If I could make a suggestion Morningrise, I would increase the time to vote for each round, especially in the first round here. Yes, it would absolutely drag this on longer, but if you're looking to expose people to new music a longer time might make it more worthwhile. Let's face it, you're putting a lot of work into this, a couple of extra days for each heat will give you the chance to expose more people to the music. As it is now, if I have a busy day today, then I've missed the chance to vote in the first round. More time = more exposure which seems to be the main purpose behind this iteration of the World Cup. Just my two cents.

Actually, at the end of the other WC, I proposed that exact same idea, not as a tiebreaker, but as a way to give extra votes to the band whose questions were correctly answered first. Most people hated my idea so I didn't put it in practise . Of course it was a different scenario, since the tournament was on its last stages, and perhaps people didn't want anything to change.
But now that the tournament is just beginning, I think it could work.
Anyway, keep those ideas coming. I'll take them into consideration.

Hey Roland113! Long time no seeing. I hope you can actively participate on this WC as you did on the last one.
It's true. Perhaps 1 or 2 days more for each match would be more appropiate. To avoid possible problems, I won't change the deadline for THIS match. But for the next ones I'll try to make them last 4 or 5 days.
The only thing I fear about this is that after a couple of days, if the different polls are not discussed, they will fall into the 2nd or 3rd page, and remain there without people knowing of their existance until the end of each battle where I would announce the winner.

While I like the idea of extending the deadlines, a faster pace can bring more excitement to the proceedings. And with all of the other contests going on, unless they're bumped quite a bit, they could quickly fall of the page and be neglected. I was hoping that the popularity poll through the years one, for instance, would be much faster paced, but then I don't think that the aim of that is, as much as this one, about exposing people to music. |

In case of a tie just add one day not two, if the tie continues add another day, I believe this will work fine.

If the time for voting will be so short, then surely enough I'll loose ti oportunity to vote in many polls. Perhaps even more than half.

At last I got to give a listen to this songs. Not really my thing, though I thought Factor Burzaco was somewhat better. Hopefully I'll find something more interesting in other polls.

My first instinct was right, I just heard climax's entire album and it is magnificent! I feel bad for the low votes. This contest really paid off, and it's just the first round. Oh and thanks for the streaming. Edited by sagichim - April 05 2012 at 04:34 |

Hey man, good to see you as well. You bring up a valid point and yeah, if you extend out the time frame you run the risk of burying it. Either way, this should be enjoyable.
