ROUND 9 RULES*Please read everything in here so there won't be any miscommunications*
So, this is the final round in which you will all participate. After this round there will be a 10th round, but
only the top 3 people will go through. Since this is the last round, I have a special set of rules for this final round and it will allow you all to send me multiple songs. The rules are as follows:
- You will send me a minimum of 3 songs and a maximum of 5 songs.
- The total length of all songs you send me may not exceed 27:00 minutes.
- You may send me up to two songs by the same artist in this round, instead of just one.
- I will rank every single song you send me with a score between 1 (lowest) and 10 (highest).
- The three best ranked songs, divided by 3 is your total score for this round (an average of the scoring).
- You may sacrifice one of the five songs to replace the lowest score you have gotten in a round, but you must specify which song replaces what. This song will be scored between 1 and 5 and will replace the previous score, regardless of whether it's a higher or lower score than you had before. Of course, when you do this, all the rules in that particular round apply once again, apart from the fact that scoring in Round 7 goes from 1-5. This table here shows which player may send which round:
kári: Round 1 or 3 (scored 1 point)
Scorpion: Round 7 (scored 0 points)
Nekov: Round 4 (scored 1 point)
ReaperKK: Round 5 (scored 1 point)
MoraWintersoul: Round 8 (scored 1 point)
Xanthul: Round 2, 4 or 7 (scored 2 points)
Ravenheart: Round 3 (scored 2 points)
Zantera: Round 5 (scored 2 points)---
Next up; your total score (the average of the 3 best ranked songs, rounded to the nearest decimal) are the points you will always get, no matter what. However, there's an additional way to gain points, and we'll do this with a wager system. The following rules apply:
- You must sign one of the five 'contracts' outlined below.
- You must wager at least 5 points and a maximum of your total score.
- You must send you choice of contract to me by PM or e-mail, this may not be seen by other participants.
Contract A:- The average score of the songs I send will be 5,8 or higher.
- I will wager X points to ensure this happens
- If this happens, I will gain X points times 0,5
- If this doesn't happen, I will lose X points
Contract B:- The average score of the songs I send will be 6,4 or higher.
- I will wager X points to ensure this happens
- If this happens, I will gain X points times 0,7
- If this doesn't happen, I will lose X points
Contract C:- The average score of the songs I send will be 7,2 or higher.
- I will wager X points to ensure this happens
- If this happens, I will gain X points
- If this doesn't happen, I will lose X points
Contract D:- The average score of the songs I send will be 7,7 or higher.
- I will wager X points to ensure this happens
- If this happens, I will gain X points times 1,3
- If this doesn't happen, I will lose X points
Contract E:- The average score of the songs I send will be 8,4 or higher.
- I will wager X points to ensure this happens
- If this happens, I will gain X points times 1,7
- If this doesn't happen, I will lose X points

I realise they may seem very difficult, but I'm sure you people are smart enough to figure out what's the best option for you. This is a game of confidence and of knowing what I will like and what I won't. Take your time to choose the songs you send me, whether you want to replace a song earlier in the roulette at the cost of losing an option for the five songs.
As an example, here's a possibility for 'Player Y':
Player Y has 24 points.
Player Y scored 1 point in a round.
He/She sends me five songs:
- Song 1 (4 minutes long)
- Song 2 (3 minutes long)
- Song 3 (10 minutes long)
- Song 4 (6 minutes long)
- Song 5 (4 minutes long, replacement for his score in a previous round)
Total running time: 27 minutes, so it's just okay.
He goes by Contract D, wagering 16 points
I score them as follows:
- Song 1 (7)
- Song 2 (6)
- Song 3 (9)
- Song 4 (8)
- Song 5 (3)
Player Y wins 2 points on Song 5.
The best songs get ranked an average ((7+9+8)/3)=8, so he gains 8 points.
He fulfilled Contract D, meaning he'll get 16*1,3= 23,4 points.
Player Y's total score amounts 24+2+8+23,4= 57,4
