    Welcome to the tournament thread folks.

    Going to be kicking off things from about 10am tomorrow morning with the Preliminary Round.

    How it will work is as follows:

    71 three way matches. Each match will have a 20 minute time limit.

    Vote for your preferred song of the three and most votes after the time limit expires will advance to the First Round.

    Any ties will be settled by myself for the Prelims, we may change that to best reason from Round 1 onwards.


    See you all tomorrow morning!

    Rubberbandits - Horse Outside ; Gaga and Two Door Cinema Club have much better songs and not mad about these ones, so will throw a vote on Rubberbandits here, probably the only one they'll get

    M2
    Badflower - Ghost ; slightly tougher because I love SOAK too, but this song is amazingly dark, although I prefer the acoustic version

    1 Two Door Cinema


    2 Soak






    20 mins is a little tight to listen to 6 tunes - just my 2 cents.

    5 minutes remaining

    Will just post one battle every 20 mins in that case if the timeframe is a bit too tight.

    It is a little tight for 6. I knew a lot of the songs here so was grand for me on the first 2, but will be to the wire in other rounds.

    Little Big Two - Girl Crush

    Not enough singing in the second one to be classed as a song and Rizzle Kicks are hopeless.

    20 makes minutes is tight. I was watching out for this and still missed the first round. Personally I rather have the 2 rounds together but make it every 4 minutes. You should end up with more votes that way.

    Anyways rizzle gets my vote with those 3

    The problem with the normal format of first to X votes is that when the speed increases people sometimes skip over the songs and just vote for what they know

    I can revert to that for earlier rounds though if people prefer?

    I dunno, I nominated them so I obviously like them, ask some of the feckers who said they hate it in the preview round.
