How do I vote??
Every day we'll be posting three head-to-head matches for a total of six songs. It's as simple as listening completely through both songs in a given match, then posting your vote for your favorite! So long as you complete the very important "listen completely through" you can even just vote in a few matches. We'll be posting the loop points on all the songs in the topic so you know exactly how long you have to listen for to hear all of them. Voting will be up for a full 24 hours from the second the day's topic is posted, and closes after 24 hours on the dot. Be careful!! If the topic is posted early by some amount for some reason, then voting will end the next top of the hour after 24 hours have passed.

If you anticipate being away for a few days, feel free to post advance votes either here in this thread, or send them via DM to @banshiryuu !!
