So I've been working out some math and looking back at my post
here. Trying to come up with the best possible layout as far as the voting phase will go. I just wanted to know what you good people thought of the structure. So, what I think will happen, once all nominations are in, the 112-track eras will go through the three rounds as outlined before, ending up with 24 titles at the end, and the 56-track eras (we
may need to cut 1950-1955 short, it seems like) will go through two rounds:
112 nominations:
- Round 1: 16 groups of 7 with the top 5 moving on (80 total)
- Round 2: 16 groups of 5 with the top 3 moving on (48 total)
- Round 3: 24 groups of 2 with the top 1 moving on (24 total)
56 nominations:
- Round 1: 8 groups of 7 with the top 5 moving on (40 total)
- Round 2: 8 groups of 5 with the top 3 moving on (24 total)
So, heading into the playoffs will be 336 tracks overall. Each of the 14 eras will be going through a one-and-done playoff using
this template. This is a ranked template, and tracks will be ranked throughout the first 2 or 3 rounds by the average percentage of votes received. So, this rank will be used to seed them 1 through 24, with the top eight getting a bye into the second round of playoffs.
Once a winner is declared in each time period, the 14 winners will then also go onto a round-robin seeding tournament
and a face-off playoff (because just a playoff between 14 tracks seems unfair). The 13-round round-robin will start with all tracks at zero points each facing off against one other track and the winner receiving 1 point and the loser 0. In event of a tie, 0.5 points will be awarded to both tracks. The points earned during the round-robin will determine the order for the final face-off, using
this template. In this template the top four tracks are getting a bye all the way to the Quarterfinals, while the others go through a preliminary two-round battle.
I know it sounds daunting and kinda confusing, but at the end of the day I think it will work perfectly. What do y'all think?
