Sup everyone!
Submissions for Manga Battle Round 09: The (Inverted) Mirror are now officially closed.
This is the voting post for the SENIOR LEAGUE. For the Junior League post, please go
HERE.
Out of 10 participants in the Senior League, everyone submitted, for a total of 10 submissions!
5 participants will be eliminated at the end of this round.
Voting isn't obligatory, but HIGHLY recommended! It's the semifinals, people, I expect lots of votes. ;3
VOTING RULES
- Do not vote for yourself, neither as a favorite nor as an elimination, and do not create duplicate accounts to vote for yourself, or ask people to vote for you.
- Only one vote per person.
- You must give a reason for your favorites. The mods reserve the right to nullify any petty votes (i.e. "I like the character" or "I like the colors"). Giving a reason for your overall votes is not necessary.
- You may leave general comments to icons without voting for them. These comments will not count for tallying, but they'll be handed out to the iconmakers with their critiques.
- You may split your votes - vote for eliminations now, favorites later - but your vote will not be counted until it has been completed.
- Vote fairly, and based on the aesthetic quality rather than your personal preferences. Liking the character/series/artwork is not a valid reason to give a vote - you're voting for an icon, not for the image chosen.
- Make sure you've picked the right numbers for your votes! The number of the icon is above it on the voting table. We'll try to check every vote to make sure it matches the icon, but please be careful!
- You do not need to be a participating member to vote. Anyone can vote, so please vote and encourage others to do the same!
VOTING FORMAT
- Votes must be submitted to this post.
- There will be a total of five eliminations this round. Disqualifications due to not submitting on time and withdrawals count toward the total.
- You may pick a minimum of six and a maximum of twelve favorites total between every category.
- Voting order DOES matter! Make sure you list your favorites and overall favorites in order of priority.
VOTING RULES
- Do not vote for yourself, neither as a favorite nor as an elimination, and do not create duplicate accounts to vote for yourself, or ask people to vote for you.

- You may vote for the same icon in up to two categories, including Best Overall.
- You must give a reason for your favorites. The mods reserve the right to nullify any petty votes (i.e. "I like the character" or "I like the colors"). Giving a reason for your overall favorite votes is not necessary. Make sure your critiques in individual categories are pertinent to the category itself, please.
- You may leave general comments to icons without voting for them. These comments will not count for tallying, but they'll be handed out to the iconmakers with their critiques.
