The object of this is to find the song that can survive the challenge of all others, and become DM's favourite Beatles song.
We seem to have a lot of active members at the moment, so I'm expecting a good sized vote. The voting is open to everyone, and you can join in whenever you want. So if you miss an album you can join in with the next.
Here's what we're going to do:
1. Each week I'll put up a new Beatles (UK) album and you have to pick your top 3 songs IN ORDER. No.1 will get 3 points, No.2 will get 2 points, and No.3 will get 1 point. Just three. If anyone chooses more than three I'll take the first three mentioned.
2. You will also choose what you consider to be the worst song on the album. Just pick one. If anyone chooses more than one I'll take the fist one mentioned.
3. Voting will close at 12 noon GMT each Sunday, and a vote will start for a new album thereafter.
4. At the end of the vote, the 3 songs with the most votes will go through to the next round as will the song with the most votes as being the albums worst.
5. In the case of a tie for 3rd place the songs with the same votes will be subject to a tie breaker vote. In this situation you will be asked to vote on which of the two songs you prefer, the winner will go through.
6. When we've been through all the albums we will then have a batch of songs to take through to Round 2. The same goes for the worst songs, which will have a separate
competition.
Anyone who's going to be away from the forum during a vote, can PM me their choices in advance.
One more thing. Please try to keep chat to a minimum. It'll make it easier for me when I'm trawling through the thread to count the votes!!
