Welcome to the first annual Dynasty Sports Chise Madness tournament. We will finally be putting to rest who is the Chise GOAT on these forums. Here are the rules.
1. Don't be a crybaby
2. It will be user vs. user.
3. All of an user's chises that the user has posted an update in within the last year (2/26/2024) will be considered.
4. Voting will be open for three days for each round.
5. Voting will be based on the criteria outlined below.
6. Only votes should be entered into the matchup threads. All trash talk and conversation should be held in the trash talk thread or the chatbox.
7. Don't be a crybaby. This is all in good fun and to get everyone taking a look at everyone's chises.
Voting Categories:
Chises should be evaluated on the following metrics. Each category is worth 10 points and will provide a final score of 50.
1. Engagement and Activity
Replies & Views: Threads with high reply counts and many views often indicate strong engagement.
Consistency: A well-maintained dynasty that gets regular updates (not just a few posts and then abandoned).
Reader Interaction: Look for threads where users comment, ask questions, and provide feedback.
2. Presentation & Writing Quality
Detail & Storytelling: Does the author just list stats and scores, or do they add depth (e.g., game recaps, player spotlights, press conference write-ups, or backstories)?
Formatting & Readability: Threads with bold headers, images, box scores, and clear layouts tend to be more engaging.
Graphics & Visuals: Some users include screenshots, custom graphics, tables, or video highlights.
3. Realism & Immersion
Believability: Does the dynasty feel realistic, or does the user make unrealistic trades/signings that break immersion?
Depth: Is the user just playing games, or do they manage rosters, recruit, handle contracts, and discuss strategies?
Narrative & Role-Playing: Some threads go beyond stats and include coaching interviews, media articles, or locker room drama.
4. Longevity & Completion
Multiple Seasons: Some of the best dynasties span multiple in-game years, showing long-term progression.
Thread Lifespan: Older threads with consistent updates over months or years often become community favorites.
5. Uniqueness & Creativity
Challenging Scenarios: Is it a rebuild of a struggling team or a custom league with fictional teams?
Creative Rules or Restrictions: Some users create house rules to avoid cheesing the game (e.g., no manual trades, only using certain recruiting pipelines).
Custom Stories: Unique elements like coach-created personas, backstories, or alternative history setups add flavor.
Voters can post just a number and/or a number with feedback. The user should be evaluated in comparison to their opponent, meaning a score could be different from round to round.
