It's time for the
Worst Song Tournament Awards!!!!!
I decided to do this because I wanted to give recognition to the many of you who have loyally followed this thread since its inception two months ago. Without you, there would be no tournament. I am sorry I could not include everyone in these awards, but I did my best.
So let's get on with it...
Most Frequent Voter - This award obviously goes to the voter who voted most frequently throughout the tournament and as it turns out this is a tie.
The winners are
JEDM and
Big Spoon.
In A Pinch Award - This award is presented to the voter who cast their vote when it really counted (aka when I was trying to go to bed, or leave the house, and needed one more vote cast so I could post the next match-up and leave already). This may seem trivial to you, but this role was incredibly valuable to me.
This award has an AM winner and a PM winner:
AM:
Wizzerkat
PM:
AlejandraDD
Most Loyal - This award goes to the voter who consistently voted throughout the tournament, regardless of the day, time, or season. This voter was most enthusiastic, and gave the tournament free publicity around the forum. Again, we have a tie.
The winners are
weirdalrocks and
weirdalfan1000000.
Agreed With TMBJon Most - This award goes to the voter who voted the way I would have the most often. The winner of this award did not vote as often as many of the other members, but percentage-wise voted the way I would have nearly every time.
Winner:
Mystik Tomato
Disagreed With TMBJon Most - This award goes to the voter who voted the opposite way I would have most often.
Winner:
The Doctor
Healthy Dissent Award - This is the award for the voter who voted the opposite way of the consensus of the forum most often, for better or worse. This award holds a special place in my heart as I would have most likely won this award if it was presented during the Best Song Tournament 2.0.
Winner:
Bruce the Duck
One Track Mind Award - This award goes to a voter who apparently joined this forum exclusively to vote in this tournament exactly twice, and has not posted on the forum in any other capacity.
Winner:
bandergrove
One Vote Wonder Award - This award goes to a voter who voted exactly once the entire tournament. Maybe twice. I would know for sure if the search function of this forum worked in any meaningful capacity.
Winner:
weirdalisthephantomoftheopera
WOWAY Validation Award - This award goes to the voters whose participation validated the tournament within the world of the WOWAY forum, due to his (or her) stature within the community.
Winner:
anthontherun
Most Creative Voter - This award goes to the voter who voted in the most creative manner.
Winner:
Elvis, for his creative use of smilies.
Best Rationale - This award goes to the voter who gave the best reasoning for why they were voting the way they did, a trait I value highly.
Winner:
ludovica64
Most Likely to Appreciate This Tournament - This award goes to the voter who, based on what we know about the person, is most likely to appreciate the concept of rating and judging which of Weird Al's songs are the absolute worst. This person embodies the very spirit of the Worst Song Tournament.
Winner:
Not A Weird Al Fan
The Decider Award - This award goes to the voter who, as it turns out, often cast the vote that broke the most ties, decided the most close calls, and - by extension - decided the fate of the tournament.
Winner:
weird_el
