It really depends on the tournament you're doing. I started a trend where tournaments were all done by fan nominations and votes; I just wrote the battles. In one of those, of course the author is allowed to have preference for one character, but that preference is irrelevant if the character loses a match by not getting enough votes.

Now, you're writing a tournament where the characters are all chosen by you, and the winners are all chosen by you. That's absolutely fine, just something I haven't seen before on here. You have all the power in such a tournament, you can make whoever you prefer win. And since OMMs require no research, you can put in a broken character if you want and have them win or lose.
