Welcome to Major League Music Week 3.
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.
