Seasonal Showdown:
Do you all remember this warning? :)
BTW, if there is any interest, I'll be doing a Chrismastime version of this tournament because as many of you know, I am a whore for seasonal music.
I'll start seeking submission from you all around Thanksgiving. Talk to you all then 
Well, it's officially time - this tournament is for holiday music specifically - it applies to any holiday between now and New Year's Day. So, if you have any winter solstice songs, bring them on! 
Send me eight seasonal songs. They will then face off against other people's entries until we can proclaim a final song of the season in December.
You have until Dec. 3 at 6AM Mountain Time to submit your songs.
NOTE: Do NOT submit your songs in thread. Please PM me your top 12 songs in order. This way, everyone has an equal chance to submit first. If you choose songs that someone already selected, I will pull from your four alternates. I will PM you if we need additional songs from you.
Here are the other rules reprinted from Summertime Madness:
I will copy the rules from the other tournaments here:
There is no limit on the number of participants. The number of rounds is subject to the number of participants. Otherwise, we will go through the usual cycle of preliminaries, quarter-finals, sweet sixteen, semi-finals, final four, and championship. Rounds will last 24-48 hours. I will post the full bracket at Challonge
Vote for the song you most prefer of the two songs listed. One vote for each battle per person. You are not required to vote on each battle. You do not have to submit songs to be able to vote.
In the first round, ties will be broken by higher bracket number. For subsequent rounds, ties will be broken first by total cumulative vote, including previous rounds. Keep this in mind when you rank your songs.
I am looking forward to listening to everyone's holiday music :)

I'm assuming this means Christmas, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, New Year's and the one everyone celebrates: Kwanzaa?

Popstop why are you derailing this thread with your submission comments? Keep it clean.
Also, I don't think I'll be playing this one :(

I am going to be randomizing the submissions shortly and will be revealing the songs. Please help me ensure there are no duplicates. For those of you who did not submit songs: a) If you are sitting on any songs you'd like to include, PM with them within the next hour. b) You are still encouraged to vote. :) If we don't have too much redundancy, I will see if I can add more of your 12 submissions to widen the field. |
