Lovecraft will face the winner of Merritt vs Wellman. Then Burroughs or Farmer will face Dunsany or Campbell. The winners of that match will face either Lovecraft, Merritt or Wellman. The semifinals will be Weird vs Fantasy and Sci-Fi vs SAGA/Amra, and determine the authors "playing" for the championship.<br /><br />The rankings were determined ... not randomly, but somewhat arbitrarily, by me. I put authors in order by my impression of their popularity and prestige. Of course, the system's not perfect; there are Grand Masters in relatively low ranks on several regions.Wayne R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04118962136054206381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377543525075660166.post-20543507579610583652017-03-03T02:13:33.799-05:002017-03-03T02:13:33.799-05:00Still haven't read Pratt's work, though I ...Still haven't read Pratt's work, though I love that artwork for <i>The Blue Star</i>. <i>The Face in the Frost</i> was decent, but not quite what I'd expected. <i>The Dolphin Cross</i> was a lot better.

...So, do Pratt's collaborations count with him?<br /><br />Out of curiousity, how did you pair up the authors for matches---did you rank them, or randomly determine their positions? Ditto for who "plays" next? :D<br /><br />Allan.grodoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800184312511280050noreply@blogger.com
