Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence generator at Random.org. There's no seeding, no ranking, and no preference or prioritization.
The results of the pools will determine how each game stacks up in the elimination rounds, coming... realistically in early 2021.
HOW TO VOTE
Voting is ranked, but it's not super intuitive, so listen up.
You have 6 total votes to distribute.
You can only select up to 3 options.
You can only give each option up to 3 votes.
NOTE: The number you pick is not the RANK of your choice (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the number of VOTES you're giving it.
The more votes (bigger numbers) a game gets, the better for that game.
EXAMPLES
You could pick three games and order them by giving them 3, 2, and 1 votes.
If you like three games equally, you could give them 2, 2, and 2 votes.
If you only like two games, you could give them 3 and 3 votes (or 3 and 2, etc.).
This gives you a lot of granularity for how you assign your votes and thereby a lot of influence over which games can do well. Use your power wisely!
3 votes to Robotrek, which was a charming SNES RPG where you didn't engage in combat yourself—you had to deploy one of a few robos that you could customize, equip, and upgrade. The really simple system still made it feel like each robo had character and an important role in your team and I love them robos.
Geometry Wars Galaxies on DS was surprisingly functional, and it was actually a fantastic game to show off the stylus for actual gameplay. In my almost certainly controversial opinion, the form factor and the features that weren't in other versions of the game make this one of the best entries in the series.
It's almost crazy that this bracket only affords me the opportunity to cast one vote for Journey.

Full votes here for Journey which I’ve played the heck out of on two consoles now and Batman - what a stellar NES game!
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.
