Necklace

The necklace is an award in theInternational Saimoe League, first created to make each period "more interesting". Each necklace winner also receives a poster dedicated to the character, which is made by the ISML staff.

While the necklace has zero effect in a contestant's standings, some fans consider it a good title for a character to have. Furthermore, it is commonly used as an indicator of a girl's popularity, and hence, a sign of good performance in the tournament. This correlation is further supported by the fact that most necklace winners advance to the postseason (with very few exceptions). However, a girl does not need to win a necklace in order to win the tournament itself; even the very first winner of ISML has no necklaces to her name.

In ISML's early years, a girl can win multiple necklaces in a single year. Starting from 2011 however, a girl who has won a necklace round are banned from further necklace rounds of that year. Besides the main necklace awards, there are also consolation gems awarded to girls who didn't qualify, which go by other names, such as "Earrings". This practice has been discontinued for 2015 to 2019, and is making a combeack in 2020 where consolation gems will also be awarded to males for the first time.

From ISML 2017 onwards, all necklace winners will be granted automatic qualification on next year's Main Tournament, provided they don't win the entire tournament (Heavenly Tiara) beforehand.

Gem Order[edit | edit source]

The necklaces are each named after gems, each gem corresponding to a period in the Regular Season. The gem order is as follows:

Aquamarine - Topaz - Amethyst - Sapphire - Emerald - Ruby - Diamond.

However, the order is reshuffled in the Nova / Stella era, where the regular periods are reduced to five. Further complicating the situation is the introduction of the Circlets, gems which are awarded to the winner of each division's postseason bracket (which is different from the Tiara Finals bracket).

Regular season: Aquamarine - Amethyst - Ruby - Emerald - Topaz
Sapphire Circlet for Nova Division Winner, and Diamond Circlet for Stella Division Winner.

Note that while Sapphire and Diamond function exactly the same as necklaces (with matching posters), they are re-named as "Circlets" because of the multiple necklace-ban rule, and thus, are not counted in a girl's Necklace Count in the official ISML records. However, this wiki will include them in for recording purposes as they are essentially necklaces with a different name, and are part of the seven main gems of the Nova/Stella era.

While winning a Necklace is a strong indicator of a potential Tiara winner, there are quite a few exceptions to this correlation: girls who won the entire tournament without winning any award beforehand include Fate Testarossa (2008), Kotori Itsuka (2014) and Eru Chitanda (2015).
Aquamarine necklace winners commonly tend to win the Heavenly Tiara in the same year, presumably because the candidate is so popular, the voters are willing to let her win at the first possible Necklace round. The years in which Aquamarine winners won the entire tournament happened in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2018, and 2019.
Only two girls have missed the postseason on the same year they won a necklace: Setsuna Sakurazaki from Negima (Topaz 2008) and Azusa Nakano from K-On (Emerald 2018).

Format: This year contestants were split into two groups, Nova and Stella. Each period had 8 rounds, 7 rounds of regular matches and 1 round of Necklace Match. Top 3 Nova and 3 Stella and 1 wildcard from either two groups would be entering the necklace match. The contestant with the highest Final Necklace Match Score would be awarded the necklace. The number of necklaces were cut down from 7 to 5, where Sapphire and Diamond became Circlet awarded to the top Nova and Stella from the Post Season Phase 1 Single Elimination Match. The losers from the matches were now awarded partial points instead of nothing at all.

ISML 2014[edit | edit source]

Change in format (Circlets) While the format used to determine the regular season necklaces remains the same, the format of Postseason Phase 1 has changed from a single-elimination bracket to a 16-player Swiss-system. The Circlet award will be given to each girl who wins all of her games in her respective division.

Swiss-system format

Round 1's match-ups are decided using their regular position ranks as seeds. Seed order follows the usual 1v16, 8v9, 4v13 etc. order.
After each and every round, players will be matched up against players with the same record as theirs.
The tournament continues until a set amount of rounds has been played. In ISML's case, it's 4 rounds.
After 4 rounds have passed, players will be ranked in this order:
- Wins
- Quality wins (QW) - wins against players with the same or better record than theirs
- Regular season rank
Top 8 of each division will advance to Phase 2, while the rest will say goodbye to their championship dreams.
First-placed girl of each division is awarded the Sapphire circlet (Nova) or Diamond circlet (Stella).

ISML 2015[edit | edit source]

Change in format (Scoring) The Necklace score calculation formula is changed yet again, from

SDO + 220 x Vote percentage = Final score

SDO: Combined points of your defeated opponents

the formula used this year will be:

(PSAO / 3) + Vote percentage = Final score.

PSAO: Point-weighted combined points of all opponents

Voters are allowed to choose two contestants instead of one from each group in the necklace rounds.

↑ SPECIAL NOTE: While other champions are banned in the Main Tournament, ISML 2014 champion Kotori Itsuka is allowed to participate there because the staff wants to give her another chance to win a necklace. However, due to her status as (defending) champion, she is not allowed to participate in this year's Postseason stage.

Sapphire circlet[edit | edit source]

Diamond circlet[edit | edit source]

ISML 2016[edit | edit source]

Gem Periods:

The Stella and Nova divisions have been merged, therefore, the gem order is restored to its original order again.
Number of Players:
- Round of 128: Aquamarine - Sapphire
- Round of 64: Emerald & Ruby
- Round of 32: Diamond
Each period is limited to 8 groups each for male and female. As a result, a contestant WILL NOT be in contention for all necklaces; she will only have a maximum of three (3) chances to win one, if she performs well enough to qualify for it.

Format:

ISML 2016 uses the First-past-the-post Voting format, wherein voters may choose one and only one contestant from a group. The contestant with the most votes is the winner.

ISML 2017[edit | edit source]

Format: Starting from 2017 onwards, all Necklace rounds will use the Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) format.

Instant-runoff voting (IRV) format explained

Voters rank the contestants in order of preference. (1st - 8th)
Results start by counting the first-choice votes. If someone earns a majority (more than 50% of all votes), that player wins. If there is no majority, then the player with the least amount of votes is eliminated.
The eliminated player's votes are transferred to their voters' respective second choices.
- Example: A voter has Saber as his 1st choice, and Rem as his 2nd choice. Unfortunately, Saber lost in the first round, so in the second round, his vote is added to Rem's tally instead.
If a voter has no other preferred candidates (lets say, he voted only one contestant and nothing else), then that vote becomes exhausted, and its vote doesn't count for other contestants, thereby wasting his ballot if his contestant loses.
The entire counting process repeats until a majority vote is declared, or there are only two contestants left, in which case the contestant with the higher votes wins.

Jewelry exhibitions[edit | edit source]

Besides the main necklace awards, ISML has organized a secondary gem award officially titled "Jewelry Exhibitions". These awards are held alongside the main gem rounds under the Exhibition title. Because of this, the awards have no effect on a contestant's season standings or future qualifications.

The jewelries, named after different accesories, were awarded to females from 2011 until 2014. After a 5-year hiatus, they return in 2020, with the awards being also given to male contestants for the first time.

ISML 2011[edit | edit source]

Qualifications: ???

Format: First-past-the-post voting: Select only one contestant out of a group of 8 members. The contestant with the highest votes is the winner.

[Note-1] SPECIAL NOTE: While other champions are banned in the Main Tournament, ISML 2014 champion Kotori Itsuka is allowed to participate there because the staff wants to give her another chance to win a necklace. However, due to her status as (defending) champion, she is not allowed to participate in this year's Postseason stage.
