“The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road” is an odd game, and now it is represented in our playoffs, with probably the only song that has or will be nominated that quotes “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”.

[/spoiler]

It’s time for group play! We have 1,866 songs this time, in 24-song groups. That means 77 full groups, plus a 78th group of 18. 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. [footnote]For instance, if a group had 25 unique voters, and a song from that group got 15 upvotes, it would have a ranking of 60%[/footnote] After all groups are done, the top 512 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 512, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 513+[footnote]Skipping any songs that would themselves be song 11+ for a given game[/footnote] in a play-in round.

We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 23 will be active until Thursday July 15th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 22 is still active until 10 PM tonight; vote here. Group 24 will start Thursday and be active until Friday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.

You can listen to all songs in group 23 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
