3rd Annual March Madness Tournament (Completed)

[popstop]

Hello:

It is that time of year again! I will copy from last year's tournament:

This is the 3rd year of this tournament. Previous winners were "Partition" (2014) and "Love Me Like You Do" (2015). 

To recap, list 8 songs from the past few months that have made your winter. They will then face off against other people's entries until we can proclaim a March Madness champion! You have until March 1st at 6AM Mountain Time to submit your songs.

To enter, Do NOT submit your songs in thread. Please PM me your top 12 songs in order. I will then randomize the order based on the respondents. 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. 

I will copy the rules from the other tournaments here:

1. 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

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. You may not include a song that was already in either a previous March Madness or Summertime Madness tournament.

5. As usual, you are free to PM popstop nude pictures when you submit your songs.

You'll only have 8 in the end, but in case people pick the same songs you've got another 4 songs as alternates/back-ups to make up your 8.

I have one song in mind already (which seriously I hope you guys listen to because it is f**king awesome IMO) but I need to think a bit more about what to submit.

I think you should be ok. That's why you submit 12 because only the top 8 non-matches will be used. Right now, I think we have eight people who have submitted to me.

[Chelsea Press 2]

Sent mine in popstop. Let me know if I need to send more songs or different ones in the event of repeats.

Yes.

I need validation though. Validate me!

[popstop]

Bumping the thread as a reminder. So far we have 11 people (once josh submits everything to me).

You have a little less than four days to submit.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Submitted.

[popstop]

Thanks, Daryl! That brings us up 13 (counting josh who usually submits to me more quickly)

Mikey, are you not playing? :'(

I'm playing but haven't had the chance to choose the songs yet :'( Gotta send it tom at the latest! ^_^

[lyhom]

oh fuck I forgot about this again

[popstop]

Last call for submission! You have until 6AM Mountain tomorrow! We have 14 people so far (15 if Mikey sends his list). It would be nice to get to 16 so we would have 128 songs and an even bracket.

Tagging friends to take the last spots

ry4n Zeebz Fancy .indulgecountry

[ry4n]

oh right

[Zeebz]

Save a spot for me! also remind me to do it

[popstop]

Zeebz We have 16 ppl now without Mikey, but I guess I brought that on myself.

Since you are so thirsty I know you'll send nudes, go ahead and send me your picks by 6AM Mountain.

[Zeebz]

I don't send them, I only receive them. Cough 'em up.

[ry4n]

Zebras don't wear clothes so they're already nude
