So I saw this done at another site and stole their idea came up with the great idea to try it with Live! Basically it's a site that allows brackets to be set up for a knock out competition, the maximum number of entrants that can be used is 64, so I couldn't use the entire Live catalog, but the songs I did trim were ones that just wouldn't have won anyways, but there is still the majority of their work with all albums represented as well as a few non-album songs and even a couple of the new 2012 songs. Basically you go to the link I will provide at the bottom of this post, it will ask you to put your email in and sends an email to verify, but its not a sign up process (I had to do that to make the poll, but you won't). Once you do that you'll be presented with a page where it will give you 2 Live songs and next to the name of each song is a green VOTE button, click that for whichever of the 2 you prefer and it will take you to the next song vs song page and so on.

I have made each round last for a week so that everyone has a chance to vote, all votes are tallied automatically at the end of each round and the winning songs advance to the next round, the brackets were set up completely randomly with a randomize button so that there is no favoritism on my part!

The start date of each round is as follows:

Round 1 - RIGHT NOW!
Round 2 - 4th of April
Round 3 - 11th of April
Round 4 - 18th of April
Round 5 - 25th of April
Round 6 - 2nd of May
Final 2 - 9th of May

Just keep coming back to this thread and clicking the link once a week. I think it'd be interesting to see what comes out on top as this format could lead to some pretty nasty decisions having to be made!

There are some real nasty ones in that 1st bracket! Iris vs Gas Hed was murder for me. White, Discussion vs The River is fucking hilarious though, that one should be an absolute slaughter. I'm curious to see how far the new songs get, STD2012 vs Heaven and I Alone vs Nobody Knows could be interesting.

Put my votes in, some pretty non-traditional pairings, I guess there was no true seeding that took place for this tournament? Never the less this should be interesting to see the results.

I hope Nick will not vote. You can vote as many times as you want. you don't have to fill in an e-mail adres and everytime i delete my browse history it will let me vote again. I have voted one time, i'm a fair player, but it's possible to vote more than one time.

Damn your first round... bomb.gif

And something needs to be done about the "voting more than once" thing. Hell, set up a poll here on the forum with those match-ups if you have to just to make it fair. No need in letting cheaters win.

And lmao @ White, Discusion vs. The River. One an all-balls-out rocker vs. something that sounds like a promo song for a radio station. "96.1 The River"

I literally laughed out loud at White Discussion vs The River.
Iris vs Gas Hed was the hardest one for me, went to Gas Hed.

I'm not sure the potential to cheat would be all that less here either Shep, doesn't Nick have multiple names here?

yes indeed, there is at least one person who will vote more than one time...
(4 weeks later) and the winner is....The River!!!!!! ^^

it's a nice idea..but there must be an other way to vote (via a topic on this forum for example).
