLY SORRY!

I explained to both Chimp and to TnAdct1 that basically my PC decided on the day the draft was done, it was gonna crash. And I had to take it to the shop.

So I'm using a library PC to submit my choices (which I sent both to Chimp and also to TnAdct1 one) - please don't start without me, for once this wasn't my fault!!!! /images/graemlins/happy.gif

Just to make absolutely sure;

CHOICES

Angelic - Sora Naegino (Kaleido Star)
Tomboy - Kino (Kino's Journey)
Wallflower - Hinata Hyuuga (Naruto)
Inhuman - Mizuho Kazami (Please Teacher)

Again I'm sorry for the delaying!!!

[Azumangaman]

Well, I did 'em last year (along with many others), as its fun to say who you think will win!
Congrats to Chimp, on GRRREAT looking draft boards this tourney!

Angelic:

Sora Naegino
vs.
Misha-San

*If the Pita-Ten anime was here, she'd win hands down. I've read the manga so she gets my vote, but others will go for Sora, as everyone knows Sora (and loves her)

Miss Sakaki
vs.
Kyoko Otonashi

*The thing that'll win here is sheer popularity. Sakaki certainly is a friggin angel, but many more people know/like Sakaki over Kyoko. I'm sure this Kyoko will give Sakaki a run for her money, but facing Sakaki just ain't easy*

Hitomi Kanzaki
vs.
Sasahara Natsuki

*I don't know either of these people, but Escaflowne is more popular than Hyper Police.*

Yomiko Readman
vs.
Tohru Honda

*It's TOHRU HONDA. From FRUITS BASKET. 'nuff said*

Rakka
vs.
Rukia

*due to the sheer amount of Bleach fans, I can see Rukia winning. However, HR is extremley popular in the Top 10 of '06 thread.*

Mai Toikha
vs.
BELLDANDY
*not even slight contest here, its BELLDANDY!*

Raquel Cassul
vs.

Yeah, I got a bad draw there against her, I am still hoping that the popularity of Ai yori Aoshi and the fact that the manga is still on going help me make a miracle. The fact that Aoi is Sexy and with the exeption of the lolicons Aoi has Chiyo beat in the sexy department. Of course your prediction is VERY biased as your Handle indicates /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Sexiness is a powerful ally, but Aoi is going up against one of the few anime characters that has been recognized as "lethally cute". Her penguin suit is nothing to be trifled with, and could make many a voter all starry-eyed and mushy for her.

I'M REALLY SORRY!

I explained to both Chimp and to TnAdct1 that basically my PC decided on the day the draft was done, it was gonna crash. And I had to take it to the shop.

So I'm using a library PC to submit my choices (which I sent both to Chimp and also to TnAdct1 one) - please don't start without me, for once this wasn't my fault!!!! /images/graemlins/happy.gif

Just to make absolutely sure;

CHOICES

Angelic - Sora Naegino (Kaleido Star)
Tomboy - Kino (Kino's Journey)
Wallflower - Hinata Hyuuga (Naruto)
Inhuman - Mizuho Kazami (Please Teacher)

Again I'm sorry for the delaying!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm so glad Mizuho is being used (screwed up my predictions a bit). At least my Ichigo won't have to face her. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

As I figured, this tourney was going to be harder to predict. I only managed to guess six of the sixteen teams correctly. The other ten, five teams I had three of the five positions right, and five teams I only managed to guess one character right.

The biggest surprise for me was seeing Mikuru Asahina in the Wallflower category. That one threw me through a loop.

And it looks like Inhuman is a throwaway category after all. Many of those girls have practically nothing in common.

I had her down for Wallflower on my list.

Inhuman does look like it will have some interesting matchups for their first matches though. Ryoko vs. Mizuho, Lime vs. Mahoro, and our matchup Haruko vs. Armitage are the matchups that I'm interested in. And could we have a possible Mother/Daughter showdown with Washu and Ryoko battling each other? /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

Indeed. As Kyon says, Mikuru is "My angel~". She wouldn't be able to beat Belldandy, but she's soooo much more angelic than Mai. Maybe Team Please!Angel just didn't have another that would have fit Wallflower.

And in the end it might have been a good choice (inadvertantly, because he couldnt know who he'd be up against)... Belldandy will win Angelic against almost anyone, so that's pretty much a throwaway match for Team Please!Angel. With Mikuru in Wallflower, he has a popular character in what was viewed as a weak pool.

Of course, even the most popular characters from unlicensed shows rarely win these things. As for the better SHnY wallflower... it depends. With the way Chimp describes the category, Mikuru is better for the "shy/low self esteem", while Yuki is better in the "tend not to participate at a social event", because reading emotions like "shy" or "fear" into Yuki is... difficult /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif

[Lumberjack]

Something that I find ironic is that Riza Hawkeye was put in the Tomboy field and the picture of her that was used is the most feminine looking picture of her that I've ever seen (with her hair down, a sweet look on her face, no gun, etc.).

To be honest, when I saw the Riza pick, I immediately assumed that she was picked for the Mature category. I didn't occur to me to fit her into the Tomboy category, but I can see it.

Well what can I say. I liked the picture and thought she was heading to the Mature catagory as well. I will still take coach sumissions for pics for rounds two and three. Just try to make sure they are hi-res because in the PDF you can zoom and lo-res shots look like crap. Don't worry about diminsion as I will crop to the best of my ablities.

Oh and it would be nice if each coach picked two of their players and submitted a short bio. No more then 60 words or shorter. I might be doing some extra stuff to get to know some of the players.

Great and all, but when do we get to vote? =P

[ape2020]

I won't do it now since I learned my lesson from the mascot disaster in the BOS but I thinking of what Tomcat was saying about the passive nature after the drafting.

Fifth Player Substitution: Each team may make one substitution with their fifth unused player. This may happen either after the first or second round. The new player's record, points, and votes totals will follow them in starting anew. The old player's points will remain for the team score. The substitution should be PM to me before the start of the next round.

Is an act of disperation since the record of zero follows the new player in. But if a teams selection is getting hammered this might be a way score some extra team points and maybe pull off a miracle showing.

Again this will not be implantmented this game since teams might have drafted a little differently if they knew about this at the start.

So, if I understand this correctly, the new character will not inherit the old character's record, votes, etc, but will instead start with all zeros. Therefore it will be difficult for the new character to advance to the next round, but it might stop the other character from getting slaughtered by the competition?

Only one of two is close to what I would actually call a tomboy. The rest have some aspects of a tomboy, but also have some feminine characteristics. Appearance isn't required, and honestly, most of the tomboys I know in real life aren't butch, and don't look like boys, they just have interests that are more normally associated with boys, like sports, gaming, cars or motorcycles, etc.

I can think of quite a few anime characters that have heavy tomboy aspects, but are also feminine and sexy...

Basically. While there is a chance for the new character making it to the finals, they start at a disadvantage. This is for teams that took a risk on a character and find out that they are getting beaten down badly and bringing down ones team. If you drafted a versitile character but left them out you can dump them in and hope to salvage some team points.

[/ QUOTE ]can't be helped many people were betting that tomboy was going to be dropped and they lost (here included). IT is rare that mature women stay tomboy, but like someone mentioned, spike called faye a tomboy once. Lets put it in a simple way, Most mature women that act like man and not like a lady can be considered adult tomboy. I think that Misato,Haruka, and Faye are good examples of adult tomboys.

Wow. The polls have only been up for an hour and there are already 20 votes or so on each poll. /images/graemlins/stunned0.gif

Could be several reason for this. One there is always a rush of voting in the early stages even in the BOS. Two its fall and more people are at a computer due to weather and school. Three its girls and they are more popular. I had a few hicups but I hope that corrected them fast enough not to scare some away. I will be interesting what the final vote totals will be.

-chimp1010

[kamillebidan]

Misato a tomboy? What, just because she drinks beer and her apartment is messy? Or because she carries a gun? Sorry, I'm not buying it. She's far from a delicate, refined lady and she's definitely capable of kicking ass but this doesn't make her a tomboy. I never remotely considered her for the that category.

Same for Faye. I don't see any tomboy characteristics in her personality at all. I have always thought of Faye as a very sensual woman.

I thought it was more in the fifties for the BOS (in fact, we are about there right now in this tourney). I'm amazed that I'm on the losing end of all my first matches right now. However, the only one getting creamed for my squad is Rukia. Everyone else has managed to garner at least 20 votes each and still have a shot right now at a close match. Hopefully one or more of them can get a win before this round is done. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

Well you all are going to have to wait since my PDF files include pool standings. And I only want to do one post with the polls stating the second round matchups. But rest assured I'm working on them as we speak or at least some extra little tweaks.

-chimp1010

[ape2020]

Okay the matchups for the second round are all set, Woot! I only await the final scores of the first round to set up the leader boards.

So while I won't reveal anything just yet I thought I would give a few hints as to what will come.

FYI I set up the matchup by place a slip of paper with each teams on it into my Magical Sac-O-Randomness. Then with my Mikura gashapon in there to agitate them I shake well and pick two teams. I go through all four pools and place each teams player in a match, alternating each team that will be first in the poll. I have a very bad memory so I don't know which player is on which team until I pull their card.

Okay so now onto the teasers.

1) A new look for a new round, it is a girls tourney for christ sake!

2) Behold a clash of titans that will rock both heaven and earth!

3) Looking for that May-December battle? Read all about it!

4) Licenee? We don't need no stinking licenee!

5) Sci-Fi channel matchups? Terminator verse ET trilogy!

6) Matrix special, will you take the red pill or blue pill?

7) Looking for that May-December battle again? There is no escape!

8) Grace and beauty as they dance on the cutting edge without fear.

9) Another mature catfight?

Probably Yuki vs, Mikuru since I just have a feeling that'l happen.

Well I can tell you this much. Seven of the clues if cracked will each reveal four matchups. One clue doesn't reveal anything. One clue will give out the general players to three matchups thus revealing 12 possible contests. And one clue if cracked will reveal the whole second round and I think its the easiest one to do!

Well, I should quit screwing around at work, but this looks like abbreviations for the inhuman match-ups, so here's my guess:

(Lime/Lafiel/Lum) vs. Washu Hakubi
Mahoro Vs. Haruko Haruhara
Urd vs. (Lime/Lafiel/Lum)
Ryoko vs. Naomi Armitage
Jun Fudoh vs. Natsuki Kuga
Mizuho Kazami vs. Aisha Clanclan
Dejiko vs. Maj. Motoko Kusanagi
(Lime/Lafiel/Lum) vs. Guu

So, if that's the case, looks like my previous guess at Major vs. Naomi is way off...

If it's "Angelic", then I'm guessing Belldandy vs. Tohru.

Oh, it looks like we have a winner! Now based on this, what three other matchups does this reveal?

Well done grasshopper. This puzzle should open 15 more matchups! Plus one of the little clues was cracked and it should help complete this one. And there is more this clue will crack one of the other clue that has been mentioned a lot. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

If one of my hunches is correct, is one of the "May-Decemeber romance" matches happen to be <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>Robin vs. Nodoka (with Robin, there's definitely something between her and the older Amon; with Nodoka-chan, she has already confessed her love to ten-year old Negi-sensei). </span>

And the walls coming tumbling down. So with that the rest of the matchups can be found. Now the only questions is which clues goes with which matchups.

Don't be so sure about that. While Belldandy got more votes Tohru had an agruable more difficult opponent and the riceball's contest had more overall votes. I actual see this as a break for all the other players in the Angelic Pool, if the these two have a close race then they won't pull away from the rest of the pack.

Totally agree. Considering how well Furuba did in the Boys Tournament it's obvious of Furuba's and indeed Tohru's fanbase. And personally, going by the notes of the architype, I will actually vote for Tohru, simply because she seems naturally angelic in persona more than Belldandy. Yes, seems blasphemous, but here me out...

Tohru finds good in everyone and manages to bring their tender sides out - even Hiro and Akito fall to this. Belldandy is similar, but it's not all without something - she has that problem of course (forgot what it's called, sorry been a while since I saw AMGTV) when someone gets too close to Keiichi something bad happens...as stupid as this sounds, I see Tohru as more naturally angelic than Belldandy (duh - one's a human and one's a goddess) and will go for the riceball next vote...

Figuring what the other matchups are for the second round, I can see a couple of my characters getting their asses beat next round. The other two, I see doing much better than their first round. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

[Azumangaman]

So..I'm battlin' Team Venture!

Inhuman:
Dejiko vs. Motoko Kusanagi
(swear to gosh, If Chimp puts me against the other top 3 Inhuman-Ryoko-I'll put on my angry face!)

Tomboy:
Niea vs. Casca

Angelic:
Sakaki vs. Hitomi

Wallflower:
Lain vs. Tsukasa

BRING IT VENTURERS!

Looks like you got my vote in Wallflower and Angelic, I'll abstain from Tomboy, and I gotta go against you for Inhuman.

Heh, lots of good match ups there (Belldandy vs. Tohru the absolute pick of the bunch...)

Of my matches, I've quitely confident about Angelic and Tomboy (but never say never), Inhuman...hmm, not so sure, and I'm utterly screwed in Wallflower (two heavyweights in a row, first Shinobu and now FRIKKIN REI? Poor Hina-chan...).

But looking at the scores, it's nice and tight at the early stages, anything can happen...

I know that I'm screwed because I'm the one who has to face Shinobu this round. /images/graemlins/knowital.gif
