The bracket has been updated to reflect the latest results and mini face-offs: 2007 Alpha Diva Open (http://home.comcast.net/~ape2020/Alpha_Diva_2007_Bracket.pdf)
The finals will be different then the rest of the tourney as it will be four way battle. Plus the finals will be split up into four aspects and the lady that garners the most votes will be crowned the winner.
Note I will be adding profiles for each girl. Warning these profiles will contain spoilers so beware!!!!! Oh and I added more pictures especially on the champion text!!
The four aspects will be:
Image: Which girl looks the most like a Alpha Female or Diva Lady?
Attitude: Which girl acts the most like a Alpha Female or Diva Lady?
Essence: Which girl feels the most like a Alpha Female or Diva Lady?
Perseverance: Which girl had the toughest battles in the tourney?
Layla Hamilton (Kaleido Star)
Fukuoka Southern Regional Champion (http://home.comcast.net/~ape2020/Diva/Layla_Hamilton.jpg) [/color]ProfileLayla is an accomplished and seasoned performer. She is a stubborn character and plays an antagonist-like role in the beginning of the story, but like many of the other characters, she befriends Sora. Layla is the daughter of Mr. Hamilton, a wealthy hotel chain owner; he would prefer Layla to be an actress and is frequently trying to push her into doing so. Layla eventually stands up to her father and rejoins the circus; she loves the Kaleido Stage because she clearly remembers how her deceased mother enjoyed going there. At the end of the first season, after attempting the great Mystical Act and seriously injuring her shoulder Layla gives up the circus and retires to Broadway.
2007 ADO Recap: Close runner-up in the 2006 open and heavy favorite entering the this years tourney, Layla Hamilton “The Legendary Phoenix of Kaleido” is again in the finals. She opened with a tough bout against always popular Minako Aino/Sailor Venus (Sailor Moon). Then came her toughest battle in the second round against spoiled little rich girl Nanami Kiryuu (Revolutionary Girl Utena). Layla continued to roll in the regional semifinals with a win over cool and calculating Urumi Kanzaki (GTO). Finally in the Fukuoka southern regional finals this princess of the high wire took out cult daring Pixy Misa (Magical Project S). So now its on finals and maybe a well deserved coronation?

Haruhi Suzumiya (Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
Sapporo Northern Regional Champion (http://home.comcast.net/~ape2020/Diva/Haruhi_Suzumiya.jpg) ProfileHaruhi Suzumiya is a girl in her first year of high school. Her classmates characterize her as being eccentric, beautiful, and unpredictable. She lacks a social life, detests small talk, and is viewed by her classmates as a deviant. In her introduction, she declares to be interested only in aliens, ESPers, time travelers, dimensional travelers (specifically sliders), and other oddities; normal humans are of no interest to her. She often refers to classmates as objects rather than people.
2007 ADO Recap: Haruhi blew out of land of the rising sun on a wave of incredible positive buzz. This rookie’s first round contest was a taste of her power with a strong win over villainous Lust (Fullmetal Alchemist). Then she took out highly noted prima donna Princess Fatora (El-Hazard) in a second round bout. In the regional semifinals Haruhi stunned some with her win over the powerful witch Yūko Ichihara (Xxxholic). Then in the Sapporo northern regional finals Haruhi proved she was one of the few with a bigger ego then the egotistical Naga the White Serpant (Slayers). Can this bone fida superstar crash the finals and take over the 2007 Alpha Diva Open?

Mami Honda (Super GALS)
Yokohama Eastern Regional Champion (http://home.comcast.net/~ape2020/Diva/Mami_Honda.jpg) ProfileMami is a rival of Ran, known as the "Queen of Ikebukuro." Later on in the series, Mami falls in love with Yuya. She also develops a truce with Ran in Volume 5 of GALS!; It's okay to have a change of heart. In the anime, she comes from a very rich family.
2007 ADO Recap: The self proclaimed “Queen of Ikebukuro” is back again in the finals, if not barely. In a relatively easy first round Mami rolled over Jung-Freud (Gunbuster). But then the road became very tough with a slim win over Lina Inverse (Slayers). It was out of the frying pan and into the fire with a heart stopping mini face-off with Asuka Langley Sohryu (Neon Genesis Evangelion). After that win it was again a relative easy win in the Yokohama eastern regional final over Haruka Suzushiro (My-HiME). Now will this super gal again play the spoiler or will she seize the crown for herself.

Urd (Ah! My Goddess)
Osaka Western Regional Champion (http://home.comcast.net/~ape2020/Diva/Urd.jpg) ProfileUrd is Belldandy's older sister and is the second Goddess to appear to Keiichi. Urd ranks as Goddess second class, management category limited license, similar to her youngest sister Skuld. She is the Yggdrasil System Administrator and Manager. Urd fancies herself a Goddess of Love, although the unpredictability of her magical potions and her general lack of restraint tends to complicate, rather than stimulate, Keiichi and Belldandy's love life. She came to Earth to spur Keiichi onward with love potions and well-meaning, but deceitful advice, but as punishment for deserting her post and for using her powers on Earth without authorization, The Almighty banished her from Heaven until further notice.
2007 ADO Recap: A goddess from heaven, Urd has used her divine popularity to enter the finals. Her first opponent Zakuro Fujiwara (Tokyo Mew Mew) prove little resistance. Then in her second round contest prove to be a little tougher in Lady Seto (Tenchi Muyo GXP), but Urd moved on victorious. The goddess still had more of the Jurian royal family to battle in the Princess Ayeka Masaki Jurai (Tenchi Muyo), who took Urd to the limit in a mini face-off. The Osaka western finals looked to be her toughest against the ultimate alpha female tough lady Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing (Hellsing), yet Urd prevailed. So the sultry Urd will enter the finals looking to surprise all who doubt her powers and charms.

As always these are only guildlines and it up to each member to nominate ones that best fit their own idea of Alpha Diva.
Alpha Diva:
1. A female in the community to whom the others follow and defer. A strong individual in both mind and spirit.
2. A performer who is extremely talented but very imperious and temperamental. But the distinguishing factor is that their talent permits this somewhat uncouth or detached behaviour.
3. One with an exaggerated sense of self-importance. Requiring a great deal of attention and excessive effort to maintain beauty, style and image.
