Congrats to Mad for winning the bonus crayon lottery!

Good day, Colors players. My name is Elizabeth. I am here to host the most amazing battle tournament in existence - the Colorseum!
Don't worry, no one will get hurt, at least as long as I don't want them to... The battles will not be decided by strength or strategy, but rather by the ability to win the crowd's hearts! And the judges... will be you!

Want more details? My pleasure!
- Each 'round' will consist of 5 'sub-rounds', posted weekly. They will be First Round A, First Round B, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals and the Final!
- Each round will have a theme - they work in a similar way to the Scrapbook things you use here.
- Each round will have 16 characters from various series fighting in one-on-one battles, in a form of a knockout tournament.
- You decide who will advance to the next round by casting your votes.
- The votes are unscreened, and every player participating will get the same prizes, regardless of the final results! That means you can always vote for the characters YOU like the most!
- Feel free to try to convince other players to vote for your favourites! Bribery, threats - anything goes!
- I will always vote last, just before closing the round. If two characters are tied after that, the one with the higher seed advances to the next round.
- During the final battle of each round, you will be able to suggest who you want to participate in the next one!

OKAY OKAY ENOUGH OF THIS
Now it's time for what everyone's been waiting for! After having 8 tournaments, 40 rounds, 120 fights and 128 contestants, we have arrived to Season One Finale!



In the season finale, the eight tournament winners go all out against each other to decide who's the ultimate champion! No holding back, anything goes!


Let's look at the tournament (step)ladder, then:



So, are the participants ready? Here are today's battles:
QUARTERFINALS, PART 1

BATTLE 1

(seed 2) Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist) versus (8) Augustine Sycamore (Pokemon)


BATTLE 2

(5) Michiru Kaioh (Sailor Moon) versus (4) Klavier Gavin (Ace Attorney)



===============================================================


QUESTION CORNER

Dude, what's up with those seeds?
We need seeds in order to plan the ladder and break the ties, so I ordered the finalists based on how well they did in their own respective tournaments. Here's the list:


Those seeds don't mean too much, looking at the ladder I wouldn't be suprised at all if the four bottom seeds advanced to the semis.

I'm a fellow stat nerd. What's those percentages about?
The percentage of votes they got in all fights they were in. For example if you win a fight 15-5, you got 75% of votes.

Yeah but shouldn't seeds 1 and 2 be placed the other way around on the ladder?
Yes. But I had to put all Persona 3 characters in the same half. No matter how much you (and I) love this game, we are not having an all-P3 final.

So what happens after this?
Season Two, obviously! I may throw in a bonus tenth round or a short break before I start it, but it will happen, no worries.


===============================================================

You can vote using this form, though it is not mandatory.


You don't have to vote in every pair. However, for each vote you will get three random cards, making it a total of six random cards. Yes, even the prizes go up in the final tournament!
Remember, the prizes are the same for everyone, no matter who wins the battles! So vote for your favourites, not the characters you 'expect' to win.
There will also be a bonus prize of two random crayons for one random, lucky participant.

You can look at results of all the battles so far below!
Round 1 - Royalty | Round 2 - Scientists | Round 3 - Green hair | Round 4 - Androids and robots | Round 5 - Sports | Round 6 - Student Council | Round 7 - Musicians | Round 8 - Gunners





This round will close on June 13th CLOSED!, Central European time!
