Daria Tournament of Champions: Difference between revisions

The tournament was first posted by [[CINCGREEN]] on the [[Scorched Remnants Message Board]], and was only open to posters on that board. With the airing of "[[Is It College Yet?]]" in January 2002, and the official end of new episodes, CINCGREEN had toyed with ranking all 67 "episodes" -- 65 half-hour regular season episodes plus the two extended-length "movie" episodes" -- from greatest to worst.
 
CINCGREEN then conceived of an idea where fans could vote on the best episodes. The idea would be that episodes would be compared against each other, one on one, in an imaginary tournament. The format would be much like the NCAA Basketball Tournaments, where 64varying amounts of American basketball teams compete to name a champion. Each episode would be given a tenativetentative ranking by CINCGREEN to determine a seeding, to make sure that "good" episodes faced "bad" episodes in the first round of play.
 
The seeding system was determined from a combination of factors: from online polls of the first three seasons and from the reviews of [[Daniel Suni]], [[Mike Quinn]], and [[Wraith]]. (Other attempts to determine a best episode, such as [[Daria by Numbers]], would come later.)
As there were 67 episodes to be considered and only 64 spaces in a tournament bracket, the "bottom four" episodes would compete in a "play-in bracket" to face what CINCGREEN had ranked the ''tenativetentative'' #1 Daria episode -- "[[Speedtrapped]]".
 
The format was that a match would be posted on the SRMB every three days and Daria fans would vote on each "game", with the winner moving forward. Ties would be resolved with a call for extra votes. With the "Final Four", votes had to be e-mailed to CINCGREEN rather than be posted publicallypublicly.
