Here it is; the debate over which city is the greatest source of talent begins.
The tournament nominations will be open for a few days and I am aiming for at least 32. 64 might be a stretch so we will see how we go.
HOW TO NOMINATE
Put in your nominations for the city of either your birth or of what city you feel should be in it. We know that London, New York and LA might be prominent but show your spirit for your home town (or close to it).
A maximum of 2 cities this preliminary round.
Along with your nomination, include four bands/artists PLUS one reserve that you think best represent that city. Think carefully as a weak link might bring down the team. The reserve will work for the victors of the matchups if they wish to substitute a band/artist that may have brought them down a bit.
EXAMPLE
Sheffield, United Kingdom
Team
Pulp
Arctic Monkeys
The Human League

Comsay Angels (res.)
HOW THE TOURNAMENT WILL WORK
Once the nominations are in and the random organiser sorts out the matchups, it will run like previous tournaments. Initial rounds will got for 2 days with the finals going an extra day. Since the matchups will be random, some people may get their nominations pitted against each other. Sorry, but that's technology for you!
The matchups themselves will be set up by me, but it is up to the nominator to support their team. You can only post clips and pics for those four bands/artists playing for your city.
More will occur over time but for now...
