Now we get to the eliminations. We have 123 songs in this tournament; they have been broken up into 8 groups of either 15 or 16. For the group stage, vote for as many songs as you like! The top 4 songs of each group will automatically advance to the knockout rounds. Additionally, the top 32 songs across all groups outside the top 4 will advance as “wild cards”. 1
We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 1 will be active until Wednesday October 16th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 2 will start Tuesday and be active Thursday, and so on. Please listen to every song! We want to give the underdogs a chance, after all.
You can listen to all songs in group 1 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)

Again, voting for group 1 is open until Wednesday October 16th at 10:00PM Pacific.
