The Songfactors Choice Ultimate Top Ten Round 2


Recommended Posts

THE SONGFACTORS' CHOICE ULTIMATE TOP TEN - ROUND 2

I'll quickly rehash the rules, they are the same as before:

- No nominations are required, as the songs have been selected from our 25 top tens.

- Voting rules will be exactly the same as the normal top tens - rank your favourite songs in the list from 1-10, and 10 points will be given to your number 1 song, 9 for number 2 etc.

- We have decided to restrict eligibility to vote to only those people who have nominated or voted in at least one of our Top Tens. We think that's fair !

- We realised it would be ridiculous to expect people to come up with a top ten from all 251 songs, so I have seeded the songs and split them into fair groups.

- This is Group 2 of 5, and this group contains 50 songs. I will then combine the five top tens together to form a group, and then we will vote on these songs to form the Ultimate Top Ten.

I'm unsure how to put a topic at the top of the list. Could a moderator please do this and delete this post?

Also, the Ultimate Top Ten Round 1 should probably be moved to the bottom section, and probably should be locked so no one can reply to it anymore.
