I think it would be a tie if that happened.

I’m happy enough to make it winner takes all though. Or two songs each. Or basically whatever.

Yes you are quite right, I have a rule for if the teams are tied it comes down to who got the most points in the final round, so in that case it would be Jem so it is winner takes all!

This would be more palatable than just making up rules as you go along.

Sorry Findus Fop you have been eliminated, please can you pick a theme from the following list:

Dirty, dirty songs
TOYST
57 Varieties
Music to Eat Burgers to
Drunk in Charge of Machinery
Bin Day
Allegory of the Cave
Richard III by Supergrass
Stuart Campbell

I will then choose something to go with it.

Thanks

Thanks for organising it all, malc. I would like to pick Stuart Campbell please

Then, I think I will pick Bin Day to complement that. @Jem and @curiosity please can you pick two songs with the theme: Stuart Campbell's Bin Day and let me know what they are please.

I must admit I'm looking forward to Antidote's rendition of that!

Stuart Campbell’s bin day.

Ooooookay.

Yay! Well done Jem!

No idea how you managed that :DD

Curiosity · **Posted:** Mon Sep 28, 2020 11:05

Well done, Jem!

Kern · **Posted:** Mon Sep 28, 2020 11:09

Congratulations Jem!

And thanks Malc for organising a great contest and opening up a load of great music and artists I'd not come across before.

Indeed, congrats Jem and many thanks to Malc to creating such a fun contest. Snooping on the Beex Quiz thread, I now realise the mind-bending scoring algorithms are to be expected.

Jem · **Posted:** Mon Sep 28, 2020 11:52

You could knock me over with a feather! Considering I was the one who was late week on week because I was utterly failing to think of anything (or just plain forgetting) it's a bloody miracle

Congrats Jem and thank you Malc for creating the most Kafkaesque yet Brechtian competition known to mankind

Wait until you see season 2! coming in 2021!

Plenty of scope for a penalty system, with stewards enquiries and player representation.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Sep 28, 2020 11:59

With wild cards that you can discard a round if you have a poor week.

And rounds where you have to sing the song yourself (I may have skin in this game)

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22405

Jokers where you can play for double points.
Veto, where you can stop someone from getting any points that round

Brexit, which you can play in order to ruin the game for everyone.

Be Excellent To Each Other
