WJ's Elimination Game 1 - Diamond Era Disney and Pixar animated features

WJTeng · November 20, 2022, 4:25am

So I’m doing my first ever elimination game. I will organize it differently, and it’s going to be whoever gets more votes advances - so for my elimination games, you will be voting in the best, not voting out the worst.

So how it goes:

32 animated features from the Diamond Era (with the 2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo; 2006-2022) will be drawn into eight groups of four.
The game is contested with eight round-robin groups, with two films from each group advancing to the knockout stage. 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss.
16 animated features will advance to the knockout stage. Whoever gets the most votes advances.
An addition of a third-place playoff.

The animated features were divided into four pots of eight. One team from each pot was selected to form a group.

WJTeng · December 29, 2022, 8:01am

Welcome to the knockout stage! The top two films from each group have been advanced to the knockout stage where they will play in single-elimination rounds. The film that receives more votes advances to the next round, whereas the film that receives less votes is immediately eliminated. The knockout stage will end with the final where the top two films will battle it out to be the best Disney and Pixar animated feature of the Diamond Era (more popularly known as the Disney Revival). A third-place play-off will also be played for the two losing semi-finalists.

If the score is level when voting ends, voting will be extended for a day. If, after the extension of the vote, the score is still tied, the round will be decided by a tie-breaker, where the first film to reach five votes, or most votes at the end of one day, will progress to the next round.

First up is Up vs Tangled, and Soul vs Encanto! Vote for you think is the better film!
