The most noteworthy fan use of Tumblr polls is to create blogs devoted to multi-round [[Wikipedia:Bracket (tournaments)|bracket tournaments]]. The tournaments might compare ships (e.g., [[mfshipbracket]]), characters (example: [[eldestsiblingtournament]]), or [[fandoms]]. It's common for bracket-runners to refuse submissions of [[RPF|real people]], [[MCYT]], and [[Harry Potter]] or [[problematic]] fandoms.<ref>For example, [https://archive.vn/iogyW this submissions post] (archived April 30th) from the "Evil MILF Tournament" asks for no Minecraft Youtubers and no Harry Potter.</ref> In several cases, fannish poll brackets have resulted in [[wank]].
