The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

@BlueHammer85 - My additional suggestion would be to not have an unbalanced draw where you get down to 5 entries and then one is eliminated on a technicality.

If you aim to have 160 entries again, the first round should feature 32 matches with all other songs getting a bye:-

R1 - 160 songs, 32 matches, 96 songs get a byte to R2
R2 - 128 songs, 64 matches
R3 - 64 songs, 32 matches
R4 - 32 songs, 16 matches
R5 - 16 songs, 8 matches
QF - 8 songs, 4 matches
SF - 4 songs, 2 matches
F - 2 songs, 1 match

on R1, is it unfair to the 64 songs that didn't get a bye?

I don't think so because it's the luck of the draw whether you play in R1 or get a bye.

It's your competition and I'm happy with whatever you decide, I was just suggesting a neater way of arriving at the QF, SF and final rather than ejecting a song on countback when it's battled its way to the last 5.

agree, it's harsh and not great but kind of means all votes really count and i want to keep it simple as poss./
 
Maybe a good idea to close this thread so we don't end up with posts for this year's competition in both threads which may cause some confusion?
 
Canada is in N.America.
Wow, but do they have any bands we collectively know of? ;-) A ghost of a chance?
Anyway, BH, I’d like to play this time round if possible, please.
Same here. Imagine my shock in checking this tab for months to see no movement, and then to my surprise today in seeing it advance 10 pages in under a week!

Let me know the final rules as I've had my 5 songs selected since the last competition and am ready to WIN.

All on there, bud.

Great suggestion
I also had two of my picks against each other the last time.
No point in that.So I would do away with that.
