[nidoking]

Last week's results:

Cynthia [18] - [3] Kyouka Shiraishi
Rin Kagamine [13] - [8] Kana Arima

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, Quarterfinals, Semifinals 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 at Season Eight 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 bracket, then:



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

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME


Cynthia (Pokemon) versus Rin Kagamine (Vocaloid)

Tiebreaker: Cynthia

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



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 Cynthia 76.47%
2 Utena Tenjou 76.09%
3 Rin Kagamine 75.29%
4 Aoba Seragaki 69.79%
5 Girl from AAST 63.96%
6 Kana Arima 62.96%
7 Thomas Edison 62.30%
8 Kyouka Shiraishi 61.43%

However, we're not basing the bracket 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?
Something big.

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

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

For voting you will get six random crayons. Yes, even the prizes go up in the final tournament!
