Decree From Mount Olympus
Each team will have a patron goddess:
Wonder Woman’s Warriors
Patron: Athena, Goddess of War Strategy
Hippolyta’s Heroines
Patron: Demeter, Goddess of Sacral Magic
Granny’s Good Girls
Patron: Eris, Goddess of Chaos
Dr. Poison’s Femme Fatales
Patron: Nyx, Goddess of Darkness.
Why, you ask? Why to keep things interesting, of course!!
We know the pantheon loves a good contest, so they’ll be watching w/ great interest. It is also true that gods and goddesses are known for being capricious, and all are subject to their whims— BEHOLD:
The Olympian Override*
*Esteemed historian and Official Archivist BENJAMIN LE CLEAR has selected a character in each bracket that is eligible for an Olympian Override. (Mr. Le Clear’s Most Recent Q&A)
HOW IT WORKS:
Each patron goddess gets​ONE Olympian Override per bracket. Once the votes are in, if an override occurs, Hera, as Queen of the gods, must have her say! She’ll flip a coin (an Athenian Silver Tetradrachm from the 4th century BCE, to be exact):
- Heads the override is ALLOWED.
- Tails the override is REJECTED.
- Winner moves on.
