Battle of the Bands Classic Rock/Prog/Psychedelic edition DISCUSSION THREAD
Hokai, soon the polls will start, so I find it prudent to post the brackets that we established for nominations, what I learnt for the future is that not all to many bands were supported, so a different seeding system may have to be put into place.
From the brackets of course, for each poll one band will be chosen, this will be done as such: Each bracket will be entered into a table in access where it will be given a random number, which will be sorted from lowest to highest, with the lowest in each bracket going into the poll and so on. There will be 25 polls with 5 bands in round one with 50 proceeding, then 10 rounds with 5 bands with 20 proceeding, then 4 rounds with 5 bands with 8 proceeding, then the semi finals will be between 4 bands. How to proceed after that I don't know, it's up to you, I could take the two best of each and the highest voted for third band to have a classic five band final, or the two best of each and have a four band final, or go for a more distinct 2 band final. Here are the brackets: The Bob Dylan Bracket: Frank Zappa The Velvet Underground King Crimson The Yardbirds The Kinks Cream Can Hawkwind Jefferson Airplane Comus The Jimi Hendrix Experience The Allman Brothers Syd Barrett The Doors David Bowie Magma The Byrds Jethro Tull Queen Gong Genesis Black Sabbath The Zombies Steely Dan The Residents The Led Zeppelin Bracket: Wishbone Ash Capability Brown Goblin Mountain Ash Band Soft Machine Thin Lizzy Kraftwerk The Mamas and the Papas Faust The Monkees The Amboy Dukes ELP Gentle Giant Neil Young Yes Moby Grape Camel Ash Ra Tempel Procul Harum Big Star T. Rex The Pentangle Room Leaf Hound The Who The Pink Floyd Bracket: Small Faces Amon Duul II The Moody Blues Sex Pistols Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band Crosby Stills Nash and Young Big Brother and the Holding Company The Grateful Dead Fairport Convention Donovan Buffalo Boston Rush Barclay James Harvest The Animals Alice Cooper Fifty Foot Hose Billy Joel Os Mutantes Titus Groan Fleetwood Mac Mahavishnu Orchestra Bodkin Creedence Clearwater Revival 49th Parallel The Beatles Bracket: The Shadows The Misunderstood The Hollies Free The Pretty Things Scott Walker Turquoise The Monks The Left Banke The Bruthers The Sonics The Kaleidoscope (UK) Deep Purple Blue Oyster Cult Robert Wyatt Neu! Joe Bird and the Field Hippies Talking Heads The Eagles Tangerine Dream Ten Years After Judas Priest Human Beast Caravan Flower Travellin' Band The Ethan Smith is Rolled and Stoned Bracket: Premiata Forneria Marconi White Noise The Red Krayola Henry Cow Savoy Brown Eloy Traffic 13th Floor Elevators Rare Bird Brainticket Rainbow Rush The Band UFO Van Der Graaf Generator Todd Rundgren The Turtles Uriah Heep Colosseum Argent Janis Joplin Love Trapeze Curved Air Roxy Music

Ah yes so they are, I'll fix that.
EDIT: Done, changed to Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies, I went through and checked the mistake and it was down to me obviously not putting "the" infront and thus not catching the duplicate. As a further post script the seeding has been done and the random numbers allocated for each individual bracket, I won't make the information publicly available but I might start polls tonight, normally I'd run them for three days but I'm thinking to run the first three for seven days so more people will be able to vote despite the holiday period.

Why are all the top seeded bands in the same bracket?

The brackets are the seeds, I tried to explain this before but the bands in the same bracket will not be in the same heats, each heat is composed of one band from each bracket.

Oh right, yeah I assumed they were immediately made public. I'll make sure they are next time around.
