Level of the Year 2017: Voting, Phase 2 (18 levels qualified for Phase 3)

[IchoTolot]

So 36 levels have made it through to this second phase. We are gonna cut this number in half in this phase and the ramaining 18 level will be mixed in 3 new groups of 6 levels for Phase 3.

Every group will have only 1 voting round that will try to get the number of levels from 4 down to 2!

If we have a tie: All tied levels will be moved into a Tiebreaker group(s)! The number of Tiebreaker groups will be dependent on how many tied levels we have.

These Tiebreaker group(s) will come into action after the 9 groups had their voting round and the levels there will face of for the last places that are left.

Example:

Group A had 1 winner and a 3 way tie. The 3 levels move into the Tiebreaker group and deliver 1 ticket for the next phase that was still left .
Goup B had a 4 way tie. The 4 levels move into the Tiebreaker group and deliver the 2 unused tickets into the tiebreaker pot.

That makes a Tiebreaker group with 7 levels that will face of for 3 remaining places for the next phase.

If you want to see the full list of nominated levels in non-randomized order, check the nominations list topic
If you want to play these levels without having to dig up all the various level packs, check the playing phase topic which has an NXP available for download that contains all the nominated levels.

Please remember that discussing the nominated levels is not allowed in the LOTY2017 topics now that voting has begun. This does not apply to levels that have already been eliminated at the time. Discussing them elsewhere in the site is okay, as long as it's not in the context of LOTY2017.
