Since I have been moderating the "Metal Bands World Cup" with a lot of fun,
it gave me an idea...

Why not do the same for the 'Classic Rock Bands' from all over the world?!

So, with credits to Agent_AAS for giving me the idea, here it is!!!

Ladieeeeeeees aaaaaaaaaaand gentlemeeeeeeeeen, we proudly present to you, the

_______________________________________________________________________
### CLASSIC ROCK BANDS WORLD CUP !!! ###
_______________________________________________________________________

The format of this World Cup for Classical Rock Bands is based upon the organisation schematics
of the Soccer World Cup, same as the "Metal Bands World Cup" was made. It has the same rules
as the Soccer Cup in terms of proceeding through, but it will follow a few rules of its own too.
To elaborate the >binding rules< for this competition:

# The Group stage:
-There will be 8 different groups presented in the thread, one at a time, and each group will
be consisting of 5 Classical Rock Bands that will be pre-selected by me or one of the co-mods.
-Every user of Armor Games has the power to give one point with one vote for one band only.
So you only get to vote for one band in a group, no double voting for a single band or
voting for more than one band per group. No exceptions will be made in this matter.
-When one of the bands in a particular group reaches the 10 points limit, the voting for that
group is over and that group will be closed for voting by me or one of the co-mods. Both the
'group winner' and the 'runner up' band will proceed to the knockout stage of this World Cup.
-If two bands will reach the 10 points limit at the same time in a group, the band that reached
the 10 points limit first, will automatically be declared 'group winner' and the band that
reached the 10 points limit secondly, will automatically be declared 'runner up'.
This rule also applies for the second place in the group. If two bands reach a similar point
count for second place at the same time, the band reaching this point count first, will then
automatically be declared 'runner up'. Remaining bands will be eliminated of the competition.
Again, no discussions about the outcome are allowed, should this situation occur in a group.

The Knockout Stage:
-After completing the Group stage, the 'group winner' of the first group will be up against the
'runner up' of the second group. The 'group winner' of the second group will be up against the
'runner up' of the first group. This scedule will be followed for the rest, to clarify:
#1 Group A vs. #2 Group B (Winning band is called 'Winner I'
#1 Group B vs. #2 Group A (Winning band is called 'Winner II'
#1 Group C vs. #2 Group D (Winning band is called 'Winner III'
#1 Group D vs. #2 Group C (Winning band is called 'Winner IV'
#1 Group E vs. #2 Group F (Winning band is called 'Winner V'
#1 Group F vs. #2 Group E (Winning band is called 'Winner VI'
#1 Group G vs. #2 Group H (Winning band is called 'Winner VII'
#1 Group H vs. #2 Group G (Winning band is called 'Winner VIII'
-Like in the famous 'Battle of the Bands thread', you (again) get to vote once for one band only.
-When one of the bands in this knockout battle reaches the limit of 10 points first, that band is
declared the winner of the match and will proceed to the next stage in the competition.

The 1/4 Finals:
-The next stage, the 1/4 finals, will be held in this order:
# Winner I vs. Winner V
# Winner II vs. Winner VI
# Winner III vs. Winner VII
# Winner IV vs. Winner VIII
-When one of the bands in these 1/4 final battles reaches the limit of 10 points first, that band
is declared the winner of the match and will proceed to the next stage in the competition.

The Semi Finals:
-The semi finals will be held in the order of:
# Winner I/V vs. Winner II/VI
# Winner III/VII vs. Winner IV/VIII
-When one of the bands in these Semi Finals battles reaches the limit of 10 points first, that
band is declared the winner of the match and will proceed to the next stage in the competition.

The 'Shadow Final':
-A number three and four is decided in a match between both 'losing' bands from the semi finals.
Again, the ranking of third and fourth place in this Final is decided upon the band that reaches
the 10 points limit first.

The Final match:
-The Final match is held between both winning bands from the semi finals.
-When one of the bands in the Final reaches the limit of 10 points first, that band is declared
the winner of the competition and is crowned The 'CRBWC' Champion 2010.
-The remaining band is ranked #2 in this competition.

# Further rules for this competition:
-You can only vote once per group and only once per knockout battle
-You are obligated to give a good reasoning on why you choose the band to get your vote.
('They are the best' or 'I like them' is not accepted as a reasoning.)
-There will be NO playoffs held in this competition.
-You don't get to complain when 'your band' is eliminated from the competition.
-Swearing and obscene language is not tolerated. Always respect the opinion(s) of the other users
participating in this thread, even if you disagree on their reasoning.
-The 'Armor Games Community Forum Rules and Regulations' and the 'Battle of the ... Thread Rules'
are to be followed for this 'Classic Rock Bands World Cup'. They will be referred to when needed.

Nice discussion going on the bands in this group! Always good... =D

But there's still the point of voting for the bands at hand...
Ranking is still stuck at:

Group A:

-Pink Floyd - 5
-Led Zeppelin - 3
-The Who - 3
-Deep Purple - 1
-Marillion - 0

So again I urge the people to VOTE!!!!

Would be a shame to see this thread die quickly...

MrDayCee, I think if you don't get any votes in a few days, you should probably close this group and start up a new'un. That is, only IF.

DayCee, I'm crushed that you didn't:

#1 Ask me to moderate and
#2 You didn't consider Creme? Eric Clapton?

I'll have to admit this is a tough line-up but "All in all, you're just a 'nother brick 'n the wall!"

PINK

Sorry but I had tolink the Pink
and I'm sorry I mis-spelled Cream. Eric Clapton was associated with The Yard Birds before he joined Cream.

Eric Clapton was associated with The Yard Birds before he joined Cream.


Anybody with half-a-brain knows that, now stop being so obvious.

I'm considering to change the vote-limit of a group to 5, since there are no new voters turning up to participate in the thread...

I'll give it to Monday and decide then what I will do... :S

@ Wajor59: I had the two co-mods decided pretty quick since they were with me in the 'MBWC' (or I was with them rather) so that was obvious... Google567 joined rather quickly after and I didn't consider installing another mod, since I thought 4 are more than enough... sorry about that... :S

I've made up the group line-up already and I can tell you... it was pretty difficult to decide which groups get in and which don't... o_0

So the rankings show us:

Group A:
-Pink Floyd - 6
-The Who - 4
-Led Zeppelin - 3

If it should stay this way, looks like Led Zeppelin are out after this round...

Too bad for you... I asked too.
#2 You didn't consider Creme? Eric Clapton?


Maybe DayCee will put them into the next round...
-Deep Purple - 1


You are all sad people... Listen to this and this too. They're two versions of 'Smoke on the Water' which you should know.

I heard it, and went away because I thought it was another song. But now that you say it... Pretty darn awesome!

Well, anybody who hears should remember how awesome Deep Purple was. Vote for Purple!

Yea, I like all of these groups but my heart's with Pink. Maybe Deep Purple can go up against Led Zeppelin in a later round?
