Idol Tournament (planning)

[Chiri Tsukikawa]

There are a few options (no there aren't).

 

In this tournament you would not vote for who you like better, but the performance (song if there isn't one, or if there isn't a video of the particular performance) you like better.

 

To keep it fair, if one song being used has no video, any other song in the match won't use one.

 

Results of the check for interest:

That sounds really neat tbh. Only question is how will things be...nominated? Cause I wouldn't even know where to begin on nominating something like this.

Well, I've thought of this throughout the day and what I came up with was this:

• Only idols that have performed solo and in a group of 3 will qualify (this means if picking from Love Live!, you would pick between BiBi and the other units like them. If picking from iDOLMASTER, I think almost any combination will work, but you'd need to check YouTube to make sure your combination is a thing.).
• Round 1 would be 16 units: 8 units would move on and one from each losing unit would move on, giving us a good 32 for round 2 (when you vote you first pick which group you want and I guess this round is a little based on popularity because you'd also need to pick one from each group you'd like to go on if their group loses).
• Any ties and both go on. Not in the finals and only after round 1 because if there are a bunch of unit ties, there would be a lot more than predicted for round 2 (first round loser's second chance can be tied, though).
• Each person participating (nominators) will send me the song they want used in the next round (you'd be like their manager) after every match involving their nominations (for the first round, when they're nominated perhaps) and I post the next round when I have all songs (this means if you choose to take part, you can't forget).
• I guess there should be an amount of time you're allowed to take until I choose for you, just in case.

And finally what you asked, I'll give the number of unit nominations per person out depending how many people are interested.

 

I feel like I needed to type all that out in order to answer this (and I kind of did, otherwise you wouldn't know how you'd be nominating).

I was about to say "Oh no you di'n't,", but this actually sounds interesting, if definitely a long process.

I just realized some stuff. If there's only a video with just audio for something, that doesn't mean there's one like that for other songs, so there might have to be a video with a performance vs. one with only audio.

 

Also, apparently there are iDOLMASTER songs blocked in the US and other places. So say if I pick one that isn't blocked for me, it might be blocked for others.

 

Idk how I'd get around that. :o

 

What would be ways?

Maybe I should give up even tho no one said no.

 

EDIT: What I meant by the blocked songs is there are songs that are usually blocked and songs that are sometimes blocked (tho I wouldn't be surprised if there are songs you can't view on YouTube at all) and on the list that I saw in a video were some that I've seen videos for. Maybe we could get lucky and everything I can see will be able to be viewed by everyone interested and vice versa.

 

EDIT 2: This is math:

 

[10 x 3 = 30 / 2 = 15 + (10 / 2 = 5) = 20] + [8 x 2 = 16 / 2 = 8 + (8 / 2 = 4) = 12] = 32

or just this:

20 + 12 = 32

 

This means we can do it with 16 groups of 3 like I first thought of, or we can go with 10 3s and 8 groups of 2.

Just gonna put this on top since it's (basically) the only non-locked thread, while I'm here. :)

The lack of response makes me wonder who all voted for this to be a thing
