QC Battle Of Teh Bands
Garcin:
I think a week to vote for 16 matchups in Round 2 is sufficient. There are really two ways to handle your second question, how to determine who is included if multiple teams are tied for 32nd place with equal votes.
The first to randomly select teams.
The second is to include tied teams in 3 band brackets in Round 2.
I'm more inclined to randomly select teams since that's easier, but if enough people want to have 3 band brackets, then I will do that instead.
Incidentally, a similar situation will arise if, in any given bracket, both teams are tied. In this situation, I definitely think that both bands should progress to the next round for a three team (or possibly four team -- if both brackets end up tied) round. Where there is a three team bracket, I envision each voter casting one vote for each of the three teams.
Thoughts?
EDIT: With regard to the wiki page getting confusing, I'm not anticipating any problems. The scoreboard will be at the top, and Round 2 would look like this:
BATTLE #1
[1st Seed] vs. [Random]
Voting for [1st Seed]:
Voting for [Random]:
BATTLE #2
[15th Seed] vs. [Random]
Voting for [15th Seed]:
Voting for [Random]:
etc.
Each Battle will be a section heading, so hyperlinks to each battle will be available at the top of the wiki page.
EDIT2: I'm going to pull random numbers off the www.random.org generator to determine matchups and which teams are included in the case of a tie for the bottom rungs. I'll provide screenshots of the random number generation on request to keep the process transparent.

I'd like to be an asshole and point out that Elliott Smith's name is spelt like this. Not with one t. This thread's driving me mad for this very reason.
KTHXBYE - LOVE JULIA.
Garcin:
Elliott says:
Thank-you Julia, it was driving me crazy too.

--- Quote from: onewheelwizzard ---See, this is what it should've looked like BEFORE Iron Maiden got eliminated, because they can blow 100% of the bands on the current list completely out of the water.

Fixed.
Garcin:
Seeding and bracketing is now on the page. I tried to keep the instructions as simple as possible so that this didn't start to become boring work. Please pose questions and comments here or on the discussion page.
Also I kept Rounds 2 and 3 at one week a piece, and reduced future rounds to 3 days. This means that at least 2 days of Round 2 will not fall on an extended July 4 weekend so that Yanks can get their Coldplay votes in.
