The Beast Downunder Iron Maiden Song Poll - 2007 will commence Thursday night, the 11th October.
I've changed the knockout tree format and made it a little more fun. Less songs will be eliminated in the 1st round. I think all up, it gives more songs a 2nd chance to move forward.
Songs that get a second chance and win will move forward into the opposite branch of the tree so they don't face up against songs that have beat them previously until later in the round if they advance.
Winners in Rounds 1 and 3 will be rewarded. They will move forward 2 Rounds.
If anyone has questions, feel free to post them here. Please do not use this thread to discuss results. Use any respective Group threads to do that.
Below you'll find a link to the external web page and some further details to familiarise yourself with the structure of the Tournament.
