Sorry Jhereko, but i'm keeping at a number which means I wont end up at the sem finals with a number I can actually divide without getting 8.5 or something. The next number that can do that is 128, and I am not doing that.

And okay Jhereko, it'll just be over the top having two tournaments running.

Well the voting has already started. You're in charge of this thing. What do you want to do?

Also, what's up with the first match up? It's like let's eliminate one of Mr. Shankly's favorite albums right off the bat. 😲

If Gary and I were still feuding today, I am sure he would get a huge kick out of this situation. :lol:

I'm going to make the thread in the games section now along with the first battle.

IMO the choice is all yours itsit. Either way this will be taking up a large amount of your time. So, if you want to get the ball rolling then fire it up. I think it depends on YOUR schedule. But what do I know, I'm only 8 years old.

Agreed that the albums tournament could be postponed until the other tournament is finished

itsit can I ask that you wait until this first tournament is over to avoid convolution unless everyone else thinks i'm wrong?

That makes sense. We are kind of jumping the gun here.

also do you see what i mean by limiting it to 16 people with 4 albums/

I agree, we should wait for the band tournament to be over first. It could get pretty confusing...
And we could then have a few more albums in the race 😄
