The New Order Cup 2012 — Forum Archive

13 Mar 2012, 13:25

Been quite a while since everyone had a chance to vote on their favourite tracks, and there's been a fair few new converts since the last cup in about 2004, so here you go. I've divvied the 112 New Order songs up (randomly) into 16 groups of 7. You get to vote for your favourite song in each group of 7, and the top two go forward to the last 32, where it's a knockout 1 v 1. Bit like the Champions League and all that.

Groups will be put up as polls in a minute. One vote per group. Can Ceremony or Perfect Kiss topple Temptation?

UPDATE 17/3/12 Group A qualifiers: (115 votes cast) 586 and 1963 Group B qualifiers: (110 votes) Age of Consent and Sooner Than You Think Group C qualifiers: (110 votes) All The Way and In A Lonely Place Group D qualifiers: (112 votes) Temptation and Sunrise Group E qualifiers: (99 votes) Bizarre Love Triangle and Leave Me Alone Group F qualifiers: (100 votes) Lonesome Tonight and Blue Monday Group G qualifiers: (101 votes) Ceremony and Love Vigilantes Group H qualifiers: (97 votes) Thieves Like Us and Mr.Disco Group I qualifiers: (97 votes) Perfect Kiss and Crystal Group J qualifiers: (97 votes) True Faith and Turn Group K qualifiers: (98 votes) Dream Attack and Dreams Never End Group L qualifiers: (98 votes) Round and Round and Procession Group M qualifiers: (82 votes) Vanishing Point and Everything's Gone Green Group N qualifiers: (80 votes) Waiting For The Sirens Call and Face Up Group O qualifiers: (70 votes) World and Weirdo Group P qualifiers: (75 votes) Your Silent Face and World In Motion

Thanks for this Tim.

It's nice to be reminded of all the greatness Neworder have given us over the years. Makes quite a pleasant change.

Keep it comin'...

*Edit* - Shouldn't this be a sticky? [Runsforcover]

Is Tim on vacation?

Must be time for another round, the earlier groups have nearly all disappeared off the page now.

Round Of 32 Draw (as they call it in football)

Draw made by Emma using numbers 1-32 drawn out of velvet bag in time honoured fashion. Numbers allocated in Group order, i.e. qualifiers from Group A were no.1 and 2 (winner being 1, runner up 2)

A few tasty ties, as they say......

7 v 10 Temptation v Bizarre Love Triangle 14 v 6 Ceremony v In A Lonely Place 21 v 26 Dream Attack v Everything’s Gone Green 28 v 5 Face Up v All The Way 19 v 11 True Faith v Blue Monday 1 v 24 1963 v Round and Round 32 v 17 Your Silent Face v The Perfect Kiss 2 v 4 586 v Age of Consent 20 v 22 Turn v Dreams Never End 3 v 31 Sooner Than You Think v World In Motion 8 v 18 Sunrise v Crystal 30 v 16 World v Mr Disco 9 v 25 Leave Me Alone v Vanishing Point 12 v 29 Lonesome Tonight v Weirdo 27 v 23 Waiting For The Sirens Call v Procession 13 v 15 Love Vigilantes v Thieves Like Us

Is that it to the final now? i.e. winner of tie 1 plays winner of tie 2 and the winner of that plays the winner of 3 vs 4, etc?

Or are you gonna redraw after each round?

27 Mar 2012, 13:17

FA Cup stylee, random draw. Tie numbers will be as above though, so the Temptation/BLT winner will be No.1 in the hat.

27 Mar 2012, 13:34

1 track from "Movement" 4 tracks from "Power, Corruption & Lies" 5 tracks from "Low-Life" 3 tracks from "Brotherhood" 4 tracks from "Technique" 1 track from "Republic" 1 track from "Get Ready" 2 tracks from "Waiting for the Sirens Call" 11 non-album tracks

Interesting choice of songs, but not really surprising. 1/3 of the tracks came from singles (or their B-sides). "Low-Life" is the album with most tracks qualified, closely followed by "Power, Corruption & Lies" and "Technique".

Are you doing a JD one next?

30 Mar 2012, 11:58

Have before, not decided yet. May do a Light one.

5 Apr 2012, 13:20

One really predictable result so far with Ceremony's win, and Temptation's success predictable but a bit more substantial than I anticpated. Close one for Everything's Gone Green, and for me the shock of the round so far with All The Way pissing it over Face Up.

5 Apr 2012, 18:04

I hate Face Up.

Time to hang up its boots and buy that pub by the seaside. :nod:

I take it the above ties are closed now. I just voted for Crystal but found I couldn't add a comment. Perhaps you should actually lock the threads once they're done ?!

I did lock the threads, which is why you can't add a comment. As they are polls rather than threads as such though, Nicos forgot the bit of code that stops you voting after the thread is locked.

20 Apr 2012, 11:29

fair enough, it's just that I didn't notice until after I voted. serves me right for leaving it that late.

20 Apr 2012, 12:47

I appear to be able to vote more than once on the same poll. Voted yesterday and then today i could vote again
