I'm rethinking a bit as to whether or not we should make a competition of this as first intended, as it's proved more popular than I ever imagined it would and I would like to keep everybody involved with it for as long as they wanted to, rather than get knocked out of the event half way though it.

I'm thinking maybe I should organise it not as a knock-out but more like a league table where everybody who wants to, plays over a number of rounds and their total points averaged over the number of people who marked them determines their positions?

I could always run a knock-out cup maybe later on based say on genre - perhaps round one your favourite rock record, round two - soul record, round three - blues, and so on?

Just thinking aloud really but I want to keep as many people as involved as I can - hope that's seems reasonable with everyone?

To be honest people could pick popular songs anyway just to boost their average if we played in a league or a cup.

In some way I'd like to take the element of competition out - so that people submit the songs they actually like, rather than what they think other people might like and score them high accordingly - but I also at the same time want to keep it in because it gives the thread a bit of an edge and people mostly do like to be a bit competitive - after all we are here because the only thing we have in common is we follow BWFC who play 'competitive' football - ie we all must inherently be something of a competitor to a greater or lesser extend ourselves anyway.

I guess that people will do whatever they want in respect of whichever rules I come up with.

For now we still have outstanding links to put up for people who haven't had their songs heard yet so there's plenty of time for me to make up the rules whilst I go along.

That's usually the best way of making rules on a forum anyway!

Fair play Sluffy.This has been a popular thread,so a big thumbs up to you for coming up with it.
I'll just be posting what I like. I've been taken out of my comfort zone a few times already,and a few posts have caused me to search out bands I wouldn't normally look at.
Maybe we can all help each other to step into the unknown.
