## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does the best songs bracket work?

Sixteen iconic songs enter the tournament. Spin the wheel to draw each head-to-head matchup, listen or debate, vote on the winner, and advance it until one song takes the crown.

### Can I use songs from a specific genre or artist?

Yes, replace the list with hip-hop, pop, rock, or one artist's discography. Album-vs-album and song-of-the-summer brackets are fan favourites.

### Should we listen to the songs during the bracket?

It is the best version: play 30 seconds of each song in the matchup before voting. A 16-song bracket becomes a full listening party.

### How do we vote fairly on songs?

Pick a criterion first (best song, most iconic, or would play at a party), vote after each matchup, and use a coin flip or quick re-listen for ties.
