Forum Section - Idm/Electronica Championship 2004



2
nd year of the championships but with one big difference. No Orbital this time around. We decided to make the competition fair and remove the 2003 winners.

The idea is as below

A list is produced which will contain IDM/Electronica etc artists/groups/people. Originally i had 76 in my list so the first task was for everyone to browse the list and suggest any others that are not on there. We discussed whether we should include Orbital and after a mixed response we stuck them in. Whether they still in next year is another question.

When the agreed qualification list was complete (It grew to 135 enteries!) we started the qualification round. Everyone was entitled to vote for their top 10 once and once only. There was an agreed cut-off date and the points was then counted. 10 points for 1st team in list, 9 points for 2nd team in list and so on.

The top 32 artists was then drawn from a virtual hat and placed into 8 groups of 4. The 2nd stage of voting then began.

Everyone then voted on which two artists/groups from each group should qualify for the next round.

16 artists were then left and they were drawn out of the virtual hat to compete in a knockout competition. The third stage of voting then began.

Within time the knockout stage went through each round from Knockout Round 1, Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and then the ultimate Final.
