Wow, thanks a lot guys! Sorry for self-voting, I didn't realise it was against the rules :/
Much appreciated, I really liked your mix too. Loved the fx and drum sounds used. How did you find the fx?

Yeah, I kind of ride off of PRC's coattails. I'll link you the guidebook anyhow. It's more geared towards the hosts (duh) but it covers all the bases on rules. Step 5 is what you want primarily. Pardon all the edits.

STEP 5 - The Voting Stage
==============================================================================
So, the mixing stage is over. You've got a nice bunch of entries. And now it's
time to go with the voting stage!
Since this will run pretty much automatically, you will need to make a post in
your OCRemix thread regarding it. State what the voters should do in whatever
format you want:
- Visit the stated ThaSauce page and listen to all the entries
- Scroll to the form at the bottom of the screen
- Fill it in, filing the entries (or if there's four or more, only three) from
first to third (or in the case of two, leaving the third place tab blank)
- State a reasoning for it.
Remember to state the bonuses as well - the vote for the winner of the
previous round counts twice, as they made an important contribution to
starting up the contest to begin with. (This rule isn't enforced in special
contests.) And all contestants will get three points (the value for a first
place vote) added to their score if they vote too. Their vote won't work at
all for two-entry PRCs though, as both their first place vote and bonus will
cancel each other out.
And finally, remember to state the final details - the closing date/time for
voting, and what the winner will receive (in the event of a normal MnP it
would be the chance to choose the source tune for the next one after that; if
it's a special one, it would be the prize you stated at the beginning).
Once you've posted the page, it's all a case of putting all this into
practice.
Let's go back to the "Admin" page on the C:TS server, and back onto "MnP".
Click on the round.
You should get two lists underneath the blurb you stated at the beginning -
a list of rounds and a list of votes. Hopefully you might have already been
here to delete any disqualified entries or bonus-ify some mixes.
When votes come in, they would get tabbed in automatically. This is where
the bonuses would indeed be added in. But everything becomes different
depending on the amount of entries, so this is how everything would be
tabulated appropriately.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|ROUND QUANTITY | NORMAL VOTE | PREVIOUS WINNER | CONTESTANT |
| | 1ST | 2ND | 3RD | 1ST | 2ND | 3RD | 1ST | 2ND | 3RD |
|---------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|2 ENTRIES | 3 2 - | 6 4 - | - - - |
|3 ENTRIES | 3 2 1 | 6 4 2 | 3 2 - |
|4+ ENTRIES | 3 2 1 | 6 4 2 | 3 2 1 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To apply these alterations and the stated bonuses above, click on the "edit"
button for any of these entries and replace the "Score" value with the new
one.
Once you've got the new scores in, make sure you check that you've done the
right thing. Once you're convinced that you've adjusted the scores to what
they should be like, you should be doing just fine.
One last thing - be sure to check for duplicate IPs! Nineko tried to spoil the
PRC vote with duplicate IPs back in PRC76's Decap Attack contest (and quite a
few others before that, whenever he took part), so you have to be really
careful over who submitted what. Luckily, there's an IP address field in the
list of voters, so if in doubt, cite it. It is also possible to allow multiple
entries.
