    Hi, again, everyone!

    I've taken a nice long break and I'm ready to start up some more entertaining competitions involving my favorite topic: SI Swimsuit models, of course!

    I'm hopeful that I'll have the 4th annual SI Swimsuit Model Tournament in the fall, as usual, and I plan to shorten the tournament to eliminate the group matches, going back to a more traditional tournament format.

    Until then, I will put together a series of "friendly" matches (to use terminology familiar to you football/soccer fans out there!) The matches will be posted in this thread, and the results will affect the overall model rankings and eventual seeds in the 2016 tournament. I've used a modified version of Elo ratings based on the models' performance in the first three tournaments. For those interested nerds like me, here's a wikipedia link to the Elo rating system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

    The results of these friendly matches will affect the models' ratings and will help establish better ratings for newer models like the 2016 rookie class. The matches were done via random draw after first grouping models into classes. So, nearly every one of these matches will be between models of similar rank, and that should produce many interesting matches.

    Enjoy, everyone! I'll get started posting the first matches most likely tonight.


    ADD: The complete rankings for all 246 models is linked here. *The rankings will be updated after each cycle of friendly matches is completed.

    The first seven matches are complete. The results:

    Rebecca Romijn (52.7%) defeated Josie Maran (47.3%)
    Kim Alexis (58.1%) defeated Shannan Click (41.9%)
    Shakara Ledard (62.6%) defeated Melissa Keller (37.4%)
    Heidi Klum (66.9%) defeated Petra Nemcova (33.1%)
    Kate Bock (83.5%) defeated Monika Schnarre (16.5%)
    Solveig Mork (66.8%) defeated Valeria Mazza (33.2%)
    Veronica Blume (87.6%) defeated Kim Lemanton (12.4%)

    Also, I added a permanent link on the initial post to the full model rankings. The link is also here, in case you don't feel like scrolling up. :)

    There were some surprising results in the first batch. The biggest surprise for me was Heidi Klum's victory over Petra Nemcova. Not just the result but the margin of victory, as Heidi got about 2/3 of the vote. Petra's career high rank was #3, and she was sitting at #6 entering her match against Heidi. With this result, it'll surely drop quite a bit more.

    Sorry for being late with the results. There are a bunch of them to come! I should be posting more matches tonight, too.

    2016 Friendly Matches:

    Bar Refaeli (65.3%) defeated Natasha Barnard (34.7%)
    Stacey Williams (64.8%) defeated Cheryl Tiegs (35.2%)
    Julie Ordon (68.9%) defeated Raica Oliveira (31.1%)
    Sofia Resing (81.4%) defeated Fernanda Motta (18.6%)

    My spin:
    Two-time tournament champion Bar Refaeli had little trouble with Natasha Barnard, which surprised me. I thought this would be a closer match, but it shows how strong Bar’s support is.

    We had our first match involving a 2016 rookie, and Sofia Resing had a very impressive victory over fellow Brazilian Fernanda Motta.

    Finally, Stacey Williams had a great showing against the fishnet-clad Cheryl Tiegs, getting about 2/3 of the vote.

    Sorry again for being late with the results. Here’s another batch, and there will be one more soon. More matches coming soon, too.

    2016 Friendly Matches:

    Hilary Rhoda (66.8%) defeated Izabel Goulart (33.2%)
    May Andersen (68.5%) defeated Lujan Fernandez (31.5%)
    Rachel Roberts (66.8%) defeated Melania Knauss (33.2%)
    Stephanie Seymour (55.7%) defeated Ana Beatriz Barros (44.3%)
    Estelle Lefebure and Yasmeen Ghauri drew (50.0% each)
    Crystal Renn (57.2%) defeated Kelly Emberg (42.8%)
    Yasmin Brunet (68.9%) defeated Noemie Lenoir (31.1%)

    My spin:
    We had our first draw of this cycle, as Yasmeen Ghauri and Estelle Lefebure couldn’t be split. Estelle is the one that gets a very slight ratings boost with that result, but neither one of the models changes much, since they were evenly matched going in.

    The match involving the highest ranks in this batch was between Ana Beatriz Barros and Stephanie Seymour, as they entered play ranked 25 and 26, respectively. Stephanie took home the victory, getting over 55% of the vote, and that’ll shake things up a little bit when the next rankings are released.

    Another notable result was the continued good showings by Hilary Rhoda. Hilary followed up a strong showing in the 2015 SI Swimsuit Model Tournament with a convincing victory over Izabel Goulart here, and that should continue to propel her up the rankings.

    Barbara Palvin (86.5%) defeated Ashley Graham (13.5%)
    Nina Agdal (82.7%) defeated Jessica Gomes (17.3%)
    Melissa Baker (52.6%) defeated Michelle Behennah (47.4%)

    My spin:
    I’ve been very busy and woefully dilinquent in getting you results, so my apologies for that. Let’s start with the #1 ranked model, Nina Agdal, shall we? Nina pounded poor Jessica Gomes and showed why she’s #1.

    Speaking of pounding, rookie of the year Barbara Palvin also pounded fellow rookie Ashley Graham and will get a nice ratings boost as a result.

    There were lots of other high profile winners, including Hannah Davis (over Paulina Porizkova), Julie Henderson (over the nipple-baring Carolyn Murphy), Lily Aldridge, Kim Cloutier, and Samantha Hoopes.

    Special shout outs to two of my favorite “sleeper picks” who were both victorious: Dominique Piek and Melissa Baker. Glad to see them both win! :)

    Here’s another batch of results!

    2016 Friendly Matches:

    Sarah O’Hare (53.4%) defeated Robyn Lawley (46.6%)
    Marisa Miller (55.1%) defeated Lauren Mellor (44.9%)
    Jenna de Rosnay (69.3%) defeated Estella Warren (30.7%)
    Fernanda Tavares (53.4%) defeated Selita Ebanks (46.6%)
    Chanel Iman (66.7%) defeated Malia Jones (33.3%)
    Daniela Pestova (78.7%) defeated Ashley Richardson (21.3%)
    Esti Ginzburg (68.5%) defeated Niki Taylor (31.5%)
    Ashley Smith (77.9%) defeated Janelle Fishman (22.1%)

    My spin:
    The first match of note was #3 Marisa Miller having quite a struggle with #21 Lauren Mellor. Lauren was actually ahead for a lot of the match until Marisa got some late support.

    Daniela Pestova blitzed Ashley Richardson in a pretty surprising result, at least in terms of margin of victory. Meanwhile, Esti Ginzburg continued to impress and knocked off former supermodel Niki Taylor quite easily. That figures to really hurt Niki’s ranking after having quite a surge after a nice run in the 2015 tournament.

    Other winners included Chanel Iman, Ashley Smith, Jenna de Rosnay, and Fernanda Tavares. The Fernanda Tavares victory surprised me a little bit, as Selita Ebanks was ranked a few spots ahead of Fernanda and had some stronger showings in recent tournaments.
