Since there are only three people advancing in the Singles tourney, I'm doing a special style round for this week for them to get us back to 2 people for the last round. Details in the first post. Doubles music will go up soon.

Round 1 music is up. Voting takes place in the Public Voting forum.

Ethan, Xarnax, and Helicopter Knife Fight.

I got five remixes. What the heck, guys?

Well, I don't think you should quit, but if that's what you're gonna do I can't really stop you. If Jason is quitting too then I need to find another team to fill the spot. If he's not then he needs to find another collaborator or go solo through the doubles tourney, which I really wanted to avoid.

Are you quitting?

Match-ups are live.

Sorry for the delay, matchups will go up at 3PM instead.

Alright folks. Here's what I'm doing. Sixto told me yesterday that he'll be very busy in the coming weeks, so he's bowing out of the competition. Disappointing to be sure, but that's how it goes sometimes. Since we had five Doubles teams and now seven Singles artists, I've decided to move Sir_NutS and Jivemaster into the Singles tourney under their collaborative artist name "Helicopter Knife Fight." Given that they've worked together before and have published music under that artist name, I feel like this makes the most sense. Timaeus and GrapplingHook will be paired together for the Doubles tourney, as they are both interested in Doubles and don't have partners. Now we have 8 artists in Singles, and 4 teams for Doubles. These are great numbers and I feel I can lock in the competitors now. I'll be running the draft this weekend and the Singles tourney will begin their mixing stage most likely on Sunday. You all have until Saturday evening to lock-in your Knight picks, so make sure you get those posted on the forums. If you haven't already, make sure you fill out the Competitions Consent form. I really need these filled out so that we can do a proper archival release on OCR at the end of the competition. Thank you everyone for signing up. This is going to be a great competition and I'm looking forward to what everyone's going to bring to the table.

Oh I'm sorry, I mean I only have you down for doubles. I don't have you down for singles.

I only have you down for singles.

Hi everyone. We're still looking for about six more people to compete. Please check the competitors tab of this document for a list of current sign-ups. Sixto, Xarnax, and Nabeel, you guys haven't posted your Singles or Doubles tourney preference. I would like to put you all in Singles because then that will be locked down to 8 people. Then we can look for 6 more people for the Doubles tourney.

Closed as requested by OP.

Jarel and rnn and I do hangout weekends every couple of months where we sit around and watch Kamen Rider and Super Sentai at my house. Aside from that, I just see OCR folks regularly at conventions and stuff. This year has been pretty crazy for that actually.

hrmmmm Well here's the thing. The rule about allowing outside collaborators is really something that came out of a discussion in the last WCRG. Some artists expressed that since they had access to session musicians, they should be able to make use of that. I had previously indicated that that kind of thing wouldn't be allowed, but they made a good case for it, pointing out that using session musicians was a lot like using specific sample libraries; i.e., just another tool in the toolbox. When you're competing in these competitions, it needs to be YOU that's competing, not you and all your friends. In the case of Doubles, it's YOU and YOUR PARTNER. I realize that people like to work with others, and that's great, but there's a certain point where I just have to say that you need to be working on your music yourself, and not relying on collaborators all the time. So I'm going to say "no." You can't bring in outside collaborators unless they are essentially just session musicians/vocalists. Don't bring in someone to do part-writing for you, don't bring in someone to write your drum tracks, don't bring in someone to write a killer synth solo, don't bring in someone to spruce up your production. YOU need to bring YOUR A-game, not everyone else's. This goes for both Singles and Doubles.

Perhaps I need to clarify a bit. Knights of the ReMix 2014 will feature two tourneys: a "Singles" tourney and a "Doubles" tourney. Each tourney will operate independently of each other; the draft will be separate. If you wish to compete by yourself, please indicate "Singles" in your post. If you wish to compete as a part of a two-man team, please indicate "Doubles" in your post, and post your teammate's artist name. If you don't have a teammate but still wish to compete in the "Doubles" tourney please say so and I can match you up with someone. I am looking for 24 people to compete: 8 for "Singles," and 16 for "Doubles."
