Ruby over

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Congratulations to Misaka Mikoto for winning the Ruby Necklace! A number of upsets occured in this final round; both of our undefeated Contestants are no longer perfect, but they still retain their #1 and #2 ranks for the time being. The postseason gets ever closer, and the number of contestable Top 16 slots gets smaller and smaller. As of this round, the Top 8 are guaranteed a Double Elimination berth. How will Diamond Period play out for our girls?

Emerald over

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Congratulations to Shana for winning the Emerald Necklace; she becomes the second Contestant to win a Necklace in two consecutive Periods (Haruhi was first in 2008 with the Ruby and Diamond Necklaces). Her total Necklace count is 4.

Ruby Period begins next week. We are nearing the end of the regular season; thanks to everyone for voting and staying with us.

Sapphire over

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Congratulations to Shana for winning the Sapphire Necklace; she is the first Contestant to have defended a Necklace in consecutive years, also winning it in 2009.

We move on to Emerald Period next week. The usual preview will be available on Friday, but if you can’t wait, you can visit the full schedule page to look at the rest of the matchups.

Amethyst over

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Congratulations to the winner of the Amethyst Necklace, Nagato Yuki!

Since it is the end of the Period, the “head-to-head” tiebreaker took effect for the final Amethyst standings, which has higher precedence than the SDO stat. It affected three Contestants in the middle of the standings but played no role in determining the necklace winner (and it won’t play a role in the future as long as the necklace contenders have no losses in the Period).

This tiebreaker won’t be applied to the overall standings until the end of the Regular Season.

Aquamarine over

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Congratulations to the winner of the Aquamarine Necklace, Akiyama Mio!

Aqua7 had the greatest amount of voter participation yet; thanks to all for giving this Period an appropriate grand finale. With multiple Contestants at a 7-0 record, the tiebreaker came down to SDO (Strength of Defeated Opponents). It’s a good demonstration of how our statistics are calculated; the overall performance of one will depend on the success of others in addition to her own.

We’ll take a break this week until Topaz 1 on Sunday; the match preview will be available on Friday.

In addition, all of our Contestant biographies should be up to date with 2009 information. Thanks for your patience. (For any corrections or suggestions, please comment.)
