Welcome one and all to the first-ever HAVEN WORLD CUP!
Entries are now open! To enter, post below or send me a PM.
The competition works like this:
There will be 16 participants, who will be split into four groups of four. This will be drawn at random. Each participant will choose three songs to play in the group stage, going head-to-head against someone in their group. Scoring is based on everyone voting on the 16 songs put forward for that round.
Example:
Participant A's song scores 200 points.
Participant B's song scores 150 points.
Participant C's song scores 100 points.
If Participant A is facing Participant B, A wins as they have a higher score. However, if Participant B is facing Participant C, B wins.
Who has chosen which song won't be revealed until the scores are announced for each round.
The winner of each match is awarded three points for the standings, with the loser receiving nothing. In the unlikely event of a draw, both participants are awarded one point. The top two in each group after everyone in the group has faced each other will progress to the knockout stages. If two or more participants are tied in the standings, total points scored across the three matches will be used as the tie-breaker.
The knockout stages will work the same way, except there will be fewer songs. When we get to the final, each particpant will choose two songs, with the combined points totals being used to determine the winner.
Each participant must choose three songs to play in the group stage, in the order they are to be played. In order to keep the competition flowing and avoid any unnecessary delays, these three songs must be submitted at the same time. There is no limit on what you can choose - you can select ANY song as long as it hasn't been chosen by someone else. Want to pick 'White Christmas'? Go for it! Want to see how "The Cheeky Song" will fair? Knock yourself out! Want to pick something that was released yesterday? Now's your chance! If your song has already been chosen, you will be asked to select another, as well as whether you want to use the song for your first, second or third match.
The draw will take place once we reach 16 entries. After the draw, the window for submitting songs for the group stage will open. The window for submitting songs for the knockout stage will open when we reach the last set of group matches.
I'm hoping get things in place in time for the first set of 16 songs to go up after the Lingovision results have been revealed. I intend for each round to last a week, meaning the competition will last six weeks from start to finish, though the latter stages could potentially be shorter due to there being fewer songs.
To recap:
In order to take part you will need to choose an initial three songs, rising to seven if you manage to make the final.
You can choose any song you want, as long as someone else hasn't chosen it first.
Do not send your songs yet. Any that are sent will be ignored and you will have to send them again when the window for submitting songs is open.
Any questions, ask away.
