March Madness: Favorite ASOIAF Character. We Have A Winner!

Recommended Posts

There's one particular character I now realise I'd forgotten. Drat.

So are we meant to start voting on tie breakers?

No, not a vote exactly. A discussion. Let me know if you disagree with any of the tie breakers being there or if you think one is higher or lower than you would put it. That kind of comment.

Am I just being stupid? Where are the tie breakers? The lists only tell us which charcters are in the game, not which are tied.

No you are not being stupid at all.

I copied over the characters in their current points order - but I didn't copy over the points, because I don't want people obsessing about that.

But I'll give you an example:

I haven't added rocksniffer's vote to the spreadsheet yet, but before his votes are tallied there is currently a tie between Thoros of Myr and Jeor Mormont. Both have 37 points and are tied for 30th. One of them will face the 2nd overall seed character, the other will face the 4rth overall seed. It's a pretty big difference.

Looking at the tie breaker, neither one has first place votes, but in the 2nd tie breaker, Mormont appears on 4 lists, Thoros on 3.

As a result, Jeor Mormont is #30 and Thoros #31.

Does that make more sense?

Explanations and Commentary


About the seeding


I made some changes to the group seeding. Originally said it would be all the odd seeds in group 1 (West) (1,3,5,7 etc) and all even in group 2 (East) (2,4,6,8 . . .). I changed slightly so the number 1 seed gets the lowest seed - #32. Group 1 became 1,4,6,8 etc and group 2 became 2,3,5,7.


There were some mistakes in last nights listing because I did not resolve a couple of ties inside the 32 top vote getters. Genna Frey, MMD, and Lyanna Stark were tied at 26. After using the tie breakers, Genna became 26, MMD 27, Lyanna 28. Meera Reed and Margaery Tyrell were also tied at 13, and Meera got the higher placing based on having two 5th place votes to Margaery's one 5th place vote.

Bloodraven is technically a Targaryen because he was legitimized. Everything else is good. :)

ETA: do we PM you our votes or post them in the thread?

Post your votes here. Everything should appear in the thread where it can be checked by all.

Thanks for the Bloodraven clarification. So I should call him Brynden Targaryen?
