SCORE OUT OF 50
Voting Categories:

Chises should be evaluated on the following metrics. Each category is worth 10 points and will provide a final score of 50.

1. Engagement and Activity
Replies & Views: Threads with high reply counts and many views often indicate strong engagement.
Consistency: A well-maintained dynasty that gets regular updates (not just a few posts and then abandoned).
Reader Interaction: Look for threads where users comment, ask questions, and provide feedback.

2. Presentation & Writing Quality
Detail & Storytelling: Does the author just list stats and scores, or do they add depth (e.g., game recaps, player spotlights, press conference write-ups, or backstories)?
Formatting & Readability: Threads with bold headers, images, box scores, and clear layouts tend to be more engaging.
Graphics & Visuals: Some users include screenshots, custom graphics, tables, or video highlights.

3. Realism & Immersion
Believability: Does the dynasty feel realistic, or does the user make unrealistic trades/signings that break immersion?
Depth: Is the user just playing games, or do they manage rosters, recruit, handle contracts, and discuss strategies?
Narrative & Role-Playing: Some threads go beyond stats and include coaching interviews, media articles, or locker room drama.

4. Longevity & Completion
Multiple Seasons: Some of the best dynasties span multiple in-game years, showing long-term progression.
Thread Lifespan: Older threads with consistent updates over months or years often become community favorites.

5. Uniqueness & Creativity
Challenging Scenarios: Is it a rebuild of a struggling team or a custom league with fictional teams?
Creative Rules or Restrictions: Some users create house rules to avoid cheesing the game (e.g., no manual trades, only using certain recruiting pipelines).
Custom Stories: Unique elements like coach-created personas, backstories, or alternative history setups add flavor.

Voters can post just a number and/or a number with feedback. The user should be evaluated in comparison to their opponent, meaning a score could be different from round to round.

head to head, there's not much to judge these two by. CC's nearly finished an entire season though, so he certainly has the longevity & activity over The Sauce. The Sauce's layouts & Gfx earn him a 10/10, but CC's layout is also very easy on the eyes.

CC wins this one comfortably with his starters resting in the 2nd half.

2. Presentation & Writing Quality - 7/10 – Nice graphics, pretty light on writing.
3. Realism & Immersion - 5/10 – Nothing outlandish from a realism standpoint, not a ton of depth to get immersed in.
4. Longevity & Completion - 4/10 – Not much to go on at this point, 10 games split between the two chises.
5. Uniqueness & Creativity - 5/10 – Pretty standard stuff.
24/50
