Rules..
1. Nothing complicated. 9 people, 8 rounds.
2. No eliminations
3. Split Themed/Open Rounds
4. Scoring from 1-10 points per song
5. Schedule likely to be this, as how it jives with my work schedule. Submissions in by Tuesday PM and I’ll have the results the following Monday. This is my goal. Real life may get in the way from time to time.
6. PM me youtube links if possible. If not, let me know, and we'll figure something else out. I plan on making CDs of each round to listen to in the car. I can rip from Youtube so youtube links really will work best.
7. My ask when submitting a song is to please include Album name and year.
8. If you are torn between 2 songs for a round, I will allow everyone to use a Wild Card, which means you can send two, and I'll use the best one. You can only use this Wild Card ONCE and this option, for obvious reasons, will NOT be available for the Final Epic Round.
Round 1..Kick my ASS Round!
Submit a track that will knock me out. Consider how an opening track of an album or a concert sets the tone. That’s what I’m looking for here.
Round 2..Open
Round 3..Open
Round 4..Instrumental
If there's a growlie band that has a cool instrumental, this will give you an opportunity to use them.
Round 5..Open
Round 6..Growlie Round
Round 7…Accoustic Round
This will help my ears recover. Accoustic, but it can have light band accompaniment.
Round 8…Epic Round
It’s not a DTF Roulette without an Epic Round right? 10-15 minute time limit here.
