It’s time for group play! We have 1,086 songs in this tournament; they have been broken up into 34 groups of 32[footnote]Okay, the last group’s only 30[/footnote]. For the group stage, vote for as many songs as you like! We’re doing things a little differently this time around. Winning your group no longer means anything; instead, songs will be ranked based on how many upvotes they got compared to how many people voted in that round.[footnote]For instance, if a group had 25 unique voters, and a song in that group got 15 upvotes, it would have a ranking of 60%[/footnote] After all groups are done, the top 256 songs from across all groups will advance to the playoffs!
…unless! By popular demand, we’re also implementing a diversity system! If an individual game places more than 10 songs into the top 256, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 257+[footnote]Skipping any songs in this group that would themselves be songs 11+ for any game[/footnote] in a play-in round.
We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 4 will be active until Friday August 13th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 3 is still active until 10:00 PM tonight; vote here. Group 5 will start Friday and be active until Sunday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.
You can listen to all songs in group 4 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
