Battle of the Bands VI
Battle of the Bands VI
BotB - BotB II - BotB III - BotB IV - BotB V This version of BotB is going to be a much more vanilla version of the game compared to the last contest I ran. BotBVI will be comprised of 6 rounds, each running for two weeks. Participants will submit one song per round. Because rounds are limited, there will be no restriction on the number of people who can play. The tentative round schedule is as follows: 08.01.11 - Round 1 08.15.11 - Round 2 08.29.11 - Round 3 09.12.11 - Round 4 09.26.11 - Round 5 10.10.11 - Round 6 Submissions will be due by 7PM Eastern on the Friday before the new round starts. I will allow leeway as circumstances arise. I just ask that songs are submitted in a timely manner and I don't have to wait up on them to launch a new round. Song requirements: - The artist/album/song may not have charted in the top 50 of the BB200/Hot100 - If a song has appeared on another album that has charted in the top 50 of the BB200, it is not eligible - Songs must have been released after March 24, 1956 - Covers/remixes ARE allowed [the original song is subject to the same song restrictions as all songs, this will count towards both the original artist and the cover/remix artist] - You may submit up to one previously submitted band if you were not the original submitter of that band. This is not a requirement. A list of previously submitted bands can be found here: Previously Submitted Bands Submitting Songs: - I prefer that you send me the mp3 via e-mail. Send your mp3 to battleofthebandsv@gmail.com {same address as BotBV} - If you do not have a copy of the song, can't find a copy of the song, and really really really want to use that song, talk to me and I'll see what I can do. Scoring: - One vote per person (non-participants are encouraged to vote as well). No alt voting please. - Each voter will have as many points to pass around as songs in the round. - You may give any one song up to 4 points, no partial points. - The maximum number of songs you can vote for in a round is 2X/3, where X is the number songs submitted that round, rounded up. [With 15 songs, ROUNDUP(2X/3) = 10] - (Participant voters only) If you don't want to give away which song is yours, you may vote using less than all of your points, and I will assume the remaining points go towards your song. 4 point restriction still applies. - Votes will be due by 7PM Eastern time on the Friday before the next round starts (12 days after the round begins). - At the end of each round, participants will receive a score of [points divided by votes]. These scores will be additive across the six rounds. - The participant with the highest score at the end of six rounds wins. If any questions or clarifications need to be address, let me know. Good luck!

Gentle Giant is a collective hive-mind that will be participating in this game.
