2009 wins the first wildcard amid historically low turnout |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first wildcard poll produced extremely low turnout and an entirely predictable win for 2009 over 1979. The writeup focuses on how weak the contest's vote totals had become and on the new head-to-head play-in format.

1989 dispatches 1983 in another predictable wildcard |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1989 comfortably eliminated 1983 in another predictable wildcard matchup. The writeup frames 1983 primarily through the North American video-game crash and finds little competitive case for it.

2006 escapes a wildcard it never should have needed |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006 easily beat 1981, and the writeup argues that 2006 never belonged in a wildcard poll at all. It still gives 1981 credit for an unusually strong arcade lineup built around games such as Donkey Kong, Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga.

2005 crushes an underappreciated 1978 wildcard |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005 crushed 1978 in the final wildcard matchup, though the writeup argues that 1978 deserved more respect for foundational arcade games such as Space Invaders and Breakout. The scale of the blowout reinforced how poor the play-in seeding was.

What this is
Each row's Headline and (on filter) narrative come from a
ChatGPT reading of that match's Board 8 wiki writeup. The five flags
(SFF same-fanbase factor, LFF low-fanbase
factor, Rally outside rally, Cheat cheating
alleged, Pic match-picture factor) are set only when the writeup
asserts that effect — never inferred from the numbers. Hover a check for the
note. †OT marks a writeup that mostly wanders off the
match.
