My shitpost ranked higher than some actually good ones right below lol

Fun event. Might make sense to include a "don't know the character" option next time since it seems like the lowest rated entries all include obscure characters.

Awesome! yeah, this event was really fun. Lucky me this is my first year in MAL, and it even turned out to be something I could participate in. The were tons of pairings I couldn't vote in because I hadn't watched the anime, but they gave me tons of ideas to what to watch next. A lot of the ones I did recognize were fun or lovely pairings.

Also, now after the fact I came up with another odd but good pairing. Ryuuji (Toradora) and Levy (AoT) since they both like cleaning to an almost manic degree. I wish I would've thought of it sooner.

@Kineta Hey there! I'd be interested to see a tally of how many people voted for each grouping if possible. I want to do a bit of statistical analysis on it as a little side project.

I specifically want to see if there's a more accurate way to tally data as I suspect that the earlier groupings have a higher chance of votes compared to the later sets.

If I were to warrant a guess, I'd say the timing issue is why there's a set ranking. As for why the sets are released staggered is probably to keep engagement with the site up.

Sure it's not perfect, but this is a low stakes friendly competition that is meant to encourage participation in the forum. I think it does that job decently well without requiring a lot of time and effort from the organizers (which is likely "the" issue if the system were to be changed).

Still, not discouraging from your project. Keep at it. Analysing datasets is fun.

@leafdrops I divide the total points each image received by the # of voters for that Set to get a percentage. You can see that calculation on the "All Voter/Points Data" link (so it should be possible to back calculate the number of voters).

Usually we have all sets out by voting time, but this year, there were sooo many submissions to process @_@

In general though, we're aware that most voters will only look at the first few sets. So we try to put submissions that we expect will receive a lot of votes in the earlier sets so that more people can see them. This is just a rough shuffling though, so please don't take that statement too seriously. Still, if you see a bias towards the earlier sets, this could be a strong reason for it :)

@Kineta Aha I see, that makes a lot of sense then. I didn't realize they were being preliminarily sorted. Everything's making sense all now!
For a bit more clarification, I was interested in seeing how the participation across each set dropped in comparison to what ended up being voted for. I.e. if the later sets received a different proportion of 0's, 1's, or 2's compared to earlier sets in proportion to the overall. But I think I misread one of the columns and something similar is there?

Thank you for the hard work!

@SlimRunner Turns out there was a preliminary ranking system which makes a whole lot of sense in hindsight. Didn't cross my mind at all. I agree with your points though on it encouraging participation and it was a friendly competition that everyone enjoyed including me! I'm curious as to if the change in participation across the sets correlates to differences in proportion for votes (0,1,2 system).
