[still haven't made a banner oops] Evening everyone! Much like the last contest, we once again have sixteen participants. There will be thirteen rounds - however, one of them is not for most of you...
But as with previous contests, there will be: Three acts in the final No triple elimination A non-single round.
The round format will be found in a separate post below.
Rules:1. Submit a song by your chosen act before the start of each round. 2. Submit your scores via PM using the scoring for each round. 3. The 2 or 3 lowest scoring songs will enter into a sing-off. 4. Vote in the sing off thread for your favourite song using the poll. 5. Go back to rule 1, rinse and repeat. 6. If you do not vote by the deadline given, there will be a 20 point penalty for your submitted act. 7. If you do not submit a song for the next round by the time the round is due to start, you forfeit your place in the competition. 8. Tie-breaks in sing-offs will be based on point totals during the round - if points are tied, number of first places, then second places, will decide the winner.
Please submit your acts via PM starting from Thursday 5th January at 5pm.
Make sure to include back-ups in case of duplication!
It will be first come first served, and any submissions received before the opening time will be pushed to the bottom of the pile.
Once I have everyone's choices, the act reveal will happen hopefully at the weekend, or on Monday evening, and then you'll be free to send in your first songs. Any questions, feel free to ask!

I have many backup choices but I prefer to submit one, and if I don't get that one you come back to me and I select others until I get one.
So far I have never failed to get my initial choice.
With 4 acts double-elimination are we going to select one to save or two? I found when I did the "non-hit single of the month" polls there was no way to force users to select more than 1 (so mentors may choose to vote only for their own as it increases their chances) but the rest of us could have 2 as an option.

Ooh, I'm liking the idea of the first 4 acts out getting a second chance!

It isn't really different from having 2 regular sing-offs in the first two rounds, but a slight advantage now of getting in the first round sing-off (compared to previously) as you skip round 2 before your sing-off, whereas normally if you win your first round sing-off you have to compete in round 2.
Either case you have 50% chance of getting through the 4-track sing-off, the same as a regular one.

R3 is a 'double automatic elimination' round, so the bottom two acts are gone and the other two progress to R4.

Oh so I guess we vote by giving points to each song and mentors of those 4 acts have to vote for the other 3 and not their own.
But you still have a 50% chance of survival, and also if you're in the bottom 2 in round 1 you don't participate in round 2 (which saves you a song, but obviously you wouldn't want to be there).

Yes, the outcome you really don't want is to be in the bottom 2 in round 2. 50% chance of making it through Round 3 but you still have to beat at least 2 other songs.

Correct, it's a round to vote on - the first sing-off won't be until Round 4. Also, just a little reminder since I've had quite the volume of act submissions already - don't send them until tomorrow at 5pm! I'll edit the first post to make this a little clearer, and nobody's going to the bottom of the pile yet - but if you send them after this, you will

Any word on a predicta Roo. ? TheThorne won the last one if I remember rightly, so he gets first pick for doing it, then I think Shireblogger was second?
Otherwise if anyone else wants to step up, it's always a fun time!

I’ve just read some of the last contests old threads, and am already stressed out. And I wasn’t even competing last time!
