Mousematt Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 I've been thinking about running some kind of ongoing 'ladder tournament' for a while now, that would mean we could have a continuously updating list of the most popular models on Bellazon, and also crown a monthly champion. Seeing as we are heading into a new decade I think I may as well take the plunge and get it started. The idea is that there are 25 'tiers', each tier consisting of 4 models (From tier 1 down to tier 25). Each of the tier 25 models will play a model from tier 24. The next day the winners each play a model from tier 23. This continues until we have 4 'Tier 1' models, who then play each other in quarter finals, semi finals, then a final against the model who won in the previous month. I'm not sure how well I've explained this, but it should be pretty easy to follow when it gets going. Basically you just need to show up each day for four 'which model do you prefer, this one or this one' matches and I'll do the rest. Because I need an initial list of models I am going to start by using the results of Bellazon's Top 100 Sexiest Women 2017. It's a little out of date (although it doesn't seem too bad to me). The way I've organised the competition means literally anyone could win, even models who are not on the list. It might take a few months for it to start looking more reflective of the most popular models at the moment, but I think it will work. This is where you come in. At the start of every month I need 8 'nominated' models, who aren't in the top 101, to enter the fray. (I'll actually need 12 this month because there are only 97 models in the Top 100 sexiest women 2017). So what I need from you is - - 8 Models (Maximum - you can nominate fewer if you wish) - Not already on the Top 101 list (See below) - Must have a page in the model forum This is designed to reflect the current popularity of models, so I will be using recent pictures. I'm not going to stop anyone nominating models who aren't currently working, but that isn't really what the competition is about. I think the competition itself will be kicking off on the 2nd January, with the first model of the month crowned on the 31st. If you have any questions, ask away. I think it will be easier to understand when it is up and running, but as it is designed to be ongoing I will tweak it if things aren't working. Thanks for looking and participating! Quote

Stormbringer Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 This looks interesting! I nominate, for now: Kate Li Natalie Roser Hailey Outland Nicola Cavanis Quote
Mousematt Posted December 29, 2019 Author Posted December 29, 2019 Oh, I forgot to say - you can nominate models that other people have nominated. The more nominations they get the more likely they are to make it into January's top 101. (My plan is to take the 12 models with the most nominations and put them in a battle royale with the 4 models from tier 24 to decide tiers 24 and 25. I'll see how this system works and maybe tweak it over time). Quote
Stormbringer Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 ^ Considering that I added one more nomination. Quote

Mousematt Posted January 3, 2020 Author Posted January 3, 2020 Kelsey Merrit and Hailey Outland received fewer nominations that the other models, which is why I put them in lower tiers. I will have a think about whether this system of selecting models works and if I can improve it, but now we have our tier 24 models we can move on to...... Quote
