The 'Let's Dance' Song Tournament

The boring stuff

Participants will each have eight nominations initially, this number may increase depending on participation.

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

The genre and time period of nominations is completely immaterial - as long as you deem people can groove on down to it then it's suitable for this tournament (only exceptions are choons that fall foul of either of the following criteria):

• winners and runners-up of previous Song Tournaments are deemed ineligible ... (here's an almost up to date list)

• songs must be less than 10 minutes in duration

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

This tournament will begin as soon as enough interest is shown (if enough interest is shown) and all nominations are in.

I didn't realize that SC didn't update the list of winners and runner-ups to include the "Sad Songs Song Tournament", so I updated the list. Here's the link to the updated list.

https://www.movieforums.com/communit...72#post1689372

(It will probably need to be updated again tomorrow to include the winner and runner-up of Song Tournament #18.)

@christine, @Chypmunk
