I've received a couple of asks from newer followers who weren't around for earlier tournaments, so I figured it might be helpful to pin a list with ones we've done and their winners!
So far:
Best Character - Morrigan (runner-up: Isabela)
Best Romance - Zevran (runner-up: Fenris)
Best Non-PC Ship - Isabela/Merrill (runner-up: Josephine/Leliana)
If you're here for/interested in the results of the Dragon Age fandom census survey I ran through July, you can find all of the posts here!
FAQ below the cut!
Where is [x entry] this round? / How do you deal with uneven numbers?
Answered here!
How do you decide the match-up order?
It's all completely randomised! Each tournament, I take the list of entries and shuffle them via random.org.
Can I suggest a tournament idea?
Absolutely! I'm always open to suggestions. After each tournament ends, I run a poll with a shortlist of themes for the next one, and the one we go with is decided by the vote. If a theme you suggested doesn't win, it'll likely be included again in the next poll.
This propaganda sucks!
Oh no! Send in some of your own then.
Can I send propaganda in even though the tournament is ongoing?
Of course! Propaganda is always accepted. Just send it in via the askbox and it will be posted along with a link to the poll, and if the entry in question goes through to the next round your propaganda will be added to the post going forward (provided it's text-only - I can't add images to the poll posts).
You made a mistake in this post!
Aw, man. This happens a lot. I don't tend to answer these asks just to avoid clogging the dash, but please know I'm incredibly grateful whenever anyone lets me know and I'll fix it ASAP once informed. :)

Dragon Age Fight Club — Group #32 / Match 3 of 6
Sandal Feddic
"sandal has cleared rooms full of enemies often enough for it to become a recurring gag. the enemies include darkspawn, ogres, demons and abominations"
"Every time Sandal gets separated from the armed heroes during a major disaster, they eventually find him unharmed and everything hostile nearby is dead."
vs. Florianne de Chalons
"She planned to murder Celene in the centre of the Winter Palace and was prepared to fight her own way out afterwards. The Venatori help her create the opportunity, but Florianne does not fold once the conspiracy is exposed. Unless the Inquisitor politically humiliates her into surrendering first, she personally takes on the Inquisition’s party."
"florianne can put you to sleep from across the arena and then vanish"
Dragon Age Fight Club — Group #32 / Match 2 of 6
Morrigan
"morrigan can freeze you, drain the life out of you, hex you and turn into an animal. origins gives you plenty of opportunities to make her incredibly unpleasant to fight and she has only learned more since then"
"Morrigan now carries the memories of Mythal. Not vague religious stories about Mythal, but knowledge passed down through a surviving fragment of the goddess herself. Even without assuming she inherited all of Mythal’s raw power, you are asking someone to outthink a shapeshifting veteran mage who has an ancient elven god’s memories available to her. That feels like an exceptionally bad bet."

i think some people may be confused and think this tournament is about who they want to see win the fight rather than who would win in game - idk just wanted to send an ask to maybe remind people of the rules for this one since it’s so unique. thanks for all you do mod! :)
Yes, if anyone's confused it's who would win, not necessarily who should

Dragon Age Fight Club — Group #31 / Match 6 of 6
Duncan
"The ogre at Ostagar picks Duncan up and throws him hard enough that he should be out of the fight. Instead he watches it kill Cailan, gets back on his feet, runs straight at it, climbs the thing and buries both blades in its chest. He only dies because a darkspawn axe catches him immediately afterwards. Give him an actual one-on-one instead of an entire army collapsing around him and I’m backing Duncan."
"Ser Jory has his sword drawn for about two seconds before Duncan kills him. You can argue all day about whether Duncan was morally right, but for purposes of this poll: armed knight, close range, Duncan wins before the man even completes his attack."

Sten
"sten has indomitable and a two-handed sword. good luck making him move if he has decided not to."
vs. Fergus Cousland
"he’s the eldest child of one of ferelden’s two teyrns and has been raised to inherit highever. fergus would have been trained for warfare and command for most of his life, and unlike plenty of noble heirs, he is actually sent out to use that training."
"The Cousland family is full of people who are genuinely dangerous. Eleanor was the Seawolf, Bryce fought in the rebellion, and their younger child can impress Duncan enough to be recruited into the Grey Wardens. Fergus is the one Bryce has already chosen to command the family’s army. I doubt he somehow missed the martial ability everyone else inherited."

Would it be alright if I reposted your census to the Dragon Age subreddit (with credit)? I think the different demographics of the two sites would lead to a really interesting divergence in answers.
I believe someone was planning to do this before, but I'm not sure if they ever did - but yes, it's fine! Let me know if you want me to duplicate it for you to link to or for you to copy it yourself to make it easier :)
Inspired by @dragon-age-tournament, and as I mentioned working on a little while ago, this is a census survey with the goal of finding out the general demographics of the Tumblr BG3 fandom and their opinions on the game and its characters!
This will be a lot less in-depth than the Dragon Age one (I sadly don't have the help of the Keep to see all the important choices), but I tried to include the important ones and the ones people mentioned wanting to see!
There may be some errors in here - feel free to let me know if I've missed any options etc., though as long as it's broadly accurate and able to show the spread of opinions I'm happy!
Thanks again to dragon-age-tournament for letting me use their form and for their help in figuring it out <3
Do you know any other Dragon Age poll/tournament blogs? I've loved this one :D They can be about anything I'm not picky I just want more DA poll content
I will always happily rep @dragonagepolls which has both fun polls and lovely mods, and I'm also aware of @veilguard-tournament if you're looking for more Veilguard-specific stuff!
Sadly I don't think I know any others - please do mention any in the replies if people know of more!

Dragon Age Fight Club — Group #30 / Match 5 of 6
Maric Theirin
"fought in the rebellion, respected by loghain who is probably one of the best warriors in the lore, went through and survived the deep roads TWICE"
vs. Flemeth
"I don’t know how you argue against “turns into a dragon” without having a very specific answer prepared. She is already an ancient mage with more knowledge than almost anyone alive, and then if things get physical she can simply become a massive fire-breathing dragon."
