Current Bubble: 41.67%
Projected Final Bubble: 41.67%
With more-or-less 1 and a half groups to go, we’ve reached the point where the current bubble is the same as the projected one. I feel pretty confident that most if not all songs on the 41.67 line will get to the playoffs one way or another, but lower than that gets real dicey. (And if your favorite 41.67 finds itself on the wrong side of the line today, don’t sweat it! The final order isn’t rng’d until after the last round sets)
[/spoiler]
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. 2For instance, if a group had 25 unique voters, and a song from that group got 15 upvotes, it would have a ranking of 60% After all groups are done, the top 384 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 384, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 385+3Skipping any songs that would themselves be song 11+ for a given game in a play-in round.
We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 56 will be active until Tuesday March 30th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 57 will start Tuesday and be active until Wednesday. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.
You can listen to all songs in group 56 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
