February 3Feb 3 Before anyone says something. I know Russia and Turkey span both Europe and Asia. For the sake of easier team building, the vote settled on counting them as Asia.If you'd like to create teams, please send me a PM. Models are on a first come basis.Team Creation:Teams consist of four models, each representing a different continent - for example: one from North America, one from South America, one from Oceania, and one from Africa.You may have no more than one A‑model or one D‑model on any team.How Handicaps/Bonuses got assigned:A‑Tier — “The Proven”Have consistent high performance in past matchups/compsOr you voted for them to be an AB‑Tier — “The Backbone”These models:Perform well but not at the A‑tier dominance levelAre chosen often, but not alwaysHave some standout strengths but also some matchup weaknessesCan outperform A‑tiers situationallyOr you voted for them to be an BC‑Tier — “The Secret Weapons”These models:Models who rarely get picked, often due to obscurity or lack of exposureHistorically underrepresented in competitionsCapable of surprising upsetsOr you voted for them to be an CD‑Tier — “The Unproven or Unknown”These models:Have little to no competition history [1 comp at best]Models who have never been picked for a teamModels from very small agencies, new faces, or extremely niche marketsModels who historically don’t perform well in compsOr you voted for them to be an DOnce a year, I review every model who competed and adjust their tier based on how they actually performed. Popularity rises and fades, and some models surge while others start to slip... so it’s completely normal for someone to move from an A to a B within a single year. It usually takes about three competitions before you can truly read a model’s momentum, consistency, and how the forum is responding to them.Comp Structure:Every model on your team will face every model on the opposing team. In a typical 1‑on‑1 setup, a model usually ends up matched against 3–4 opponents, and a four member team preserves that same dynamic. This structure creates a competitive environment where a model’s Tier determines how much of their raw score they actually keep... or gain, in each individual comparisonHandicap and Bonus Rules:Handicaps and Bonuses are the "Leveling Factors." They ensure that a Tier C model (the underdog) has a path to victory against a Tier A model (the favorite).A vs A - both keep 100% of raw scoreA vs B - A −12% / B +8%A vs C - A −15% / C +12%A vs D - A −18% / D +15%B vs B - both keep 100% of raw scoreB vs C - B −12% / C +8%B vs D - B −15% / D +12%C vs C - both keep 100% of raw scoreC vs D - C −12% / D +8%D vs D - both keep 100% of raw scoreThe Calculation Method:To calculate a model’s final score, we take their Raw Score and apply the appropriate tier handicap/bonus four separate times, once for each member of the opposing team.Score Example:Team 1:Adriana [A] - 24Barbara [A] - 31Cassey [B] - 43Donna [C] - 59vs,Team 3:Elizabeth [A] - 33Fran [B] - 39Grace [B] - 33Heather [D] - 26After Handicaps/Bonuses:Adriana [A] — 85.92Barbara [A] — 110.98Cassey [B] — 168.99Donna [C] — 245.44TEAM 1 TOTAL: 611.33Elizabeth [A] — 123.09Fran [B] — 157.56Grace [B] — 133.32Heather [D] — 116.99TEAM 3 TOTAL: 530.96Example Breakdown: Adriana [A] (24 pts)Because Adriana is Tier A, she is the “Anchor.”In a vote against Team 3 (A, B, B, D), she must pay handicaps to the lower tier opponents.vs. Elizabeth [A]:24 × 1.00 = 24.00 (No change)vs. Fran [B]:24 × 0.88 = 21.12 (−12% handicap)vs. Grace [B]:24 × 0.88 = 21.12 (−12% handicap)vs. Heather [D]:24 × 0.82 = 19.68 (−18% handicap)Adriana’s Final Score: 85.92Why this makes the rounds closer?This system prevents one "extremely popular" from carrying an entire team without effort.A-Tier Models: They act as "Shields." Their raw scores often times are naturally high, but they take heavy hits. To win, they must significantly outscore the lower tiers to absorb the percentage losses.C-Tier Models: They are the "Secret Weapons." When a C-tier model like Donna (59 pts) scores almost as high as an A-tier, she receives bonuses against nearly everyone on the other team. In the last round, Donna’s 59 raw points turned into 245.44 points because she was constantly gaining that +10% to +12% bonus.Your Strategy:This scoring system forces you, the voter, to think beyond just "who is the most popular." You have to calculate how handicaps and bonuses will effect your entire team.The Stacking Dilemma: Do you "stack" your team with heavy-hitting Tier A/B models, or do you spread them out to protect against the lower tiers? If you load up on several.The Danger of the "Lesser known C's and Unknown D's" - With thousands of models in the database, it’s impossible to know every face. This is where the game gets interesting. All it takes is a fresh, striking face from an "unknown" D-Tier model to completely dismantle a high-tier score. Because she is a D, she isn't just competing; she’s weaponized with bonuses.I’ve seen it happen dozens of times: an A-Tier icon loses her lead because she was "nickel-and-dimed" by the percentage bonuses of a Tier C underdog. When you build your team, ask yourself: Is my Tier A anchor strong enough to handle a "nobody" who might just have the better photos?
February 10Feb 10 Author Reserved Models:I need 4 to 8 images for each model on your team. If the model has a Bellazon thread or agency portfolio, you can often... though not always, find higher quality photos. You don’t need to resize anything, I’ll handle that. Just make sure the images are large and not horizontal. I reserve the right to replace any photos that won’t work for the formatting and processing I need to do.❌ = I have the pictures, they are not resized/altered.✅ = Pictures are resized and good to go.RESERVED MODELSAFRICAAbeny Nhial -
