Place ALL 10 songs in order of your preference. NO TIES. NO OMISSIONS ("I hate it so much I refuse to list it"). Such "ballots" will not be counted. ALL 10 SONGS MUST BE LISTED.
Songs will be awarded points from 9 points for the #1 song on your list, to 0 for the last.
Each song will be prioritized by point total - greatest # points is #1, etc. Polling ties will have a run-off.
I will give a week for this round before we go to brackets, to garner more interest and votes, and test how much time may usually be needed. I plan on a week span for every round but may change as needed.
(NOTE: One does not have to play every single round to participate, although that would be preferred!)
