It’s time for group play! We have 1,358 songs this time; we’re trying out 24-song groups this time, so we have 56 groups of 24, plus a 57th of 14. For the group stage, vote for as many songs as you like! Songs will be ranked based on how many upvotes they got compared to how many people voted in that round. 1 After all groups are done, the top 256 songs from across all groups will advance to the playoffs.
…unless! After group play, but before the playoffs proper, there will be a wild card runoff! If an individual game places more than 10 songs into the top 256, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 257+2 in a play-in round.
We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 1 will be active until Tuesday January 12th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 2 will start Tuesday and be active until Wednesday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.
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)
