"Congratulations on your victory in Thrashy's unofficial March Madness conclusion, Applejack. You rock! But in all the turmoil surrounding the end of the official tournament, it seems to have been overlooked that I received the most individual votes in the four way battle."

Actual scoring. A vote for all gives two points to all, a vote for a single pony gives half a point. Of course, this was done to give All Characters the most points. It doesn't change the standings of the individual vote recipients at all.

OK, maybe I'm grasping at straws here. The people who voted for ALL CHARACTERS could have drastically changed the complexion of this match if they went with their original ponies. But let's give our favorite pink-maned pegasus a nice round of applause anyway. SQUEE!
