    Morning Everyone!

    And a very happy Sunday to you all.

    So are we ready?

    Rules will be as before.

    Qualifier Round of 72 matches - all duplicate nominations will go straight to Round 1.

    Votes will be first to 5 for the Qualifiers.

    First past the post progresses.

    Voting quota will increase to 6 for Rounds 1 and 2, and exponentially following that.


    From Quarter Finals on we will have a first to 10, or most votes after an hour.

    Final will be left up for a number of hours for everyone to have their say.

    Reasons are not mandatory until the Quarter Final stage, but try to give one if you can :)


    I'll be posting the first set of qualifier songs at about 1pm.

    Will have to miss the first few votes anyway, but should be about sometime after 4. I'll just have to hope the right songs go through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,930 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Also going to miss most today. I have one in that I assume is in the qualifiers, if it gets voted out I'll come for you liked a masked vigilante. Specifically this masked vigilante... :p

    Suggested foolproof method for pre-emptive voting: for each round ask Necro to consider which song he'd vote for, and then ask him to cast your vote for the other one. :p
