Welcome to the 2014-15 most attractive pony tournament! After a year-long hiatus, I've finally decided to bring this sucker back from the grave and give all you hopefuls a chance to root for the pony which you think is the prettiest.

 

 

We had a contest just like this in 2013! As one poster pointed out, it was the thread of all threads during its tenure, so I hope this year's event can at least match the success that one attained. We had all sorts of posters flocking in and out as the event grew in popularity so please do your best to cheer on for your candidates.

 

I will continue by saying that I'm no longer a brony, but this type of forum game is fun and should be enjoyed regardless of where you stand as a fan. Does your candidate have shiny hair? A great personality? Nice, big eyes? Whatever it may be, it's all the more reason to cast in your vote and let your voice be known. Debates like these will rage on until the end of time itself, so why not take a crack at it.

 

Now, we can start off by introducing the rules. As per usual, 32 contestants are split into two separate conferences which are divided by four divisions per conference. The pony with the most votes in their division wins their division. A division winner will be granted a top-four seed, with a possible of total six playoff spots per conference. The remaining two playoff spots (the wild cards) will be judged by the pony who has the highest remaining amount of votes in their respective conference. In the event of a tie, we will go into overtime sessions that will each last for roughly one day. This will ensure that this tournament does not reach a premature pause. This rule will also apply for playoff matchups.

 

Note that this is a tournament based on votes alone, so no points will be given out if the results for heavy support is not realized; i.e, you can post about your favourite as much as you want, but if she only has a meager five votes for example, she probably will not advance. This means that mathematically clinching a playoff spot will be impossible, so these matches will go down to the very wire. Gather your fanbase and spread the word. Remember, you are effectively doing battle against other fanbase!

 

 

Without further ado, let's introduce our contestants. Standings will be updated every three days at 3:30 PM EST, effective starting from the beginning date of this post.

Oh boy, this one has returned.  This should be... interesting.

 

Just remember everyone, don't take this too seriously.  They're cartoon ponies, we're not supposed to be waging war over which one we think is the prettiest.  That being said, I'll be rooting for Octavia the whole way!  She got quite far last time if I remember correctly.

[Blue Moon 6,340]

This should be fun.

 

I shall be rooting for Cheerilee; I hope she makes it far.

Tossed in a vote for Rarity, myself  

[Akemi Homura 7,680]

Remember to vote for a pony from every division!

[VulpineTaco 525]

The lack of stallions deeply disturbs me. Can they get their own section?

Maybe some other day. Stallions definitely crossed my mind, however.

You can't ignore the colt cuddler community for long! Our voice will be heard!

[Champion RD92 8,658]

Why are Apple Bloom, Diamond Tiara, etc. in here? They are little girls o.O

[Ridley Wolf 291]

Including the fillies is a little creepy.

 

Also, go Trixie! WOOHOO!

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

Poor sweetie belle... Am I the only one who likes her?

[Akemi Homura 7,680]

Someone last year suggested I include them since they are more noticeable than background ponies.

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

Also, go Trixie! WOOHOO!

What kids can't be pretty?

[88888888888888888888 129]

This is going to be interesting.

 

Unpopular opinion:

 

I kind of expect the Crusaiders to be wiped out in the first few levels. But who knows?

Nope SB is awesome, pretty much all of the CMC are awesome.

Including the fillies is a little creepy.

It can be depending on what field you put them in, but if you read the original comment it also stated cutest, so that is what they file under imo.

[Plato's Pony 455]

Alright, here we are so far:

 

In first place, we have Rarity, with 13 votes.

 

Tied for second, we've got Princess Luna, Fluttershy, and Octavia, all with 11 votes.

 

In third place, we have Trixie, with 10 votes.

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

There should be a separate one for stallions titled "The Most Handsome Stallion" at some point.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,301]

I won't be voting.  Seems pointless to do so when there's already a clear winner.

 

Even Rainbow sees the appeal of Rainbow.

 

Okay, you may end the tournament now.

[Iudex 1,945]

Aaaand voted.

Please. Octavia is such a clear winner. 

[Shanks 10,816]

I will admit that Luna is hot but I was hoping AJ would have a few more votes. Maybe this will persuade some of you.

 

 

 

 

And I don't think we should count Spitfire out either.

Just from the votes, it seems like everyone is biased for the Mane Six.

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

Just from the votes, it seems like everyone is biased for the Mane Six.

 

Yeah, that's always going to happen.  One of the biggest factors in attraction is the personality, and the Mane Six obviously have the most fleshed out personalities (in canon at least).  That gives them a huge advantage, but that didn't stop Lyra from winning the whole thing back in 2013.
