Hello and welcome to the first round of this tournament!
For the first couple rounds, I'm going to be splitting up the polls over multiple days because we have a big bracket. Each bracket has a letter to help keep track of what polls are releasing what days. This is the schedule:
Bracket A: Friday, January 5
Bracket B: Saturday, January 6
Bracket C: Sunday, January 7
Bracket D: Monday, January 8
Bracket E: Tuesday, January 9
Bracket F: Wednesday, January 10
Bracket G: Thursday, January 11
Bracket H: Friday, January 12
The matchups are linked in the schedule. The source material is listed there too since I couldn't fit it into the images.
All polls will last a week and while Bracket A will finish just as Bracket H starts, I'm going to wait to release round 2 polls until all the brackets have finished round 1 polls.
Highly encourage everyone to listen to the songs. Propaganda is always welcome as long as you keep it nice. Have fun!
Submit a character from any piece of media who is sleepy! Being sleepy has to be a character trait. It doesn't have to be their main character trait, but it does a reoccurring one (not just a one-off trait in one episode)!
Being tired or "lazy" doesn't inherently make a character sleepy! A character being overworked or a character not wanting to work/trying to get out of doing tasks does not inherently make them qualify. To be sleepy, they must want to be asleep and might often be seem dowsing off. Sleepyhead behavior. Naptime is one of their favorite times. It's in their personality and characterization. That doesn't mean they can't ADDITIONALLY be overworked, tired, or "lazy", it's just not the only thing.
No character who are comatose / in "hibernation" / in a deep sleep. This includes Sleeping Beauty (she's not really a "sleepy" character, she's forced asleep; though if it's a adaptation of her character where she's a sleepyhead that counts).
No insomniac characters. This falls more into a tired character that isn't quite a sleepyhead.
No real people. That includes submitting yourself or your pet, as tempting as it is.
No fanon interpretations/fan characters/OCs/etc.
I reserve the right to reject character if they are from offensive media.
Be respectful! Most sleepy characters are lighthearted in nature, but real people with real chronic fatigue & illnesses do exist. So no referring to characters' sleepy behaviors as being "useless" or anything like that. Just be decent.
No character automatically gets in, so feel free to submit anyone!
I am aiming for a 64 single-elimination bracket, but depending on the volume of submissions, I will make the bracket smaller or larger.

Amazing result! I was expecting The Grinch to take the #1 spot for most of the tournament but Carol of the Bells was just too good.
I had a lot of fun running this tournament, I discovered some Christmas songs I'd overlooked or hadn't heard before, and it was great seeing everyone talk about the songs they loved (or hated!)
If I have any regrets it's putting Snow Miser/Heat Miser up against The Grinch in Round 1, it probably could have gone a lot further with a better seed.
I don't know if I'll be doing another one of these next year, but for now, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The Grinch powers through to the final round with 76.3%, while Carol of the Bells narrowly beats What's This with 54.2%. Will the Grinch steal the whole Christmas tournament or will Carol of the Bells claim the position of best Christmas song?
