New Order March Madness!! Tournament

OK, loosely based on Oldmonkey's suggestion for another NO Cup, i am starting a tournament based on the College Basketball Chamionships currently ongoing in the USA (i.e., March Madness for you non-North Americans). (And yes, I was one of the pelople who complained that we just did one of these a year ago)

Here are the rules: The top 64 NO songs, based on the results of the "Top 10 NO songs" poll done a while back, which 90 people participated in, will participate. In addition to using these poll results for choosing the top 64 songs, they will also be used to seed the songs. The top four songs from the poll are all #1 seeds, the bottom four are all 16 seeds, etc. It'll be a typical seeded type bracket, with #1 vs #16 in the first round, then facing the winner of the #8 vs #9 match in the second round.

See the Link to Brackets picture in my post below for the matchups.

EDIT: This first round will last Until 8:00 AM EST (1:00 PM GMT) Tuesday, March 27. All subsequent rounds will be done in the polls forum (I'll post a reminder in this forum) and, similar to the previous NO Cup, we'll spread things out a bit, and just do them in groups of four, every three days, till the field gets whittled down.

ay???

I'm sure it's very clear to any college basketball fan in America. My explantation is probably a bit long-winded. I'll make it simple. I'll put up two songs, you vote for which one you like better.

seems mad to me ,,,,lets go and rock the shack!

just want you want to do.

OK, I've actually made up brackets. Ignore most of the stuff I said before. Below is a link to the picture. If you maximize the window, it should be legible and will show you the matchups. The brackets shown will be followed to determine the matchups. Hopefully there will be some upsets!

P.S. You'll note that no songs from the same album can meet in the first two rounds (unles I screwed up).

Good man! Hopefully many will follow suit so we can have a good tournament.

By the way, if someone wants to start a JD tournament, sounds like a good idea to me.

Sorry, you'll have to blame your fellow NOOLers for that one.

Yes, I guess I shouldn't have made it so obvious, eh?

How's Rochester these days?? I've got a rather bizarre story about going there to see a girl at Roch Uni about 18 years ago

It's damn cold, and we just got 3 inches of snow. Otherwise, it's lovely. Can't wait to hear the story.

My votes are in
