This is more a test than anything.

Alright, I'll make this clear as possible:

-This is a tournament for members on this forum to nominate artists and thier songs/albums, which will be against other nominated artists in the same way as the Best Member Tournament (single elimination).
-If you want to nominate an artist, here's how to do so:

Name of Artist

Album1 - Name of Song
Album2 - Name of Song
Album3 - Name of Song
(If your albums exceed 3, you can have a 'main song' out of the ones already chosen)

You can't pick two songs on the same album.

-But wait, what if someone nominated a artist you wanted to?

Don't worry if someone did that. You're allowed to 'backup' another artist someone already nominated. Same rules apply, so you can't have two songs on the same album.

-You can nominate up to 5 artists for now. You can also backup 5 artists.

---

-Voting is simple. During a matchup between two artists, listen to the songs selected and choose the artist you think is better.
-Matches should last at least 24 hours.

When's the deadline, and are you putting up each song from the one album? Like for your Muse, is it going to be up in the voting more than once for each album? Just curious if this is more of a "Artist battle" or "best song and artist" battle.

Either way, I think it's cool to match up songs, even if they end up being totally opposite. Like Hmmm, Muse vs Train or something :p

It's best artists, songs are just going to be linked so people can actually hear what the band sounds like.
 
Maybe we should just start because obviously other people here only care about video game music. :p

Ah, it would be cool if it were a song off. So I should list a sound for every album then? I don't think Muse will get their justice with you listing a song for every album, and not all of them will be clicked or fully listened too :p

That's the intention of the tournament, to actually listen to the music before making a decision. >:\

I can't help it if people don't want to though.
