Here we go !
All 160 songs have been randomly selected and each day a fixture will go head to head.
Thankyou to all the contributors (32) who have submitted - for those who did not submit you can still join in the fun and have a vote.
It's all pretty simple, vote by clicking 'Like' for the song you prefer!
These are this years categories //
A) A cover song
B) A song from 2005+
C) A song from a band/artist not from the UK or North America (Go by the Wiki origin)
D) A track from the 1960's
E) Your personal favourite
rules/format
1. Do not reveal your submitted songs! all selections will be revealed at the end.
2. If your song progresses it will get 4 points
3. The vote difference between each song will also be rewarded points (ie: if your song gets 10 votes and the opposition song gets 8 votes - you win 2 extra points)
4. At the end of each round every posters points (not songs) will be revealed in a league table format
5. The rounds will be as follows
- Round 1 = 80 tracks v 80 tracks
(each category will face each other this round)
- Round 2= 40 v 40
- Round 3- 20 v 20
- Round 4- 10 v 10 (Live Clips)
- Play-off round - lowest 3 songs face each other, highest scored survives.
- Quarter Final
- Semi Final
Final
6. You can vote for your own nomination (or not!) you can abstain or 'like' both songs if you are undecided.
7. A minimum of 10 votes is required before we move on to the next fixture - there can be no draw so will await a final vote if its still tied.
8. will try my best to present each fixture daily
9. Your nominations can face each other - each draw is randomly selected by wheelpicker.com
10. No sulking, moaning and being a fanny - It's a bit of fun!
11. the highest points winner will receive a Morrissey Ceramic Mug
* One kind request, When i am uploading the fixture/video's please can you refrain from commenting until both songs are up, as there is a delay for me when submitting each video. Thanks.
Good luck!
