Any currently running rounds will be the last two in the list below. (Unless I forget to update it, basically you're better off checking the P/S board)
That's right folks, the second iteration of the six-month extravaganza known to the English-speaking world (and most of the rest) as Dream Theater: The League has been brought off the ice of forum relinquishment where it lay, and resumes with Week 2-B.
For those of you who are unaware of it, DT: The League is an extended, multi-round poll in which every Dream Theater song of any report is pitted against each other and you pick your favourite in each match-up. "Well what is the point?" I anticipate you thinking. "
What can money buy? What's wrong with the Survivor?" To quote Destiny of Chaos, the guy who originally ran this:
In 2005, I unleashed hell on the Polls & Survivors forum. I did many different Survivors. I even started the DT Survivor that has been ran every year since by either myself, Splent or Ariich, as well as the Member Tournament that Nick has since taken over.
After doing a few survivors, I felt that there was a better way.... a more fun way, a more positive way. For in survivors, you are constantly voting for your least favorite songs. Also, unless a song made it to the finals or the consolation round, you'd never see it against songs from different albums.
I thought, what would happen if I came up with a season, where a song like Home would match up against a song like Scarred. Or a song like You Not Me matched up against a song like Light Fuse and Get Away. After the grueling season, a 64 song tournament ensued. All the while.... we got to choose our FAVORITE of the two songs.
Numbers and stuffThe first phase of the competition runs for twenty rounds lasting one round each in which every song is randomly matched up against another. Of the ninety-two songs in the competition, thirty each are matched up in sub-rounds A, B and C, which start on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of each week respectively and last for 48 hours. The last two as sort-of chosen by me will be played off over Thursday and Friday in the Match of the Week. If you really don't have the time to take part in any of the rest, at least have a go at the Match of the Week, guaranteed to be interesting and competitive! (Week 20 is likely to be Raw Dog vs You Not Me, so all you YNM apologist have something to look forward to.)
DT: The League then will be back with a final round, in which songs which end up consecutive on the rankings (which will be determined at the end of this round) face off against each other until an equilibrium is reached and a final list is produced.
