• 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 democrats and 1 republican run for president...the democrats combined might get 10 million more votes than the republican, but the republican will win because he will have more votes than either individual democrat.  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.

  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
