The IQ Cup - Qualifying, Round 2 (PLEASE VOTE HERE)
« on: January 15, 2020, 06:38:06 AM »
NEW POLL - VOTES CAST IN THE VOID POLL WILL NOT COUNT

I am extremely sorry for this, but I made a huge huge error in calculating the number of songs for the main tournament. For some reason, I thought The Wake had 8 tracks, but it has 7. Which means there are only 87 songs in the main draw. Which means we need a total of NINE from the qualifying tournament, not eight.

So you need to vote for up to THREE songs in this poll.

I'll explain more in the Home thread.

===ORIGINAL POST BELOW===

Thanks to everyone who voted in Round 1. There was a pretty clear consensus towards the six tracks from Disc 2 of The Road of Bones. So the following tracks are all qualified for the Group Stage:

Knucklehead
1312 Overture
Constellations
Fall and Rise
Ten Million Demons
Hardcore


The following tracks, all those with 0 or 1 votes in the 1st round, are all eliminated from the competition:

Capital Letters
About Lake Five
For Christ's Sake
Barbell Is In
Fascination
For the Taking
Eloka Bella Neechi
McDozenStrings
I Believe in Father Christmas
Merry Xmas Everybody
O Tannenbaum
Let It Snow


This leaves eight songs remaining (listed in the above poll), and three qualifying spots left to fill. So, in this round, vote for up to THREE songs that you want to see in the group stage. The three songs in the lead will qualify. If there are ties involved, a 24-hour poll involving those songs will determine who qualifies.

I'm going to leave this poll open for 48 hours, which will give more time for people unfamiliar with some of the main albums to listen if they so choose. I will also need a couple of days after this qualifying tournament ends to draw the groups and arrange all the matchups. But I want to give a quick heads-up before it begins that all Group Stage polls will be open for 24 hours.
