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!!!

Im, i forgot to read the rules. Im a noob today lolz.

Well, 3 goes to GnR because i like how they are alot heavier than aerosmith. Ive also never taken a likely to other bands on this list which is why i didn't choose them. Classics like Sweet Child o Mine and November Rain also help my choice. Power Ballad W00T! I love their guitar sound and the way Slash played in the first album. Too bad egos collided in this band too. Im not a huge fan of the newest album but i like Better so its all good.

My 1 goes to Aerosmith. I highly respect this band. They did have a jazz sound at time which i like because it is different. Dream On is an all time great. They had great success, but some of their later stuff i didn't like as much. Nonetheless, they are a great band.

This seems like to be difficult for me, just because I love all of them with the exception of one.

1st vote: Aerosmith because they're definitely one of my favorite rock bands.
There are several of their songs that are just flawless, three of my favorites would have to be Cryin', Dream On and Dude Looks Like a Lady.
They're a brilliant band.

It took me a while to decide on which one to vote for, but after a while of thinking, I settled with..

Vote 2: Guns 'N' Roses, some of their albums I didn't like but then some of there songs I fell in love with such as great classics like, Sweet Child Of Mine & Paradise City.

I'll keep in tune to this topic to see what the vote statistics look like.

My first choice would be Aerosmith. They have the widest variety of all the groups you've posted, and I find their music to be the most listenable.

My second choice is AC/DC. They have some great songs, which are also catchy. Catchiness is something I look for in songs, because otherwise I just forget the song altogether.

@ Luksy2 : You barely made it with your votes coming in and the reasoning was pretty thin, but it didn't make any difference for the final ranking of this group, so I decided to count the first choice you stated, but... if you could give me your second choice for correct rankings as well, I'd be grateful! =) But remember to state a solid reasoning for futeure votes, ok?

A somewhat surprising ending in this group, I must say... it failed to reach the maximum votes limit (which I assumed it would be able to, because of the diversity in bands featured in it), BUT... this year Aerosmith managed to proceed to the next round, where they failed to do so in last years edition! And Ozzy managed to take second place during his debut this year! Excellent! =D

# Final Standings of votes counted Group B: #

Aerosmith____ : 24 (7 First Choices/3 Second Choices) - WINNER!!!
Ozzy Osbourne : 18 (5 First Choices/3 Second Choices) - RUNNER UP!!!
Guns n' Roses : 17 (4 First Choices/5 Second Choices) - Eliminated...
AC/DC________ : 15 (3 First Choices/6 Second Choices) - Eliminated...

This concludes the second round...

Sorry for the delay, but finally... it's time to start the next round in this group stage, Group C! =D

New battle YAY! So my votes go to

1. U2: U2 is one of the biggest rock bands of all time. Bono's excellent singing combined with The Edge's extremely unique guitar sound made them stand out in the crowd. Plus, they were incredibly influential to the way that concerts are preformed with their stage set ups and other things.

2: Def Leppard: I particularly like the singer's voice in Def Leppard, and their songs like "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages" are pretty catchy. Plus, it's pretty impressive for a one armed drummer to be as good as he is.
