The "I've Got You Covered" Song Tournament

Tools    





Nothing much to understand really - there'll be no ties needing breaking in this one if I can help it
Can't wait to see how what I've planned for deciding the winner of this tournament goes down
I think I understand why you don't want tie breaking, and you're a good man to volunteer to set it out

I do have a possible solution that might workout, or maybe it's too much work, but:
What if you took all the ties and remixed the pairings and then we voted on them in another round? Call it a remix round. Could that work?
