So sad to have to vote agaimst DMB, but Escher\'s is just too great!!!

[galenas]

had to give it to escher\'s as well

[Drew_Kingsley]

3 way dance!  3 way dance!

3-song matchup is a terrible way to go.  DMB and Surreal Radio will simply take votes away from each other thus Escher\'s will win.  It\'s like having 2 facists and 1 facist run for president...the facists combined might get 10 million more votes than the facist, but the facist will win because he will have more votes than either individual facist.  This isn\'t rocket science, it\'s pretty obvious you can\'t have a 3-way matchup.  I can think of about 10 different tiebreaking systems if you need one.

here\'s 3 songs. pick the one you like the best.

no, it\'s not rocket science.

:that: I really dont\' think it matters I pretty sure either of these tunes would have lost out to Eschers anyway.....

no, it\'s not rocket science.

I\'ve got an idea: How about in the NCAA basketball tournament if 2 teams tie they combine the teams into one team and take on the next opponent! :rolleyes:  Or if last night\'s Stanley Cup final game 7 ended in a tie, both teams get to skate around with the cup! :no:

So what are we gonna do when the final ends up in a tie?  Just say both songs win and call it a day?  Of course not.  OK, so we agree there needs to be a tiebreaking system.  Great.  Now apply it to ties in earlier rounds as well.  The 3-way matchup denies the lower seeds any chance they had of pulling an upset.

Suggested tiebreakers: (They\'re not all completely fair, but they\'re way better than the cop out of "both-songs-win".)
- Extend the voting for 24 hours.  
- Sudden death.  (Next vote wins, deciding vote must come from a user with at least 1 month on .info)
- Add up the total posts of voters on each side (not popular, I know, but effective)
- Tim breaks the tie
- ChrisPitch breaks the tie
- The band girlfriends (Nikki, Lisa, Tangie) = tiebreaking committee

but you know what this is not the stanley cup and it\'s not world cup soccer and it\'s not the world series and it\'s not NCAA it\'s .info, a world in and of itself.  It\'s not the end of the world, hey there\'s always next year.....
