The "I've Got You Covered" Song Tournament

Tools    





I'VE GOT YOU COVERED




The boring stuff
Every song nominated must be a cover version of a song originally recorded by someone else.

All genres of music are eligible - only winners and runners-up of previous Song Tournaments are deemed ineligible (cover versions of those songs are perfectly fine though).

A link that does not require sign-up or subscription must be provided to each song (for instance YouTube).

Participants are expected to listen to both songs in each match prior to voting.

Each participant will have at least 8 nominations and probably more depending on levels of interest. Any extra allocation of nominations will be notified as and when the final number of participants is known.

This tournament will begin after the upcoming Merry Christmas Music Tournament finishes.

If this thing starts after the Christmas one, then I'm in.
Yeah, definitely won't be starting before that one finishes.



I'll join it's been a long time since I've done one of these, this one sounds fun! and I can't resist
Blimey ... honoured
Certainly hope it's an enjoyable one!



Sure babe! I'll join. I'm not going to worry with a list right now. Thanks for coming in after my thread. I have no desire to rush the Christmas thread. It's the holidays. Everyone gets a good 24 - 48 hours to vote.



I'll join. These are just the first 8 songs that I thought of tonight. I might change them before the tournament starts.
Cool to change 'em up as much as you want prior to the start, just shout me if you do



so eight songs, are we posting up extras too or not Chyp?
No extras required at the moment - eight players, eight songs each as we stand right now .... if more join I'll knock it up to a 128 song tourney in which case extras may well be on the cards
