[No Spoilers] would a March Madness-type "character duo" fave battle be a fun thing to do in the run up to s8?

I had this idea pop into my head a couple weeks ago. Now I see here there are some "favorite character" polls, but this is different. This is looking at your favorite character pairings over the course of the series, and not even just making a list but having those duos compete against each other til one eventual winner, ala a March Madness tournament. Now when I first thought of it, I say well there's no way there can be 64 different real options, so it would have to be just 32 (going as low as 16 would seem like what's the point). However as I started to brainstorm and write down options, granted I was thinking alright I'll go kinda really broad here for the hell of it, I can always just immediately pair down the initial "draft" of options. I wound up doing like 85 of them. True, some of the ones I wound up including, I don't honestly see having much of a shot doing even one round (like Theon & Yara is a pairing, for ex), but it was enough that I did start to wonder if it COULD indeed be done with 62 pairings out to start with. After all even the real MM has at least a few teams that pretty much nobody in the house has faith will last past one game.

I am admittedly not a super Reddit-savvy person (probably even more so reddit/Thrones-savvy) and figured if this WAS given a proper go that I may very well need a good amount of input from others if not even direct involvement with one or more of the official higher ups on here, so it'd be best to just for now make a regular discussion post for this, not bother to try and do it all already. It would be even more work than I've already done if it seems like barely anybody would be into doing it (although it was kinda fun coming up with that original master list). Thanks for reading!
