A3! OUTFITS TOURNAMENT INTEREST FORM RESULTS

thank you for filling in the interest form! based on the results of the form and the polls i did here, here's how the tournament will go:

FINALISED CATEGORIES

spring outfits

summer outfits

autumn outfits

rehearsal outfits

travel outfits (from HAve A greAt trip)

mAnkai AnimAls (thanks for the suggestion!)

mankai encore outfits (the majority voted for mankai encore to replace the students' uniforms in this poll)

mankai starlit sky goods (thanks for the suggestion!)

trajectory of blooming (threw this in bc i wanted an even total number of categories)

other characters (izumi, matsukawa, kamekichi [non-negotiable], godza, 1st gen mankai etc. i'll put the full list under the cut)

ROUND 0.5

there will be a round 0.5 for those with two rehearsal outfits to determine which one will represent them in round 1 of the rehearsal outfits category (e.g. sakuya HS rehearsal vs sakuya post-HS rehearsal). also 64% of y'all in the interest form wanted itaru's gamer outfit to fight his spring outfit so that's also gonna happen in round 0.5

round 0.5 polls will start on 22 April 2023, 3am PDT. each poll will be up for 24 hours so please drop your vote asap!

CONTESTANT PAIRINGS

an overwhelming majority of 80% wanted me to randomise the contestants' pairings in the brackets so this is what i have:

(i know some of the pairings like yuki-muku, guy-citron, and azami-sakyo look too coincidental (the fact that they're all consecutive too wtf??) but i promise i really did randomise it I HAVE PROOF)

(look there's no way i could've come up with chikage vs omi or homare vs juza on my own so pls believe me 😭)

basically for round 3 on each side, there'll be 3 guys going up against each other. based on the results of this poll, i'll put the 3 guys in a poll together, then take the 2 guys with the most votes and pit them against each other in round 4 aka the semi-finals to determine who will go on to the finals. this will be standard across all the categories that have all 24 lads.

as for hAve A greAt trip, since there were only 20 guys in that event i've decided to shuffle everyone again. the pairings:

this might be a little confusing (i've never despised odd numbers so much till creating the brackets for this tournament) so i'll do my best to explain

for round 2, there will be 3 guys in the red circle going up against each other (do NOT judge my circles i did my best with my mouse). i'll take the 2 guys with the most votes from the red circle and pit them against the winner from the blue circle. this will result in the 3 guys in the green circle. once more, i will take the 2 guys with the most votes from the green circle and pit them against each other in the finals (in yellow).

OTHER CHARACTERS

80% of you guys wanted a separate category for the other characters so here's the list of who will be appearing (including suggestions from you guys):

mankai non-acting staff: izumi, matsukawa, kamekichi (this is non-negotiable), tetsuro, rento, and akashi

1st gen mankai (yukio, yuzo, kasumi, hiro, zen, and syu)

hyakka company: kabuto amadate, aoshi shikagawa, and keiju amadate

gekkagumi: august and july

sakoda

mankai siblings: fuyuki takato, tadoru minagi, meguru minagi, tangerine, mika (i know mika's technically not related to citron and tangerine but i'm putting him here bc in my heart they are family)

mankai members' friends: mizuno, tonooka (i'm being generous by calling him a friend tbh, nachi, and ryo

recurring etude event rivals: hikaru karasuma, puck, aaron

i'll post the 'others' bracket closer to when we've cleared the main 24's categories. once we have our winner from all 10 categories, we'll proceed on to the finals

RULES

be nice. you can roast the characters' fashion choices to your heart's content but don't drag the characters themselves, and definitely don't be a dick to other voters. this is just for fun so let's keep this friendly and respectful <3
