Season 53 nom pools

[superaielman]

If you need an explanation, check this link. You can also ask questions in this topic.

Pools close at Saturday at 10pm EST, next week. You can nominate three characters per game, but only two characters per division. You have to have between four and six characters per pool, and all four divisions must be the same size. (Heavy, Godlike, and Middle can't have six people while Light has four, etc). There are no limits on the number of nomination pools, so take your time, check to see what looks interesting, and have fun. Anyone from season 50 and before is available to be nominated this season. Reaons are not needed to submit a pool, we just do that for fun.

Not actually an Admin pro-tip: this link should link to all characters eligible for nomination this season. Check this as well. It's Hal's nomchecker and it kicks ass.
