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.
