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.

I vote Rush for instrumentaly they were a great band and thier singer was iconic. This was a hard choice but really I can only think of 3 good journey songs, compared to Rush. Rush is a band that took rock further in some parts, without people noticing it. K.O. Round # 7: Journey - 5 Rush -7 Rush is strating to pull away little by little. Thanks for the help Agent_AAS.
Hey guys!! I'm Back!! Interesting development in this round... =D
@ PizzaDude7 : I would love to count your vote for Journey, but it's too thin... please elaborate a little more on your reasoning so we can count your vote in this round!
@ stooge90 : your reasoning is actually pretty thin too (compared to PizzaDude7's vote), but it juuuuust manages to pass the criteria on behalf of reasoning... so your vote will be counted!
K.O. Round # 7 :
Rush - 8 Journey - 6
Will Journey recover in this round or will Rush continue towards their win? YOU CAN DECIDE, WITH YOUR VOTE!!! =D
Alright. I choice Journey because I've always liked Journey. I don't really like Rush's singer. His voice just doesn't do it for me. Steve Perry has an amazing voice. He truely is one of the greatest singers of all time. Rush only has a few good songs from what I'e heard of them. I've heard quite a bit. Sure they have talent but Journey has so much more. And I don't see how the length or the shortness should have any effect on if you should count it or not. You like Journey so you sa Journey. You like Rush you say Rush. The reason why is irrelevant. 100% Journey.
My vote is for Journey in this battle. Rush just pretty much bores me while Journey just makes me want to play air instruments and sing with my lousy voice. lol. Journey with Perry or the new guy (forgot his name), either of them beats Rush by a long shot in my opinion.
A close call here... nice to see both bands are loved in this round! =D
@ ilberic : ever listened to 'Don't Stop Believing' with either singer? When you close your eyes they actually sound the same! That's amazing for a band to have while switching vocalists if you ask me!
I'm not a big fan of either, but song wise I'd go with Journey, maybe they're just more known that's why I know a few more songs xD Listened to some Rush on Youtube.. I don't like it so much, not Journey either, but Journey are better. Eh, hard to vote when I don't have much of a clue about the bands..
@ ilberic : ever listened to 'Don't Stop Believing' with either singer? When you close your eyes they actually sound the same! That's amazing for a band to have while switching vocalists if you ask me!
and there new singer actually looks exactly like steve when he was young XD wtf!
I was first going to call a deadline for this round, but I guess it's not much of a problem to wait for the last (and deciding) vote to come in and finish this round... =D
The voting still stands at a tie between the two bands:
K.O. Round # 7:
Journey - 9 Rush - 9
NEXT PERSON TO VOTE WILL DECIDE THE BATTLE!!!
But MIND YOU, a reasoning is needed for a vote to be legit, so no discussion on that, allright?!
I know of one person that will probably die if Journey would win... and another one that will be dissapointed if Rush would win... LOL =P
Journey is absolutely EPIC. Rush is great, but it doesn't compare. There isn't as much feeling in Rush's songs as there is in Journey's, which is what gives me reason to vote for Journey.
