Tournament Rules

Post by stip »

Image

This year we will do a survivor style tournament to determine our top 32 songs. There are no byes for previous winners. No one is safe. It's madness! March (and part of April) Madness!

Part 1: Pre Tournament Survivor

There will be 3 pre tournament rounds where we eliminate Lost Dogs songs to get to the top 15
All misc. tracks (which are legion) will be divided into two categories, where we will eliminate songs to get to the top 15 in each of these two categories

Part 2: Tournament Survivor

There will be a series of 6 matches where we eliminate songs on Ten through Bin aural until we have our top 3 for each album. The amount of songs eliminated each round will vary, so pay attention, damn it!

There will be a series of 7 matches where we eliminate songs on Riot Act through Lightning Bolt, plus Lost Dogs and the two misc. categories, until we have our top 2 in each area. The amount of songs eliminated each round will vary, so continue to pay attention, damn it!


Part 3
Our surviving 32 songs will go up against each other in a traditional march madness bracket


It gets simpler every year!
