How It Works
Pick Your Winners
Each album runs a single-elimination bracket. Every album narrows down to 8 songs for the Quarterfinals — some songs get a bye based on their seed.
Weighted Points
Community winners are determined by weighted votes. Preliminary picks = 1pt. Quarters = 1pt. Semis = 2pts. Championship = 4pts. The song with the most total points wins.
Compare & Compete
The Leaderboard tracks voting accuracy, perfect album picks ("The Satellite Gallery"), and how often your taste matches your friends.
The Bracket Structure
| Round | Songs Competing | Points Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preliminary | Varies (N − 8 matches) | 1 pt | Only for albums with 9+ tracks |
| Quarterfinals | 8 songs, 4 matches | 1 pt | Bye seeds advance here |
| Semifinals | 4 songs, 2 matches | 2 pts | |
| Championship | 2 songs, 1 match | 4 pts | Crowns the album champion |
Voting is always open — you can change your picks at any time. Tiebreaks go alphabetically.
