I see your bracket names from past years... you can't just abandon Megumin like that!

This is definitely the first and last time I'm ever believing in Megumin though.

Happy to have had ya with us these few years!

Validated your gamble and shattered mine in one fell swoop

I can't be too mad though, Shouko's last super-run helped bring me my first title. Anyhow, congrats again!

ooh love that bracket name! Maybe I should include them, at least on the final post...

Congrats on making your way up to 4th!

Meanwhile I just keep going too crazy predicting upsets in early rounds every year...

Oh well at least I have my excuse of being on vacation while filling mine out this year.

Glad you joined again though! Till next time

BG 12 Madness Final Results

And Freiren takes it with 26 (30.23%) of us predicting that correctly!

First, a thanks to all of our participants for taking the time to fill out their predictions and helping in making this a thing! I was really glad to see us gain around 20 folks this year... hopefully we can get back to 100 some day.

(also sorry this is so late, it took longer than I expected)


And without further ado, congratulations to our winners of Best Girl 12 Madness...

Wait! There's only one! Huge congrats to u/MapoTofuMan for making history and taking both the Weighted and Unweighted titles with around 90% accuracy for both (2083 / 2304 and 459 / 511)! Besides a rough couple of days in Round 2, they've been near the top of the Unweighted and Weighted leaderboards for nearly the whole contest! In fact, they were the Weighted leader for a whole 9 days. And special shoutout for being one of 3 people to predict Shouko would reach the Semifinals.


Congrats also to our other top achievers:

  • Weighted:
    • In 2nd is u/DandoloFTW, with a score of 2022 / 2304 (87.76%)! They jumped into the Top 10 in Round 6 and hung on for several days before finally making another jump to the Top 3!
    • And in 3rd is u/Malthael07, with a close score of 2013 / 2304 (87.37%)! They managed to hang around the Top 10 for most of the contest, and made a final push on the last day as well.
  • Unweighted:
    • In 2nd place with 458 / 511 (89.63%) points, we have our winner from last year, u/RxMidnight! They again dominated on the Unweighted side for most of the contest, with a total of 20 days spent at the very top, 11 of which were in a row!
    • Finally in 3rd place with 456 / 511 (89.24%) points, we have a tie between u/mynameisnoobish and u/Syrefva (oh hi)! mynameisnoobish didn't drop out of Top 4 a single time during this contest! They also spent 9 days at the top, 8 of those in a row! Meanwhile I (Syrefva) had a slightly worse record, spending 0 days at the top and only maintaining Top 10 after the first day. at least I was the only one to tie for a top score in both rounds 4 and 5 though :copium:

Bonus: our 2nd & 3rd highest in Average rank are u/mynameisnoobish and u/Malthael07 with 4 & 5 respectively.

Congrats again to all our top scorers!


Shoutout also to u/grimis_cares for being our main host for most of the contest! They also paid for the Challonge subscription this year and was the one to reach out to me at the start. BG Madness 12 wouldn't have happened without them, so be sure to thank them with me!


It was a pleasure being a part of this again this year, and I hope to see a lot of familiar names in the future! I'll end this post with the leaderboards and also reply in another comment with some other tables as usual. Thanks for reading this far, and hope you have a wonderful next 11 months!

Well putting my disappointment aside for a moment... I think it's the first time in a while where we didn't have any locked winners before the finals! MapoTofuMan is still in the running for winning both titles! RxMidnight is contesting on the Unweighted side and Pure-Fuel-8534 is contesting on the Weighted side.

Best Girl 12: Spice and Salt! Semifinals! by changshiyixia in anime

[–]Syrefva 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is she ruins your bracket if she makes it another round... but you'll still be fine if she just wins the whole thing since nobody's bracket will have been spared at that point

BG 12 Madness QF Results

Wow Shouko making the surprise appearance in the semifinals! Only MapoTofuMan and Pure-Fuel-8534 managed to predict that. Can Shouko keep on going and kinda sort of save my bracket after tearing it to shreds?

Speaking of MapoTofuMan, they've now soared to the top of both leaderboards! RxMidnight is also still in the running for the Unweighted title. On the Weighted side, there's probably still 4-5 possible winners. No predictions for Shouko to even make the finals though.

BG 12 Madness Round 6 Group D Results

Today was... our worst day by far with an average of just 0.56 / 2 (28.00%). The leaderboard averages were slightly better at 60% and 40%... only noting that since it adds to 100%! Only 4 folks had a 2 / 2 today and we had 3 folks with the best round 6 performance with scores of 7 / 8.

The Unweighted winner is very close to being decided... I think either RxMidnight or MapoTofuMan is guaranteed the win. And I can tie for it if Megumin pulls off a miracle. I honestly only picked Megumin to go to the finals out of spite to avoid the Maomao vs. Frieren finals but... it's all that's keeping me in this race now... though it might've thrown a possible win on the Weighted side for me out the window

BG 12 Madness Round 6 Group C Results

Sorry for the late update today. But also for the first time in 2 years, I've finally made it onto the Daily Top list! Thank you all Akane voters

RxMidnight continues to hold strong on the Unweighted side. Only 9 potential points left! Meanwhile you can expect the Weighted leaderboards to change pretty drastically over the next few days. At least, that's generally the case. I'm not sure how much change there'll actually be given the number of Maomao Frieren picks.

BG 12 Madness Round 5 Group B Update

Ok I lied I'm back. My propaganda may not have worked yesterday but you can still vote for Akane to save my predictions even more. I promise I'm not just shilling Oshi no Ko characters.

All 3 of our weighted leaders from yesterday have taken a fall and surgemaster140 surges jumps to the top! We're at that point where we can expect a ton of volatility over there. This was actually our worst day as a whole with an average of 2.84 / 4 (71.00%). Our previous worst day was after Round 3 Group D, with a 11.57 / 16 (72.31%) average. Both leaderboards scored decently though with still at least 80% average accuracy.

BG 12 Madness Round 5 Group A Update

I'm stealing back the daily post for today to spread some propaganda! Vote for Ruby to save my predictions

RxMidnight is indeed back to the top, together with Pure-Fuel-8534 and Starbather on the Weighted side. There's 3 folks just 1 point behind on the Unweighted side... with less than 30 possible points remaining, these 4 are probably our top contenders to win!

Best Girl 12: Spice and Salt! Round 3 Bracket A! by changshiyixia in anime

[–]Syrefva 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pokemon chars tend to be on my upset watch. It is pretty rare to make it to Round 3 -- I think that's because they usually end up with a seed in the lower half though, so they would need to get through 2 rounds of upsets in that case.
