Song Tournament #12
 
Song Tournament #12


PLEASE NOTE: THIS HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A MEGA-TOURNAMENT, SO EVERYONE CAN START BY NOMINATING 16 SONGS!

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images.../b-t8WN8F.jpeg

This is going to be a general song tournament, so every genre is acceptable. All I ask is that we try to keep the metal music to a minimum, but as I stated in my previous post, this isn't a "rule". It's just a "request". I think we need at least eight people for this to work well, so hopefully enough people will be interested in joining. I'll give people enough time to sign up and pick their song nominations.


Rules:
All genres are eligible, with no limitations on genre, themes, etc. The only songs that aren't eligible are previous tournament winners and songs that are over 10 minutes long.

I think it's safe to assume that everyone will be able to nominate at least eight songs, so you can start posting your nominations as soon as you join the tournament. Please keep your nominations in one post. You can edit your nominations up until the time the nominations close, but please make a new post to let everyone know that your nominations have changed.

Any song is allowed as long as you can provide a link to it. Everyone uses YouTube, but you can also link from Grooveshark and those types of sites if you prefer, as long as they don't require anyone to sign up for the site to listen to the song.

To be fair to everyone, you must listen to both songs to vote. You must vote from the beginning of the tournament to continue voting throughout the tournament. Unless a tie-breaking vote is requested, anyone who hasn't voted consistently will not be allowed to vote in the final rounds.

If you have any questions, please ask.

We usually start with 8 songs each and then see how many more we need based on how many people join.

I noticed that CR already posted 12 songs, so does everyone want to post 8 songs, plus 4 alternates that we can use if we need them?
