Judging how the Google Doc "ballot" shows, it seems that if this was put into a "ballot" of sorts, you could mitigate multiple nominations from the same user (can't say the same for alternate accounts, but who uses that in Wikia?). IMO, I would get rid of the "in your fandom" bit, because this event only allows official pairings.

Then that leaves two courses of action:


 * 1) Change the "officiality" of the ship—remove the restriction that the pairing has to be canon (then we can ship KiritoXLisbeth or even the infamous KiritoXEugeo if we wanted).


 * 1) Remove the "in your fandom" bit to allow users to select any official pairing they support from any other media they may have watched. So, branching of of what C9 said, an SAO wikian could (potentially) vouch for a couple in White Album (but that would take their vote)

I'm thinking this would be a voting kind of event, and seems like these said couples will make some sort of Top 10 List. Sorry, they do make a Top... 64... List. And then duke it out tournament style...?

Yeah, this kind of event was poorly thought out. Shipping is supposed to be reserved to the fans. That's why, before the final Chapter of Naruto, you got a split in the fanbase of NarutoxSakura and NarutoxHinata (which the latter became canonized, to the dismay of the former).
