Welcome to the Level of the Year 2023 voteoff!So, most of you will know how this works, but just in case - and so that specifics are covered - here's a quick rundown.
The 38 nominated levels have been divided into
6 groups of 6/7 levels, semi-randomly. To be specific, the division was done in such a way that a single author wouldn't have too many levels in a single group.
Each group will be voted on one at a time, with only
3 levels from each group advancing to Phase 2. We try to bring the number down to 3 in one single Round.
I plan no tiebreakers for this and if we have a minor tie then all tied levels advance. In case of a lot of major ties (5or6+ levels), I might run a tiebreaker later.If we then have a bit more than 18 levels in phase 2, these will be split up into 3-5 groups for phase 2. There, I also plan to just let 2-3 of each group survive with no tiebreakers if possible. Only in the final phase I plan to enforce placements with tiebreakers.
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 a pack available for download that contains all the nominated levels.
Please remember that discussing the nominated levels is not allowed in the LOTY2023 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 LOTY2023.
