#1 Mainstream Rock Tracks Tourney-First Match of Round 2

[MasonK565]

Okay, we have 109 nominees from the first round! I have split the field into 18 matches of 6, with one match having 7.

The order for seeding occurred like this:
1. Place taken in the poll (1, 2, or 3)
2. Number of votes received
3. Percentage of votes in the poll

The matches were power-matched, so the top seeded 1 got the lowest seeded 6. 2,3,4,5 seeds were organized with patterns in placements.

For this round you for for only 2 songs that you like! Or you could vote 1, or you could vote 0. 2 or less.

Now..for the first match!

I went with "Black Hole Sun" and "Plush." I am not big on Joan Jett, "Rope" is okay, and Stone Sour sucked.

Black Hole Sun and I Love Rock And Roll.

I got "Through Glass" and "Rope". I'm not a huge Stone Sour fan, but that is one catchy song. Same goes for "Rope".

This is great! We are getting into some match ups were even the lower seeds got a chance. Great sign for the future of this round.

For the rest of the tourney I plan doing the following:
2 winners from each this round go to next round, making 36 (if multiple songs tie, they all get it)
6 matches of 6 songs each. One winner from each move to the final tourney, along with two wild cards (songs with the most votes that didn't win) to bring us to 8. We will then head to a power matched 8 song, single elimination tournament for the winner!

Get your votes in!
