Template:Isml 2011 noms

Rules
How to nominate
 * nominations will last from 2011 February 6-13, both at 00:00 UTC
 * Female characters only
 * Nominees can appear in any released anime, including currently-airing series at the time of nominations (i.e. Is This A Zombie?).
 * To nominate a character, simply type its name AND its series. Name order / spelling / language / aliases don't matter as long as it's clear who you're referring to.
 * Each voter is given a ballot with 32 entries.
 * Ballots must fulfill several important conditions in order for their nominations to be counted; failure to meet all of them will result in a voided ballot, i.e. Not counted.
 * Must nominate at least four (4) girls
 * Must represent at least three (3) anime series (spin-offs and crossovers do NOT count as separate series)
 * Invalid entries are discarded independently and will NOT void your entire ballot unless it fails to meet any minimum requirements above.
 * 96 girls with the most nomination votes will qualify for the preliminaries (144 prelim spots subtracted by 48 direct invites)
 * In a tie for last place, the ISML staff will choose who qualifies; girls who haven't appeared in ISML's main tournament or preliminaries will be prioritized.

Direct Invites
The following girls are already qualified for the preliminary rounds, thus they do not need to be nominated again. A total of 48 girls were automatically qualified. If a girl has multiple qualifications, she will only appear in the earliest instance of this list.
 *  ISML 2010: Necklace winners, and girls with at least 73.5 or more points after the regular season
 *  Saimoe 2010: Group finalists (top 24 round)
 *  KBM 2010 Top 24 girls in final ranking (see below)

 * The rankings are based on assumptions by ISML Forum user Shmion84 in his thread, as data from the official Anizone website has become inaccessible due to the site's shutdown.
 * (1) Latest round
 * (2) Points
 * Earned in the entire tournament, including preliminary rounds
 * Girls earn (100 - [Place]) points after every match
 * Which means in a 1v1 match, the winner gains 100-1 = 99 points, and the loser gains 100-2 = 98.
 * (3) Votes in the Main Event (top 96 onward)

Results
New nominees are labeled in bold.

Disallowed
These listed characters were disallowed in the tournament for various reasons, but managed to get nomination votes anyway. Direct invites are not included in this list.
 * Athena Tennousu @ Hayate the Combat Butler - 148 votes
 * Deemed ineligible because her appearance in a flashback scene in the anime's season 2 episode 10 doesn't count. Athena would make her official animated debut in season 4, which aired two years after this tournament.
 * Hideyoshi Kinoshita @ Baka and Test - 110 votes
 * Come on, man
 * Hatsune Miku @ Vocaloid - 58 votes
 * Declared invalid because she originates from a line of voice synthesizer software, and has not appeared in any anime where she either has ample screentime, or plays a significant role in its plot. While Miku has made appearances in 2channel and Anizone saimoe tournaments in 2008 because of a cameo appearance in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, the ISML staff considers those appearances insufficient.
