2015 Game Contest Petition

The 2015 Game Contest Petition was started on Board 8 by Ngamer in April of 2015. The petition was designed to be a show of support for a 128 Game Contest (not divided by era) in the hopes of making it very clear to SBAllen that it would be the tournament that B8 (and all of GameFAQs) was dying to see.

Result
The petition reached its initial goal of 75+ signs. Shortly afterwards (in mid-April), GameFAQs Community Manager Krystal announced the start of a new "Worst Character Ever" Contest, but a couple days later SB added a brief note saying that this was planned as only a mini "snack" bracket and that a full sized Best Game Ever tournament would follow in late 2015 or early 2016.

With that the petition was declared a success! The news was even better two weeks later when SB canceled Worst Character Ever in favor of moving Games 2015 up to the late Summer or early Fall season.

The Original Petition
''In the 13 years since the original GameFAQs Contest was launched in the Summer of 2002 we've seen 12 fictional character brackets versus only 3 competitions devoted to the games themselves. ...and despite 10 years of requests we've still NEVER seen a fully open Contest where games from every generation are allowed to compete against one another! This is an idea whose time has come.''

Petition Results & Format Poll
The showing of support was signed by 75 GameFAQs users and anti-signed by 0. Additionally, everyone who signed responded to a poll on what format they would like to see in terms of what games would be allowed into the bracket. The results were as follows:


 * Option A, Fully Open Bracket (no games removed) - 67%
 * Option B, Don't Allow a Draven Repeat (remove only League of Legends) - 27%
 * Option C, No Repeat Champions (remove former BGE winners Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy VII) - 5%
 * OTHER (remove LoL and OoT but let FF7 compete) - 1%
