A lot of people have been asking me when the new edition of the 'CRBWC' would finally start (and I'm sorry it took me so long...), but I wanted to make the second edition even better and more fun than the first one!
(In case you wonder what the first one looked like: this is the 'CRBWC 2010'.)

After hours of fun (and stress!) in figuring out the new CRBWC schematics, the gathering of info on the participating bands and fabricating the additional pictures to it all, I'm proud of the final outcome and so, without further delay, let's kick off the 2011 edition of the

Now, some changes have been made to the second edition of this competition, so reading the rules and guidelines is something everyone needs to do, even the voters from last year's edition are advised to...

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

-The 'CRBWC' consist of a total of 24 rounds being presented one at a time.
-Each round will be open for voting for a maximum of 2 weeks or untill a band reaches the points limit.

-Each user of ArmorGames who wants to give a vote has the possibility to vote only once per round.
-All votes given by users are obligated to consist of an elaborated reasoning as to 'why' you choose these two bands. Votes lacking a proper elaborated reasoning, for example: "I like them" or "They rule", will not be counted. Elaborate on why you like them and talk about them, that's the main goal of this competition!
-Different to last year's edition, this time each vote in the group stage of this competition will consist of naming a "First choice" with with a value of 3 points and a "Second choice" with a value of 1 point.
-You only get to vote for two bands in a group. NO double voting for a single band and/or NO voting for more than two bands per group. No exceptions will be made in this matter.
-If two bands reach the limit of 30 points at the same time, the band with the most "First choices" will be declared as the winner of that round.
-The rule explained above, also applies if two bands reach a similar point count for second place at the same time in the 'Group Stage'.
-If, for any reason, two bands reach the limit of 30 points simultaniously and both have an equal amount of first and second choices, the band getting it's 'winning vote' first will be declared the winner.
-Further rounds after the group stage will have a 1 point count for each vote given and an according 10 points limit. Rules for declaring a winner will be applied according to the group stage rules.
-No discussions about the ruling on the outcome of a round are allowed.

# THE GROUP STAGE:
-This stage will behold 8 different groups (A to H) consisting of 7 Classical Rock Bands to choose from.
-After closure, both the 'group winner' and the 'runner up' band will proceed to the knockout stage.
-All other remaining bands are eliminated from the competition.

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 schedule will be followed for the rest of the groups, 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'

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

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

THE 'SHADOW FINAL':
-A number three and four is decided in a match between both 'losing' bands from the semi finals.
-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 2011.
-The remaining band is ranked #2 in this competition.

-There will be NO playoffs held in this competition.
-You don't get to complain when 'your band' is eliminated from the competition. "Take the pain..."
-Swearing and obscene language is not tolerated. Always respect the opinion(s) of the other users participating in this thread, even if you disagree with their reasoning.
-If any situation should occur that is not explained and/or guided by the thread's rules, the 'Armor Games Community Forum Rules and Regulations' and the 'Popular Media Rules ("Read these rules or else...&quot' apply and are to be followed for this 'Classic Rock Bands World Cup'. They will be referred to when needed.

Since this year's 'CRBWC' competition has a little more stuff to work with, I will start off as the sole Moderator for it, but there might be other moderators assigned over time if/when I see fit. Don't ask me for an assignment, since I will only assign people I know to have the same devotion to this competition and they will be revealed when the time comes, ok?

And last, but certainly not least... take heed:
!!! OFFICIAL AG ADMINISTRATORS AND MODERATORS WILL ALWAYS HAVE A BINDING WORD !!!
So, whenever an AG administrator or moderator visits this thread and decides to alter/delete a user's post or take action on an item or discussion, listen and obide to them as you would throughout the rest of the ArmorGames website.

I hope the AG users will like and participate in this 'Classic Rock Bands World Cup'!
So my main advice to all participants is to simply... ENJOY!!!

Led Zeppelin has a more powerful sound. ZZ Top is great but Led Zeppelin has some of the greatest guitar riffs around.
ZZ Top does deserve second place, though.

LED ZEPPELIN!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant sound creativity and improvisation. Led Zep has also made a massive impact on music and people in my opinion and more of an impacts than ZZTop. I love the guitarring from Led Zep, it's brilliant and different!

Also, my Dad loves Led Zep so you can count in his vote on this. He loves improvising on Led Zep's stuff.

And when I want to put solos into stuff on my guitar I use Led Zep based solos.

Led Zep have more famous songs and more people have heard Led Zeppelin so
yeah

LED ZEP FOR THE WIN FOR THE WIN FOR THE WIN

I was trying to keep people's hopes up, but somehow... I already knew the winner for this edition of the "C.R.B.W.C." as soon as the 1/2 Finals were over!

The reason for my absence in posting here is simple... I felt confident that the thread could remain open for a while without too much trouble and provide room for me to work on preparations for it's sister thread, the "M.B.W.C."! Sorry for my lack in posting nontheless... =/

Allright then! Time to post the final score and officially announce the winner for this edition!
____________________________________________________

Final score count for the "CRBWC GRANDE FINALE" :

10 - LED ZEPPELIN - WINNER!!!
5 - ZZ TOP - Runner up...____________________________________________________

(Final voting scores and overall ranking list will be posted later...)

And to end it with a nice deserving poster for this edition:

It's closed... done... decided... officially declared! =)

And with this post, it also means that we... *wipes tear* ...conclude this edition... *gulp* ...of the Classic Rock Band World Cup!!!

---

Buuuuut... don't worry! There will be a new edition coming! (o.O)

And to make sure that it will be even more exciting in battles, I want to ask you to please state your suggestions (if any) in this thread untill the new edition is launched and I will make sure to take them into consideration for the next edition!

Some guidelines might be needed though... try to make sure that the bands you suggest are :

- Classic Rock music bands;
- not too recent (new) bands
(founded during/in the 60's, 70's or 80's is key)
- and try to avoid the 'one-time-hit-only' bands!

Closing...
Thanx to everyone for participating in this edition! I had a lot of fun reading all the posts and reasonings and it was awesome to run the competition! Without your efforts and votes, it wouldn't have been possible... a BIG THANX!!! =D

I'm still gathering all the bands and even though I have a lot of them lined up, I still need additional bands to add to the groups at the start of the competition...

So I'm asking people to suggest bands that haven't been featured in the last competition yet! =)

Some ideas I alreayd have are the following:

- Cheap Trick
- REO Speedwagon
- Warrant
- Gotthard

Nothing is final yet, so all suggestions are welcome!

And it won't be untill after the summer before the new edition launches, so there's plenty of time!

Expanding on what ViceGhost said, or at least how I interpreted it, why not give us the list of bands that have already battled so that we don't all have to scroll through 77 pages just so we won't look like idiots if we suggest bands that have already been in the competition?

Just a thought.

Well i barrely missed this one. I am a HUGE classic rock person.

Do you mind giving me a rough start date of the next one? I really dont want to miss it.

Although i think Led Zepplin deserved to win, i believe Van Halen shouldve beat pink floyd. Eddie van halen uses his guitar in such a unique and unpresedented way that it seems as if he makes his guitar... Talk! He speks through it and makes his guitar SING!!

Alright, now that I've successfully missed most rounds, time to suggest bands. How about

Styx- they might stand up against one or two other bands.
Def Leppard- why weren't they in this year's battle!?
Cheap Trick- See Def Leppard description.
The Cars
and for some southern rock, how 'bout 38 Special?

@ idigit : I'm aiming to get it launched in September, but it all depends on how much free time I have to work on this competition and it's sister thread, the 'MBWC', so... =/
I'm doing the best I can to get it up and running a.s.a.p. though!

@ waluigi : LOL You did miss out on a LOT of battles, yes... but I'll disgard that because of the suggestions you made, ok? =P
Let's see...

- Styx : they are actually on my list to be included! I had the same idea before, but wasn't sure whether to include them in the 2nd edition!

- Def Leppard : Were included this year... and will be next year!

- Cheap Trick : Again... a band on my list for the new edition! Kudoo's! =D

- The Cars : Hmmm... difficult choice... they didn't have THAT many hits and are only well known because of "Drive", so... not sure yet! =/

Thanx for the suggestions though! The more the merrier of course! Keep 'em coming folks! =D

Someone needs to brush up on their classic rock history! I've never even heard of Marillion, Poco, or Rose Tattoo... but I've heard the Cars on the radio frequently for as long as I can remember! They had more hits than plenty of the bands you included last year... I'm actually surprised you left them out!

Guess I do have to brush up on my classic rock then... *blushes* ...but in my defence, they don't play that man songs of the Cars here. =P

But I'll look into it, if only to set your mind at ease, ok?
