    Welcome to KolidoVision - That's What I Kol The 80s

    Anyone familiar with Surlaw will have no idea what is going on here. That is because I have changed the format slightly. I will not be providing the playlist, we all will.

    Format:

    Please PM me 1 song from the 80s, this will be your nomination for the tournament.
    Please also send me 3 countries in your PM, in the order you prefer them, this will be used as flava during the reveal, I will take the first one available to you.
    In the event you nominate a song already picked, I will ask you to pick another.
    After the playlist is created, I would hope for around 15 players, I will post the playlist and ask you to rank your top 10, as we do in surlaw. You obviously will not be permitted to score your own song. In short, if you nominate a song, I hope you will be around to rank the playlist also. It's all or nothing here.


    I have no idea how this will work or if anyone will e even interested, but let's see how it goes.

    I don't understand this bit. Are you looking for songs from 3 different countries?

    Just 1 song, the countries I will use to hide your identity during the reveal. I ask for 3 so if someone picks same country, you have 2 backups. The song is the important part, I can give you a country name if you like :)

    If anyone picks England as their Country of choice, just for the craic, we should all refuse to give that song any points so England will be bottom of the leaderboard throughout...

    Can you vote for your own nomination? Surely that would result in every song getting top marks from whoever nominated it?
