Tournament of Animals You Do *Not* Want in Your Home: Championship Results, The People’s Rankings

We once again have a champion.

It was one of our closer brackets, with a nail-biter of a championship vote, but you were certain. You knew which animal you didn’t want in your home.

Anaconda defeats Grizzly Bear, 19-17

Now, The People’s Rankings.

If this is your first time encountering The People’s Rankings, here’s how The People’s Rankings work:

  • Take the champion (in this case, the Anaconda) and assign it a score of 100.
  • For everything which lost to the Anaconda, calculate its score using ‘Score = 100 – M,’ where M is the margin of defeat, in percentage points.
  • For everything which lost to a thing which lost to the Anaconda, calculate its score using ‘Score = Opponent’s Score – M/Opponent’s Score.’ Continue this for all the things until everything has a score.

Obviously, The People’s Rankings aren’t a perfect way to measure how these would stack up in a collective ranking. Votes are binary. They don’t account for enthusiasm. Still, it’s the best way we’ve found to give the Gorilla the credit it deserves after a tough draw.
