Welcome to Major League Music Week 2. After opening week, we have seen possible MVP’s and underdogs arise. Team 50’s is coming off a dreadful performance in week 1 is looking to bounce back in week 2. Team 60’s pulled off the biggest victory of the week and are looking to defeat the current second place team. Team 70’s is looking to take over first place. Team 80’s are trying to beat a future contender in the playoffs. Team 90’s are looking to become contenders. Team 00’s is trying to win after coming close in week 1.
Here's how voting and such will work:
-I will post the matchups here, and you have to chose who you think the winner of each should be.
-At the end of the week, I will tally up the winner of each individual matchup. Then the total number of votes each team gets plus 5 points for each matchup they win will give us the final score.
-At the end of the final week of the regular season, the top 4 teams will advance to the playoffs. (I will post the standings each week)
-In the playoffs, seed 1 will play seed 4 and seed 2 will play seed 3. The winner of each of those matches will advance to the final.

Sorry I didn't vote. It'd be easier to participate if you listed the band(s) the person was in next to their name.
Question, in the semifinals and finals are the same people going to be up against each other or will there be new people? It seems we'll just be doing a repeat of matches from the round robin.
