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 Three 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
AKA 'The underdogs with huge bribing power'

Kyoko Kirigiri (Dangan Ronpa) versus Julius Visconti (God Eater 2)

Tiebreaker: Kyoko

BATTLE 2
AKA 'Who can charm the audience better?'

Donald Duck (Kingdom Hearts) versus Viktor Nikiforov (Yuri On Ice)

Tiebreaker: Viktor

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

QUESTION CORNER

Dude, where are the seeds?
Officially, there are no seeds. As last year, we'll be using the percentage of votes as the tiebreaker. So technically, the seeds would look like this:

1 Kyoko Kirigiri 74.04%
2 Gou Matsuoka 70.97%
3 James 70.59%
4 Lillie 66.36%
5 Julius Visconti 66.12%
6 Ann Takamaki 63.79%
7 Viktor Nikiforov 62.04%
8 Donald Duck 61.46%

However, we're not basing the ladder on those seeds, instead I paired the characters hoping to create some interesting matchups. Under every game, there is a note about who the tiebreaker belongs to.

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.

So what happens after this?
There will probably be a Season Four starting somewhere in September. But first, we're gonna have another summer special! I'm not gonna spoil it for you yet, you have to wait a little longer.

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

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 five random cards, making it a total of ten 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.
