    Sorry to quibble, but to me, there is an unfair advantage being given to the 3 outright losers.

    If there were 4 outright losers, (1 from each group), each loser would have a 50% chance of being eliminated.....however, with the joint losers from one group being thrown straight in together, it now means the 3 outright losers only have a 40% chance of being eliminated!!!
    Both of these joint losers from Group B should in theory have only a 25% chance of being eliminated, but that has now risen to 40%.

    Just saying!:87:

    So how would you have it then, MGM?

    We could wait for the one remaining voter to be the decider, before going live with the Play off.

    Think that is the only viable option apart from proceeding as we have, unless you have another suggestion?

    Why should each loser from group B have a 25% chance of being eliminated?

    If there was only one loser from group B then that band would have a 50% chance of being eliminated, same as everyone else. Seems to me that having 5 in the playoff benefits all the bands because they all now have a 40% chance of being eliminated.

    Hey, not even attempting to rock the boat mate, you do a great job. Just wondered if it was an oversight or just the luck of the draw.....honestly mate.

    I suppose technically the 2 tied could have 24 hours to win us over to secure their place, but as it didnt affect me....i dont give a *!:smiley-laughing002:

    As i said, each loser should have a 50% chance of losing, but the 3 outright losers are benefitting from the tie, as they now have a 40% chance instead of a 50% chance of losing their place.

    Honestly, i dont care, i was just checking it wasnt an error. If its the luck of the 'draw' sobeit.:50:

    I am leaving a small window for the person that hasnt voted to do so, but if we hit midday tomorrow and still not heard from them will proceed as is.

    And if not, at midday will post the songs, and then there is a 12 hr window until Midnight for votes to be submitted.

    The Group B deadlock has been broken.

    So our Play Off is now back to the original structure of the 4 lowest placed groups. And we have our 4 song submissions.

    Remember, only those who have previously qualified are eligible to vote for this Play Off.

    The Voting Deadline for the Play Off is 10pm Tuesday.

    Not counting that Drakhan.

    The 4 songs were posted less than 8 minutes before you say you've voted. To be fair, give them all a proper listen, please.
