The 2010 Favourite Character Ever Cup Competition - Nomination Phase

Update: 6th August The Nomination Phase is now over. We've had over 900+ people submit their nominations and we're now collating all these results. The next step will be to have a number of polls to get us down to the final 64 Characters and then we'll make the draw and open up the brackets so that you can start predicting the results. Once we have peoples picks in we will then start the competition.

Update: 5th August This Nomination Phase will close on Friday, at which time we'll then get a poll going for the remaining few characters who are on "the cut" to give us our final 64 characters.

Update: 5th August We've had over 650+ people submit their nominations, keep them coming. Tell your friends and make sure you post a link to this post in any fansites/forums that you visit.

And so having had a few weeks off from daily typing out the Best TV Show Ever Competition, which saw Supernatural crowned Victorious, it is time for the 2010 Favourite Character Ever Competition.

We are on the hunt at this stage for the best 64 characters ever to have made the small screen so we can all predict then vote for our favourites all the way down to the Final 2 battling it out, much like Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries did a few weeks ago.
As always, there will be one week, maybe a bit more for people to send in their nominations for the competition, then we will seed a few of the more popular characters to avoid early clashes, then begin on a quest for the best. In order to even the field between male and female characters and get a wider range of shows and characters in, the voting will work in a fashion where you vote for your two favourite male characters, and then your two favourite female characters, and I will, in a week or so count up which characters has had the most nominations and then then they will make the final 64. Chances are there will be a poll to select the final few who have had similar numbers of nominations.

So the Rules:
1) You must select Two Male and Two Female characters only. Anyone found selecting anymore will have all nominations erased from the results.
2)There is a maximum of Three Male and Three Female Characters from each show, so a popular show may have a maximum of 6 of the final 64. You may only select two characters from one show, so if you have two male LOST characters, you may not select a Female character.
3)Hopefully (if possible) In Round one each tie will be male vs. male and female vs. female, before sexes mix from Round 2 onwards.
4) Please state the show the character is from in the Nomination eg. Walter Bishop (Fringe) and in order to be fair and to save me sifting through any characters I don't know to find the show, I will not include any votes where I do not have the show the character is from.
5)Spread the word and have fun. And make sure your favourite is in the final competition. Bear in mind that for example Jack, Locke, Desmond and Ben cannot all make the final competition, as all are male LOST characters. So if you have a favourite character, spread the word to fans of that character, not the show. Inner-show rivalries may emerge. But keep it friendly.

I'll be around during the week if anyone has any questions.

Good Luck people, and may the Favourite Character win.
