Each of those 38.46%ers has 10 upvotes. They merely had the bad fortune to come from very popular 26-voter groups. Such is life.

[/spoiler]

It’s time for group play! We have 1,086 songs in this tournament; they have been broken up into 34 groups of 322Okay, the last group’s only 30. 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.3For instance, if a group had 25 unique voters, and a song in that group got 15 upvotes, it would have a ranking of 60% 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+4Skipping any songs in this group that would themselves be songs 11+ for any game in a play-in round.

We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 29 will be active until Friday September 18th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 28 is active until 10:00 pm tonight; vote here. Group 30 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 29 in this handy YouTube playlist!  (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
