FAQ
>What is this?
A single-elimination tournament of 128 characters that was first started in 2018.
They are a pair of tournaments held yearly on /co/ which last for 10 days each. They
are presented in a meta context as if they were beauty pageants with Yotsuba, /co/nrad,
/co/lette, Hope Corgi, J/aco/lyn, Jenny Wakeman, and Johnny Bravo presiding as judges.
People post drawings, vocaroos, greentexts, storytimes, rec guides, videos, or edits of characters
they like that are nominated. The champion wins a "Jenny" or "Johnny" and is permanently retired.

Ms. /co/ and Mr. /co/lympus will be the fifth edition of these tournaments on /co/. There are similar character tournaments on /v/ and /mlp/.

A more comprehensive history can be found on the wiki.

>Why do this?
Although the main purpose of the tournaments is to decide /co/'s favorite characters of the year, it also encourages the creation of OC and the discovery of comics, cartoons & characters you haven't appreciated or heard of before.

>How does this work?
Vote in the poll for which characters you like the most. Each round lasts around 23-24 hours, and polls & results are posted at the end of each round.

>The Hosts are gone! What now?

>Series (individual shows) can only have 3 characters (i.e. 3 characters from STAS, BTAS, or PPG)
