Song Tournament #18

Tools    





That elusive hide-and-seek cow is at it again
You won't hold anything up in this tournament as Mojo has indicated he's only holding the voting window open for 24 hours. Everyone who runs a tournament has slightly different rules, some people wait for the late voters, some people don't. As they're the ones putting in the hard work running it then they're the ones to decide the rules.

The songs are divided into rounds and each round has eight or so pairings of songs. You have to listen to both songs all the way through then vote on which of the two you want to go through to the next round . The organiser tallies up the votes then the winner of that pairing goes through to the next round and so on till we come up with an overall winner

I see. So literally just highlight, bold, or list out your choice of the two given? I'll check the other thread you have going to find a comparison. Thanks for the heads-up, twice now.

Yes that's right. It's always nice to say why you like the song or not, but you don't have to do that.



OK, just so you don't think I'm not working on it. I got rid of one song, because I've added it to the sad songs, but that still makes 14 songs. IIIIIIII'm workin' on it!

Legend in my own mind
So, is anything fair game here?

Can I choose songs that have won previous tournaments or no?

Anything is fair game but it's a tacit agreement that we don't choose songs for any tournaments that's already won one.



These tournaments look really fun! This will be my first (and hopefully not last ) tournament. I think I understand everything, but if I come up with any questions I'm sure I can always ask them.
These are my noms:
1. U2 - Ordinary Love
2. Passenger - Let Her Go
3. Billy Joel - Piano Man

4. Coldplay - Paradise
5. Coldplay - The Scientist
6. Lukas Graham - 7 Years
7. James Bay - Let It Go
8. Imagine Dragons - Radioactive



  • The SONG TOURNAMENT #18 will succeed THE 10+ MINUTE SONG TOURNAMENT and coincide with the SAD SONG TOURNAMENT
  • NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED AS OF TBD
  • There are TBD total players competing, with a total of TBD songs
  • The song that gets the best of TBD votes (i.e. TBD votes or more), or the most votes within the span of 24 hours (whichever comes first) wins the match in each round, and moves on to the next round
Why, hello Mojo I like your avatar, it makes me believe the tournament is in right hand.

I have two questions:

1) What TBD stays for?
2) What are the timelines for this tournament? at least an approximation, this way i don't miss the train

thank you

Hey Nestorio, as cricket said, TBD means "To Be Determined".


Still waiting on one more player to join. Currently have 15 players.


Once I get 16 players, this tourney is on!

Legend in my own mind
I'm joining. Will post my noms here.

I better not see certain people picking the worse of the two songs in a match just because the other has been overplayed in tournaments, or else I'm NEVER playing in these again, I swear. You know who you are and you're the reason I didn't wanna join this one.

SEXY'S NOM NOMS:

The Cars - Magic
The Bangles - Manic Monday
The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black
Matchbox 20 - 3AM
The Monkees - Pleasant Valley Sunday
Guns N' Roses - Paradise City
Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
The Police - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic

@Sarge

This song:

Simple Minds - Don't you forget about me

Has already won. Please pick a different song.




No problem little buddy



Legend in my own mind
@mojofilter I have changed SImple Minds - Don't you forget about me (Previous tournament winner) to The Jam and A town called Malice. For your information.



We should be ready to start now. Today, if Mojo comes back, I hope.
