THE BIG TOURNAMENT 2013

(last year's top 3)


​
ESC 2013 is over and we'll have a lot of time to kill. So it's time to start this year's Big Tournament edition where all entries from 1956 - 2013 will compete for your vote, hoping to move on from The Preliminary Round, to the Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and the Big Final Round.

How this is going to work:

Every round a group of 25 - 27 songs will compete and you can vote on them using the ESC Point system (12,10, 8 -1 points). At the end of each voting round the Top 10 from each Group will move on to the Quarter Finals. It's that simple.
PM your votes to THE BIG TOURNAMENT profile or cast your votes using the SCOREWIZ link.
All songs were randomly selected so it's not uncommon to see songs from the same year, several songs from the same country or even several winners in the same group. Some groups may be considered stronger than others but it's all the luck of the draw. Remember to cast your votes quickly as the voting windows are short. For your convenience, YT clips will be added in case you are not familiar with all songs.

8 Simple Rules:



  1. Please listen to all songs before sending us your votes. For your convenience, we added YouTube links so all you have to do is click on it and enjoy the music.
  2. Only one vote per user. If we discover that you have two separate accounts for the sake of doubling your votes you will be disqualified.
  3. We check every vote and any invalid or incomplete votes will result in disqualification
  4. The Mod team is doing their best to make this tournament a fun experience for everyone. However criticizing the team in the thread is not allowed.
  5. You don’t have to vote every round and we understand that real life takes priority. Please do not complain if your votes were not counted because you voted past the deadline.
  6. It is okay to share some of your votes (e.g. your 12 points or your random top 5) but it is NOT okay to post your full votes.
  7. The purpose of this tournament is to appreciate and celebrate all songs starting with 1956 all the way to 2013. If you’re a person who only enjoys music from a particular decade only, this may not be the right game for you. It affects the outcome for those who want to give all songs a fair chance.
  8. You must be an ESCUNITED member to participate.

Stay tuned and have fun! xcheer

To all who have read the rules, a small correction has been made: once our favourite online Tournament starts, votes should be sent to THE BIG TOURNAMENT profile, not my own profile! :mrgreen:

Whoohooo so excited! :D xcheer

I'd like to emphasize this rule, due to the results last year:

7. The purpose of this tournament is to appreciate and celebrate all songs starting with 1956 all the way to 2013. If you’re a person who only enjoys music from a particular decade only, this may not be the right game for you. It affects the outcome for those who want to give all songs a fair chance.

Just one question - shouldn't this thing be in the Guildo's Games? Last year people were wondering about why it is here, and I have to agree with them xshrug

I didn't play last year, but yes, you're right. But it's quite difficult though. In the end we were born when we were born and that affects our taste. We can't change that fact.

I don't think when we were born necessarily affects our taste, not for everyone. I think a big part of it is what you were exposed to as a child and also how open you are to different things. I love the songs before my time equally to the songs I grew up with. Everyone has the ability to acquire new tastes, it's only as difficult as one makes it.

But if it's as you say, then that is why this rule is in place. We're here to appreciate songs from all decades and of all genres. Those who only like a particular sound, only like songs from '80s or only like songs from the '00s, should find another game. In this game, the latter tends to be the most frequent.

Because it's the forum's official Eurovision Tournament (edition 2013) not only one more game, Adel.
