A grand welcome to the third iteration of the Forumer Showdown Series!
Inspired by the success of the first two iterations of the Forumer Showdown, the third iteration is here on popular demand! With great pleasure, I would like to announce The Forumer Showdown III - this is a contest of 128 people - of which only one can emerge victorious!
The Forumer Showdown is a knockout-style tournament in which each of the 128 participants is paired together with one opponent. A poll thread is made every day, showing the bracket at present. This is followed by a voting session to determine the winner.
You can vote for anyone, no matter how you judge - their name, fame, friendliness, contributions, or even their profile pictures - you decide. At the end of the session, the forumer with more votes makes it to the next round, consisting of 64 forumers. Seven rounds will take place, and the final remaining person wins. You can also explain why you chose a specific forumer in the thread to get him/her more potential votes!
Every thread related to The Forumer Showdown III will be linked in this thread. Every day, the tournament bracket is uploaded here. The polls start and end at noon UTC every day.

Sign-Up Form
1. Forums Name:
2. Profile Picture to be used in the showdown: [My profile picture on the day of your first match/A .png file of the Profile Picture to be used] IN SPOILER
3. Section (if registering on Discord): [Off-Topic/Skyblock/Bedwars/Other Games]
4. I agree to the terms and conditions.
Terms and Conditions:
1. You should be emotionally strong enough to withstand a loss in an online event without spreading negativity.
2. You should not resign mid-tournament, once it starts.
3. You should not currently be a Hypixel Staff Member (Youtubers are allowed to participate though)
4. Winners (only #1) of the previous showdown can not participate.
5. Note that signing up doesn't guarantee participation in the tournament. Check out the information in "List of Signees and Shortlisting" section below
List of Signees and Shortlisting:
I shall approve your sign with a "Like" reaction. You can find the list of Signees on
. Note that your name won't be shown here, instead it will show up as "Anonymous Animal" to other viewers. At the end of registration, in case of excess signees, those with the lowest Entry Score will be removed. In case of deficit entries, Round 1 will be cancelled for that mini-showdown and the number of positions will be cut in half, and Round 2 shall commence according to the above Entry Score rule. (for example, if Bedwars receives only 10 signees out of the required 16, then Round 1 will be cancelled and Round 2 will start on 1 July 2024 with the top 8 signees in terms of Entry Score)
Entry Score Calculation:
Entry Score = (1.00*Messages) + (0.25 * Reaction Score) + (0.75 * Positive Reactions) + (20.00*Solutions)
The Entry Score is used only during shortlisting excess applications. After the start of the showdown, the entry points would have no effect. The formula was devised in such a way that deleted reactions from large threads (like LTP S3) would also count.
Off-Topic Signups shall close on 6 June 2024 at noon UTC.
Voting Process
Votes will be made public. If the vote gap, at the end of the match, is under 8, the votes which are not at least Active Member will not be counted, in order to prevent alt voting and boosting scores. You may vote for yourself, or your opponent as well.
You can not change your vote once applied.
The poll shall close in 24 or 48 hours.
The threads will be locked after the poll ends, to prevent bumping and further discussion.
The polls shall begin at noon UTC everyday.
Tie-breaking policy: First, active member votes are eliminated. If the tie persists, well-known member votes are eliminated. This process is continued till a winner is found.
