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.

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!

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

 

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

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

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

Including the fillies is a little creepy.

 

Also, go Trixie! WOOHOO!

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.

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

All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people.

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.

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.
