45 names on the list so far and 1.5 hours left for nominations.

I will determine the pairings by a dice rolling program. For example, I will start with a 45 sided dice (if that's the final number) and roll. That name will be removed from the list and a 44 sided dice will be rolled to determine their pair.

I believe he is referring to a computer program, judging by the way he said "dice rolling program".

Am I right?

If there is an odd number of contestants, then the last remaining name will get a Bye for the round.

Every round will be done this way. There will be no tree. I don't want there to be a way to predict who any contestant will be up against in the next round. Each round is elimination.

I realise that this could pave the way for the same person to somehow get a Bye several times in a row, but that's the nature of randomness.

Some rules:

1] One vote per customer. If you use a puppet to vote, the Mods will catch it and none of your votes will be counted.
2] You must vote publicly, in the round's thread. TG or email votes will not be counted. If that makes you uncomfortable, do not vote.
3] If you feel you are going to take any of this personally, let me know now and I will remove you from the competition.

I am also open to suggestions at this point. However, once voting begins, that's how it's going to be. I won't change the game mid-stream.

Excellent. :)

Yes, you're right. I think TWH was joking. :D

if the two of you have figured out how to do a fair contest that no one will bitch about, i think it should be a stickied topic, and perhaps be a ruling on the forum on THE ONLY WAY TO RUN A CONTEST. that way, there is no drama.

Well if he hasn't asnwered by 10 minutes prior to opening round 1, then I'll assume it's a yes.

Hey, I'm impressed I managed to slip on the nominations list, despite my low post count. :) Yay!

Well, it ain't quantity, it's quality. :D

10 minutes!

Okie ... so here's the change of plan and how the competition is going to work.

In round one, everybody will get 25 votes that you can distribute any way you like. Give all 25 to one person, or give one vote to 25 people. It's completely up to you.

The 25 people with the most votes will move on to round two and everybody will get 15 votes in round two.

Got it? Got it!

Off to make the thread now.

Geez I hope I'm not nominated...these things never make any sense to me...

Hmm interesting. I think it's a good idea, will speed this baby up.

I nominate Vittos Ordination, and I don't care if nominations are closed.

No body loves me :(

Thanks Swimmingpool, you have secured 25 votes in every round. You know we genuises are never recognized until we are gone.

No body loves me :(

Don't feel bad, I have twice as many posts as you, and until Swimmingpool's moment of clarity, I had zero nominations as well.
