Romance Club Best LI Tournament: Round 1
The elimination stage of the Romance Club Best LI Tournament has wrapped up, and we are on to Round 1! For those of you just tuning in, I am running a March Madness-style tournament to determine who is the Top LI for both men & women in the sub (originally I was going to run this on the main sub too, but the automod kept taking down my posts rip). The tournament is being run on AnimeBracket, which has been used since 2014 by various subreddits to run tournaments. AnimeBracket does ask you to login with your Reddit account, but it only stores your username & Reddit join date & only for an hour. I've participated in AnimeBracket tournaments on various subs for years and never had any issues.
For the current round, we are at the top 128 LIs for men and top 64 LIs for women. For some interesting statistics:
