Dave Matthews Band and Smashing Pumpkins at 15th place
Eight groups at 18th place
Ten groups at 26th place
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here's what we're going to do. I will make 6 posts, each representing a different tie. For example:
Post Title: "15th Place"
Body:
"Dave Matthews Band and Smashing Pumpkins.
Vote Now. Ready Go!"
If you remember the tiebreakers from the TV shows contests, it's pretty much the same here...reply to these posts with your vote out of those matchups in the title of your post(I'll vote as soon as I make those post as an example)....whoever gets the most votes(by THIS SUNDAY AT 5 PM EST...so in about 48 hours) in each matchup will be seeded with that rank...the second most with the rank below, and so on. This means that three of the bands in the Tie for 26th place matchup will be eliminated(as we're only having 32 groups in total in the tournament)
Any questions\comments\concerns? Did I leave anything out? Just let me know!
Thanks! :)
It should be:
Queen, Nirvana, and Great Big Sea in the tie for 8th place!
Just like with the TV shows...if there are still ties after Sunday evening, [private] will be making Executive Decisions!
