Good morning all. Little change up for the last two rounds. Matches for this round will start at 6:00 pm. Polls will be open until Tuesday November 2nd.

Tis the season! Well kind of early, but we got a lot of ground to cover. Starting Friday we will begin the best Christmas Song throwdown. Top 100 songs. Being a number less than 128 but more than 64 means we have to have 4 play in rounds. Here is how it will go. Bottom 16 play to get 4 songs. Those 4 songs slot in with the next 28 and play down to a group of 8. Those will slot in with the top 56 and we then go basic 64 song tournament. That will get us just past Christmas day, in fact, to New Year’s eve. I only thought to do this today so I hadn’t had enough lead time to time it better. So I’m human. Back to the 1960s.
