*basically during the nominations stage people can suggest settings a companion might come from (for example victorian Wales, ancient Skaro, a space station a billion years in the future) as well as any characters they want to see included. Settings will then be randomly paired up with characters so they don't match their original origins. I'll also attempt to come up with a plan for nominating a specific setting with a specific character.

for the first time in actual years I have managed to list all ideas for future tournaments in one poll. now seems like a good time to mention that I am always open to suggestions for future tournaments. so if you have any companion tournaments you want to see (but don't want to run) please send them to @companion-showdown-dot-org, just because I post so much on here will not be able to find your suggestion again if you send them here. (I will take suggestions sent to this blog, but it is not ideal)
