Forced voting, you can't choose what battles to vote on, the system automatically chooses for you. You can view/listen to any battle, but the system would choose if you're allowed to vote or not randomly. You could see a page with all the battles you're allowed to vote on.

I could see both of these hurting voting. If you don’t know the participants and/or can’t control which battles you decide to vote on, it will lessen the likelihood that folks will check it out after a while. There’s a lot more rough than diamonds and if folks keep ending up not being able to vote for battles they may have interest in or look forward to, I can see it being more harm than good.

A variation on the double blind would be to know the participants but not know whose verse was whose until after you vote. If you’re looking to up voter turnout, make tournaments cost credits to enter. Say 15-20
Battles worth of credits. That way if you want to enter a tourney, which is what usually draws people out the woodwork, you have to vote every other day for a month at minimum to get into it.
