Unit Battle Royale 2014: No More Entries-JUST VOTE!
UNIT BATTLE ROYALE 2014










It's back. After some desire to bring back the Unit Battle Royale was expressed and conversations with LordRaidor and Ranior who have run the event in the past, I will be running the whole shebang this year.

I'll be heavily using all of LR's stuff to make it through this, and I'm sorry if I won't quite live up to LR's great standards. I'll do my best though, and it should be a great contest again!

Continuing On
Contest Rules and Regulations

To celebrate the 8th birthday of HeroScapers.com (May 3rd), the Battle Royale is back! Once again, this brute-force popularity contest will feature a new public poll each day for 39 days to decide which units will advance through the tournament.

For the first round of battle (32 polls), eight to nine units will go head-to-head each day, with only the three most popular units advancing to the next round. The next round only the top two of six will advance. Two of these polls will go on a day. The remaining 15 battles (Regional Semi-Finals, Regional Finals, Semi-Finals, and Finals) will have only four units competing each day and will advance the top two. Only one of these polls will be happening in any given day.

(If you want to see how the Battle Royale played out in 2009, click here.)
(If you want to see how the Battle Royale played out in 2010, click here.)
(If you want to see how the Battle Royale played out in 2011, click here.)

ENTERING THE CONTEST:
There will be no prizes for the Battle Royale this year, but registered members of HeroScapers.com can compete for prestige and glory by predicting which units will triumph in each daily poll. Members must submit their guesses on what ALL the polling results will be BEFORE the polling begins. Entries will be scored on their accuracy, and the highest scorers will earn the well-deserved respect of their fellow HSers (or custom forum titles, if they'd like--(I assume that LR will once again offer this...but I obviously can't! Don't hold me to it ))

Note that these polls aren't based on which units are the strongest, or the best sculpts, or the most cost-efficient; it's a popularity contest. Game potential will undoubtedly come into play, but people will also vote for units because they look neat, or have cool abilities, or just have a special place in their hearts for no predictable reason. The contest isn't about finding the 'best' units, but rather guessing which units will get the most votes.

To enter the contest, examine the tournament bracket in the first post and pick the units each round that you think will get the most votes (1st-3rd place for the first round and 1st and 2nd place thereafter). A completed entry will consist of 158 numbered unit picks total, in numerical order as shown on the tournament bracket. You may not select the same unit more than once per round. Submit this list of all 158 winning picks. Entries must be received on or before May 9th, 2014, to be eligible for scoring.

ENTRY SCORING:
In the first round (first 32 polls), entries will score ONE point for each contestant they picked that does actually advance, or TWO points if they predicted the proper standing that day as well. For example, let's say that the "DAY 1" poll ends with "Unit A" in 1st place and "Unit B" in 2nd and "Unit C" in 3rd. An entry that predicted "A" as 1st and "B" as 2nd (right units, in order) would earn 4 points. An entry listing "B" for 1st and "A" for 2nd (right units, wrong order) would only score 2 points. An entry picking "A" as 1st and "D" as 2nd (one unit, proper standing) would also get 2 points. An entry guessing "B" as 1st and "D" as 2nd (one unit, wrong place) would be worth only 1 point.

Each round after the first will score double the points from the previous round. The second round (16 polls) would therefore score 2 points for each correct choice, or 4 each with the proper placing. The third round (8 polls) will likewise score 4 (or 8) points, the fourth round (4 Regional Finals) meriting 8 (or 16) points, the fifth round (2 Semi-Finals) meriting 16 (or 32) points, and with the Final Round (last poll) worth 32 (or 64) points per accurate pick, respectively. After all polls have been completed, the grand total of all the points earned by an entry will be that entry's Final Score, that being anywhere between 0 points minimum and 832 points maximum.

TECHNICAL NOTES:
Any ties, during daily polls or final scoring, will be broken by d20 roll. Participants must have a valid HSers.com member account to enter, and Administrators and Moderators of HeroScapers.com may enter this contest (with the exception of the contest facilitator, Dysole). Only the first entry per member account will be accepted - no changes or alterations to an entry will be allowed once it is submitted.

Last Little Bit
ENTRY SUBMISSIONS:
AS OF 11:59 PM PST MAY 9th, 2014, no further entries will be accepted. I will try to check entries for 'correctness' but can not guarantee, so double-check it yourself twice before you click 'submit'. If an entry has fewer or more than 158 numbered unit picks, it will be rejected, and you will be notified of this by PM. Additionally keep a copy of your bracket, and then you can check that your score is correct!


Current Entrants:

Dr.Goomonkey

And finally, a few notes about this year's bracket and (unit) combatants. As it has been a while, we are running ALL the units including those created by VC. In the prepoll over 2/3 of respondents stated that they should be included and so they are. If I receive a significant number of complaints about this, it will be reconsidered for next year. Previous winners have been included back in (as well as those units removed for failing to do so well previously) as it has been several years and time may have changed. For future UBRs we will probably be doing something similar to what was done in previous years just to keep the thing a bit more manageable. Seeding was done at random.

That's all the small-talk I can come up with for now. Please feel free to discuss the UBR here in this thread if you'd like. Remember that entries must be received by me on or before May 9th, 2014.

Good Luck, and Have Fun!

Not at all. I'll add them in once you do.

~Dysole, noting that if you're going to pull figure GIFs the ones made by LordRaidor are higher quality than the ones he has made so far because he didn't realize the difference in quality at the time

Could you be more specific? Quite a few of them have the same figure listed multiple times.

~Dysole, who wouldn't be surprised that there are errors
