I always intended to make the voting team versus team, but others have differing ideas. Let's put it to a vote.
Option 1: Team versus Team
6 Team vs. Team Matchups (determined at random)
Winners Advance
6 Losing Teams Go to A Sudden Death Six-way Matchup (people vote for two)
2 Winning Teams Advance to Single Elimination Phase
Round of 8 (Head to Head):
Round of 4 (Head to Head):
Championship
Individual voters will determine criteria for judging teams. Is it by how well the game plays today, nostalgia, mechanics, influence, at random, or some combination of all?
Option #2: Round by Round
Games chosen from individual rounds will face off in a battle royale of sorts. Points will be given to teams on far their game advances.
Example:
Round 1 Games (vote for four)
Dark Souls
The Legend of Zelda: A Link To the Past
The Last of Us
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Super Mario World
Tetris
Contra
Super Mario Bros. 3
Pokemon Blue
Donkey Kong Country
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
8 Round 1 Games With the Least Votes (Vote for 2)
2 Games with Highest Votes earn 1 point for their team
4 Round 1 Games with Highest Votes get 2 points for their team for winning the first round of voting then move onto:
4 Round 1 Games With Highest Votes (vote for 1)
Game with Highest Votes earns 5 points for their team
Repeat For all Rounds, Team with Highest Point Total Wins
Option #3:
Team Versus Team followed by a March Madness style Tournament with all of the Games Chosen (and 8 more to make the numbers work out)

We didn't pick teams thinking the rounds were so significant that they would compete against all other games in that round, so that's a bad idea. I think the games should be randomly chosen and matched up with other randomly chosen games each round.

Or how about this! The teams are randomly paired and then each team has to choose the game they want pitted against the other team, unknowing of what they are going to choose, but knowing what's available to them. That's a good idea.

Or how 'bout this...
You vote on one of these three options?

It's a great idea. Once you use a game, you can't use it again, until everyone has used up all their games. Tally the scores.

How about we just do it the way these team tournaments have always been done on RM?

I didn't eff it up, you guys did by not having faith in my capabilities. And you went the vanilla route, with the safe M_D choice.

Vanilla is a classic flavor for a reason.

I can't believe M_D made this thread on his phone. That's a lot of work.
