If it's a vote-driven tournament, then by all means go ahead and make one. My only condition is that you as host do not interfere with the results. Now don't worry, that's not an accusation or anything, I tell that to everyone since manipulating the votes defeats the whole purpose of the experiment.

I looked at your blog and saw http://one-minute-meelee-fanon.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:BMHKain/Upcoming_Battle_Hints_(BMHKain_Styled). Is this what you want me to guess?

One character per franchise is a decent rule; there weren't too many repeats in my tournament. Idk if I'll implement it in my future tournaments, I think I'll just leave it as a case-by case basis. For example, would Donkey Kong and Mario be considered one franchise? Or Batman and Superman?

Now, I told this to FMA, but if you're nominating characters yourself, then the tournament will not count in the archives, as the character selections were not fan-voted. Just like the HoR, I don't want tournaments made just to wank character tier placements in such blogs anyways, but just a disclaimer.
