Thanks guys! Just put the round up- and thanks algroth for covering, just in case! Shame, you picked a good ' un!

Is Thursday long enough for you guys to vote? I hope to get the round tallied then and the four people involved will have a few days to submit three tracks for the semi-final then.

I don't get this. We have eight matches, how do you get only four winners?

[never/ever]

Ah sorry
8 winners of course. I was already working out the next round.

I see these are 10 round fights and not 3 rounds like Olympics or Golden Gloves.

I'll tally this round tomorrow, thanks for voting so far.

I had thought about doing a quarter and semi-final with three tracks per player in a best-of-three bout against another entrant and the final a best of 5.
It would mean that if I were to give you enough time to submit tracks and vote I had to finish it after Christmas and New Year, as I think most of you have got something better to do....

[Diamond Dog]

Now I'm getting confused Maarts.. take it slowly for me..


Next round - 8 players, 4 ties..... best of three


Isn't the next round going to be the final - 4 players.....3 choices per player (each play eachother once)?

Or am I misunderstanding the format?!

[The Modernist]

I'm pretty confused too.
But I'll wait and see if I get through before asking further questions.

8 players.
Drawn against one opponent- each supply 3 tracks. It's a best-of-three so you can win 3-0 or 2-1.

Yep I get that.

So four winners from those ties.

Are you saying then have two semi finals (best of three)

To get 2 winners

and then a final between those two (best of five)?

Results of the Sweet Sixteen-round:

1. Darkness_Fish (Les Rallizes Denudes) - Griff (Bob Dylan) 13 - 16
2. The Modernist (David Bowie) - sloopjohnc (Richard Hell) 15 - 15
3. Purgatory Brite (The Move) - Neige (Earth, Wind & Fire) 21 - 8
4. echolalia (William Onyeabor) – Penk (Mick Jagger) 15 - 15
5. Harvey K-Tel (Stevie Wonder) - Trans Chigley Express (Aphrodite's Child) 14 - 14
6. Count Machuki (Miles Davis) - kath (Patti Smith) 11 - 21
7. Ranking Ted (The Roches) - fange (Frankie Beverly's Raw Soul) 11 - 17
8. Diamond Dog (Curtis Mayfield) - C (Michael Rother) 18 - 8


Three ties have ended in a draw. The players in those will now face off in a 48-hour, one-track tiebreaker.
Can The Modernist, sloopjohnc, echolalia, Penk, Harvey K-Tel and Trans Chigey Express send me one track each asap so I can set up a quickfire tiebreaker-round that will only last 48 hours? If possible, by Saturday?

As soon as the results are finalized there I will set up the Elite 8-round. Because of the impending doom of Christmas it's going to be a one-track knock-out round as well, which I hope to start as soon as the tiebreakers have been completed. I hope that can be this upcoming Monday!

The winners of that round will then go into a best-of-three tracks-semi final round, leading into a best-of-five final round.
