Season 1 - Season 2 - Season 3 - Season 4

How it works
In Hurricane Idol, names that have or will be used to name hurricanes are put into a competition based on what the judges and the other users of Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki decide. Once the competition is complete, the last name that stands out will be crowned the most popular hurricane name of the year.

Round 1 - Auditions
In the Audition rounds, users will submit names that are their favorites or they believe they could be the best name of the year. The Auditions only last about a week, so make sure to submit your most favorite names!

Round 2 - Judges Decision
After all the names have been submitted, the judges will search through them and will agree on which names are the best to move on through to the next round. Hopefully the names you submitted make it!

Round 3 - Top 25 names
After the judges have decided on the top 25 names, they will be brought to the main focus point, the competition. The names will be voted upon by the judges and users of Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki.

Round 4 - Top 15 names are announced
After the voting has ended, the top 15 names will be announced by the judges. Afterwards, more voting will continue on the names that made it through.

Round 5 - Top 10 names are announced
Continuing on, the top 10 names will be announced and more voting will continue afterwards.

Round 5 - Final 6 are announced
Once the final 6 have been announced, the major part of the competition will begin. Intense voting will begin to try and save names that are the most popular to the Wiki.

Round 6 - Final 5 are announced
Final 5 will be announced by the judges based on the votes, and more voting will continue to reveal the final 4.

Round 7 - Final 4 are announced
Final 4 will be announced by the judges based on the votes, and more voting will continue to reveal the final 3.

Round 8 - Final 3 are announced
Final 3 will be announced by the judges based on the votes, and more voting will continue to reveal the final 2.

Round 9 - Final 2 are announced
The Final 2 will be announced by the judges based on the votes. Afterwards, an entire week will be used to collect a high amount of votes.

Round 10 - Winner is announced
The moment everyone will be waiting for will occur. The final 2 names will be split into the runner-up and winner. Based on the week long voting, the winner will be announced. The winner will be crowned the best name of the year and will hold that title until next season.
