The 12th poll is over.

 

News and more news:

 

1. Ida Corr vs Fedde Le Grand - Let Me Think About It

This is the FINAL poll for Ida Corr vs Fedde Le Grand - Let Me Think About It, as the song is now on the poll for the fifth time.

 

2. Buzzjack's Backup event and compensation.

As many of you were now aware, Buzzjack has been going over some makeover (I think), and the forum was closed for a few days (hence the Buzzjack's backup forum). Before this tempoary closing, there were over 30 votes casted. After the original forum re-opened, over 25 votes were taken off and there were only five votes counted. I am still happy that there are 34 votes made in RR12, but some songs which has recieved votes before the backup forum, has their votes taken away for some odd reason. Although in other cases, most songs managed to recieve MORE votes after the re-opening of Buzzjack. So, as a result, this is what I will do as a solution.

 

- The elimination will take place as normal.

- The points system will run as normal, but extra two points will be added (including the eliminated songs), as a compensation for the reopening/backup/revamp extravaganza. That does NOT mean the songs which had no chart runs will be in the semis consideration. However, they will be in the semis alternate list, contributing to the game's twist.

 

3. Twist from RR16

From RR16, there will be a special twist coming along this league - maybe an additional poll!

 

Clue 1: Limited or Alternate

Clue 2: fluke

Clue 3: overlooked

 

The twist will be revealed in the next Round Robin (RR14).

 

NOTE: I have planned this twist back in September, when I have started this poll game of 2007 Track of the Year.

 

So, here are the official results (Purple denotes being safe, Red denotes being eliminated):
