    @Cena , if you and @prof still want in, feel free. That'll take us up to 20, as we are at 18 now, still waiting on 5 song submissions, so at this point I dont know if this is kicking off tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Obviously not going forward with such a significant number outstanding.

    No prob, prof.

    We are at 18. Will cap it at this. Still waiting on 4 submissions though and have written to those, but it's looking more and more like we are kicking this off tomorrow.

    Songs are all in. Have a couple of things need to do, but the songs will be posted at some point this afternoon.

    They will be in a seperate thread, but will update this one also at that time.

    Round 1

    Welcome back all, and most welcome to our BotB debutants, picked up from SQ.

    This is a campaign, a tournament, as opposed to a one round competition, with a Process of Elimination as it's format.

    For this first round, with 18 entrants, have been divided into 3 Groups of 6.

    As always, this was done from alphabetical order & then reshuffled by random.org.

    So each of you will only have to listen to 12 songs, as you only vote on the 2 Groups that you are NOT in direct competition with. So, for those new to BotB, if you see your artist is among Group A, you only need listen and rank the songs in Groups B & C.

    Rank the songs

    Most liked 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 Least Liked

    So that everyone gets at least 2 bites at the cherry, there will be a Play Off.

    Once the scores have been submitted and collated, the lowest ranked song from each Group will have one last chance to survive.

    For this first round only.

    Though it will not be easy. 3 will enter the play off.

    Only 1 will survive to move on to Round 2.



    If there are any questions, feel free to ask in here, or PM me, whichever you feel more comfortable with.

    Good Luck Everyone!​

    If it is possible, it would be great if we can aim to have all of the votes in by Friday.

    That way we can get the play off done over the weekend and can kick off Round 2 on Sunday evening.

    Thanks in advance.
