I know who I think'll score high.

Or we can post our opinions like right after the results are in and before they get tallied.

I'd love to- Oh, wait, I've already seen 80% of the ratings. I guess no such luck for me.
But yeah, I think that an ask the experts panel would be a great idea. Elliot, Choobs, Pohatu, you guys ready for this one? If we do this, I'll extend the deadline a little bit (like another week), take some of the heat off of SV and Blood (since one seems hopelessly far from done, and the other one was considering dropping commentary and giving a bunch of 1's instead of doing more research so that he COULD make it in under the time limit.)
I'm thinking that we'll also go with EP being 10 EP for being in this, 20 EP for exemplary ones (El, Choobs, Pohatu, and possibly myself/biscuit. I forget how thorough the pastry's ratings were), and 15, 10, and 5 EP for the panel event. We'll go with the suggestion of dividing the characters into groups of 16, and whomever gets the highest total percentage in the right area wins.

How about: brackets for everything, and then maybe a top choice with explanation why?

Whoo, I'm down.
Choobs' idea is interesting and I'll take a stab at it if Lee and Elliot agree, although I honestly have no idea who might be #1 this year. (Sly last year was, if not at all unintuitive, at least surprising enough that these things are tough to predict.)
I'll probably also toss in a little commentary for each tier -- why, broadly, these characters look likely to take the top 20%, these the next 20%, and so on -- not going into specifics for each character, but looking at overall trends.

Or you could just post your ratings before everyone is done and fuck everything up royally.

Oh, okay then. We'll go with each person going on an accuracy percentage, and the 1st place guess being worth like 10 points or whatever. I must say that I myself do not know who has the best shot at being first, but I've got a few ideas. I could tell the top five/ten or so easily, but it's hazy after that, and certainly not clear on who'll come out ahead.

I'd say only if you submit ratings, since the point of the panel is to give people something to do while waiting on the stragglers. If you do, though, I'll certainly allow you to.

Can I be part of the panel D: Oof. Like Lee said. Not trying to shut anyone out, but if we have to wait for people who haven't finished the ratings yet to then evaluate the roster for predictions, we'll be waiting on this for another month.

Here is what I just PMed Lee.
Top Tier: Sixteen characters in alphabetical order. My comments.
High Tier: Sixteen characters in alphabetical order. My comments.
Mid Tier: Sixteen characters in alphabetical order. My comments.
Low Tier: Sixteen characters in alphabetical order. My comments.
Bottom Tier: Sixteen characters in alphabetical order. My comments.
My estimation of the possible number one character this year.
(Once again a reminder that we're predicting how we think characters will score with the community at large, not just reiterating how we personally feel about characters. So characters in the lower percentiles aren't allegedly "bad", they're "unlikely to win".)

So, my final verdict on what is going down: Y'all have until September 4th starts to send me ratings and revisions. Then, as of that evening, I'll compile the scores, giving 1's for any characters that people submitting ratings did not cover. Then I'll upload the speculation bits, upload the commentaries (possibly broken into multiple posts. They seriously might not fight into two posts.), and finally give the finalized results.
That is the final say on how this all goes down.
