Unacclaimed VII: Heats, Week 12

Post by Bang Jan »

This is the last week of heats BTW.

The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of four songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 4 points, second gets 3 etc.

The song with the most points in each set will advance to the semi-finals. If there is a tie for points, then the song with more first place votes will advance. If they are tied on first place votes as well, there will be a sudden death tiebreak. Also the six highest scoring non-winners in the heat stage (based off point per voter and then percentage of first place votes) will also advance to the semi-finals.

Feel free to ask any questions, deadline is next Wednesday at 21:00 UTC.

I haven't listened to this week's songs yet, but now I'm really curious to hear "Mr. Bass Man." :?

I must say, I did not expect "Mr. Bass Man" to go over quite this poorly... I learned about the song from The Muppet Show, should I have nominated that version instead?
