User blog:Calua/Miss OP Announcement

Guess what guys? Another tournament! Yay! But this time it's Miss One Piece. I hosted this tournament back in 2011 for the first time since MDM suggested it. Recently it came back and has gotten many requests. So why not host another one? But this time, I'm not going to be the only host. There will be two others with me! They'll be MJ and THT. I got everything prepared. With permission, we were able to have a similar format like Ayet did for his Devil Fruits tournament. It went great! A well thought out format.

There will be an abundance of females this year. As last time I checked, there was 157 female characters (which was in 2011). Currently in the there are about 200 pages, including the Kuja and waitress categories (none removed, just added together all the pages). So this was my plan, since last time some people questioned why some pages were there, such as Shelly and Su. With that in mind, I narrowed it down to 179. Still many. I might narrow it down even more depending on the responses to the question I asked at the bottom.

Questions

 * Should Nico Robin, Boa Hancock, and Nami be allow to be in the tournament?
 * This is because they won 1st (Robin), 2nd (Hancock), and 3rd place (Nami) last time and wanting to be fair to the rest. If so, then the winner will be 4th place and so on.
 * Do you think this format is okay?
 * Is there anything else that I should add?

Well that's it. It should start on Wednesday September 11th, 2013 if there are enough responses to the questions. If not, it'll be pushed back once again to Friday September 13th, 2013. Hopefully that doesn't happen. ~ヾ(＾∇＾)
