The X Factor Rankdown

[*Chris]

X-Factor is the latest show to join the rankdown phenomenon!  This music competition created by Simon Cowell has aired in more than 55 countries.

And now, with over 190 winners around the world, Idolforums will crown one artist as the ultimate winner! 

 

To do so, we will have a predetermined number of mentors who will play an important role in crowning the ultimate winner.

The eventual winner will have to be last one standing, among artists from the X Factor UK, US, and Australia.

In the end, we will find out which singer or group has the X Factor! 

 

THE MENTORS:

 

Alvaro Soler (Steven)

 

 

Britney Spears (JC)

 

 

Dannii Minogue (Tom)

 

 Demi Lovato (Elliott)

 

   Guy Sebastian (Solaris)

 

 

  Mel B (Victoria) 
 

 
Nicole Scherzinger (Wally)

 

  

Natalia Kills (Nico) 
 

Tulisa (Zoey) 
  

THE RULES :

•  We will have a predetermined amount of mentors that will embark on a mission to collectively rank every contestant from X Factor UK, US, Australia. 
• At the beginning of the round random.org will determine the order the rankers will nominate. Whoever is chosen to nominate first will nominate a predetermined amount of contestants and the other menotrs will have 24 hours to save one and eliminate one. To eliminate and save once the nominations have been revealed, it's first come first serve so get to it fast!
• Since this is a ranking you should have a writeup prepared for whoever you're cutting to explain your reasoning (they don't have to be too long, I expect just a minimum of 100 words). And each writeup should include a video, a picture, or a gif! 
• After decisions have been made on those contestants, the next mentor on random.org will do the same thing, nominate a predetermined number of contestants (you can not nominate anyone who was just saved in the last set of cuts though) and the other mentors will save one and eliminate one. We will cycle through all the rankers until they have nominated and then the round will end.
• At the beginning of each new round, I will reveal a pre-planned twist to the round, and we will also create a new nominating order from random.org when necessary. 
• Once the nominations are posted you will have 24 hours to make your cut and save. If you do not make your cut in time (unless you tell me you're going to be away) you will get a strike and whoever made the nominations can make the cut and save. Three strikes and you're out and I get to name a new ranker in your place.
• If you wanna get your cut in right when you see the nominations and wanna take time for your write-up, you can post who you're cutting and saving and then you'll have half an hour to make a new post with your write-up. However, the contestants is back up for grabs if you take too long to edit. When I say half an hour, I mean 30 minutes. If you make your cut and save at 12:15, you have until 12:45 to post your writeup. Another ranker cannot swoop in and take your cut and save until 12:46! YOU CAN RESET YOUR TIME ONLY ONCE IF YOU ARE WORKING ON YOUR WRITEUP FOR A LONG TIME
• Make sure all your nominees are within the confines of the twists and the rules of the game (i.e. no one who has already been eliminated or was saved last round are among your nominees). If this rule is broken, I'm afraid the round resets and you will have to completely renominate.
• THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EDITING ALLOWED ON YOUR POST WHEN YOU ARE CUTTING AND SAVING. IF YOU EDIT THAT POST FOR ANY REASON AT ALL, YOUR CUT AND SAVE IS NULL AND VOID! 
• Last but not least, respect each other’s opinions - they are called opinion for a reason. #NoDrama
