re: Sexiest TV/Movie Actresses 2000-2016 - Sweet 16 (Voting Closed) NSFW

Top seed #1 plays lowest seed of every number, meaning...

There are 4 slots in every position, 1-16. Margot Robbie was the highest seeded #1 based on voting so she faces the lowest seeded numbers. Lowest #2, #3, #4, etc...

Please, don't talk down to me and explain to me how tournament seeding works. I'm fully aware of the structure.

How would you have ranked them? Because the way you just said is also subjective since you like those ladies. I left my personal feelings aside and went purely off of the nominations threads

The issue is that upon viewing the initial nominations thread, most guys likely came across an actress or two they thought were deserving and therefore neglected to nominate them again during their respective post submission. Meaning, there were several women who were probably universally appreciated but were consequently overlooked because it didn't seem necessary to nominate them multiple times.

I realize that you spelled out the rules, but some guys still didn't adhere to the nomination format.

Perhaps, the most effective way to determine the seeding is to require each nomination post to actually rank their 10 respective nominees according to sex appeal (think of this as the closest thing to an RPI ranking). That way, each nominee does not possess the same numerical value.

Also, we're being really liberal with our definition of 'actress'. Individuals like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are much better known for their runway modeling than their acting. The girl has two film credits to her name, does that really justify her being labeled as an actress?

This bracket could look entirely different in the blink of an eye if the label "TV/movie actress" is omitted.

I'm not trying to act you specifically, because this is a pretty cool thread regardless of some flaws. The only issue I've had thus far is how arbitrary the seeding has been. In my opinion, the number of nominations just doesn't seem like the most effective way of evaluating seed positioning.
