    Sorry folks its took so long , a disorganised system is basically just a mess . I decided to check all the scores again just to be sure ( good job I did ! ) . My totting up is not as good as it used to be , Crowded House and Depeche Mode did indeed make it into the knock out round safely , sorry my apologies !! . So that will leave us with 3 players tied and checking all the 3 rounds scores sent in by the voting players , I counted all the 1's each received and there was an unfortunate loser .
    final scores . combined rd1 and rd2 scores in brackets .

    T Rex ( 31 ) 24pts = 55pts
    The Stranglers ( 23 ) 25pts = 48pts
    Duran Duran ( 24 ) 20pts = 44pts
    Depeche Mode ( 23 ) 20pts = 43pts
    Crowded House ( 22 ) 20pts = 42pts
    Belle & Sebastian (18 ) 23pts = 41pts
    Foo Fighters ( 19 ) 21pts = 40pts
    Tom Jones ( 18 ) 22pts = 40pts
    Cat Stevens ( 18 ) 22pts = 40pts
    Alice Cooper ( 17 ) 21pts = 38pts
    Madness ( 19 ) 13pts = 32pts
    Justin Beiber ( 8 ) 12pts = 20pts



    Counting the number 1's received as follows ..
    Foo Fighters - ***
    Cat Stevens - ***
    Tom Jones *

    So unfortunately Tom Jones becomes the 4th artist to leave the game and many thanks to Drakhan !


    We have reached the head to heads , I will randomise the 8 acts left and go with 1v8 2v7 3v6 and 4v5
    you can submit a song if you wish or wait and see who you draw before you pick . A song of your choice just one you think will see you through to the semi-final .

    Thinking of doing another football comp.
    Champions league but only includes league champions, all european winners including past winners. If have to will include domestic cup winners.
    Will be straight knockout with no seedings.

    6 of the 8 picks are in , another terrific response folks :57:

    I will make a new thread to post the songs in now , and the semi and final so that contestants and voters can find more easy ( should have done that from the beginning ) @Minty and @Marty McFly knew what they were doing . Could we keep that just for songs please and post any chat in here as you wish .

    On the voting if when anybody exits the competition please still vote ! I know disappointment when your out takes over but with only 12 starters it would be appreciated especially for players still in the competition .

    Players could you please vote on the 3 ties you are not in and exited players the 4 ties if you can ,
    Voting is simple 1 for the song you like best and 2 for the other , the player with most 1's wins .


    Thanks again to every one .

    Could change depending on songs but for one of the artists i doubt it very much especially since they are up against my pre comp favourite

    I'll listen again and vote, there's genuinely only two songs that I like in all 8 and both are in the same tie. :confused:

    Going to flip a coin if I can't decide.

    In one of the votes i really like the artist/band, but didn't like the song choice.
