It's a bit weird to see Topaz period coming this early.
Hope the winner will be from an above average anime

Group 14: Nothing new.
Group 15: Utaha was created last year.

I also feel a bit weird with Topaz coming this soon, but I guess I'll get used to the new structure of the period set up soon.

Re: 2016 Topaz General Discussion Threads
There's a lot of contestants that we'll discover the strengh tomorrow.
Ebisuzuwa Kurumi, Kujo Sakurako, Shinobu, Hitagi (will they be boosted by our new voters roster like Nadeko this year?), Shidare Hotaru.
And this Nagato Yuki-Kinomoto Sakura... I don't want to see this, I hope both will qualify but I also hope Shinobu will qualify... *Cry in a corner*

Re: 2016 Topaz General Discussion Threads
I like everyone to note, though I suspect most people realized already, that we implemented upgraded Vote Checking procedure this year. This might be why we are getting some "interesting" results.

Re: 2016 Topaz General Discussion Threads
No, because some of the change is due to structural changes that were somewhat forced upon us. We simply don't have as many characters appearing in a single voting day as we did last year.Chibasa wrote:Would we have same amount of votes as last year without this upgrade?maglor wrote:I like everyone to note, though I suspect most people realized already, that we implemented upgraded Vote Checking procedure this year.

Re: 2016 Topaz General Discussion Threads
Let's review what's written on ISML 2008 homepage:
So... now ISML gives up its original thought and walking on other saimoes' way?However, the single elimination tournaments that have made Saimoe ever so popular sometimes result in huge matchups in the early rounds, leaving some contestants walking home with a missed opportunity. Although the random pairings were the only way to determine who goes against whom, questions and speculations arise on whether a girl would have fared a better result had parings been different. Even so, a selected few have passed the challenge of single elimination and emerged victorious.

Re: 2016 Topaz General Discussion Threads
Most of other saimoe let more than half of the contestants be involved in only one match for the year. We are guaranteeing at least three. We wish we could have guaranteed more, but that was considered too much risky when we have to implement much needed upgrades. Next year, minimum number of matches for any contestants will very likely be more than this year.FISHING wrote:Let's review what's written on ISML 2008 homepage:So... now ISML gives up its original thought and walking on other saimoes' way?However, the single elimination tournaments that have made Saimoe ever so popular sometimes result in huge matchups in the early rounds, leaving some contestants walking home with a missed opportunity.
