Ugh, just realized I have these in inverted order. Petition to list from strongest to weakest instead of the other way around, and you can just say 4-6 is the lesser trio and 1-3 is the greater trio?

Now that I've had the chance to actually contribute to a set, I can definitely say I agree that it feels more natural to list nominations from strongest to weakest. When you're coming up with the list, you're obviously choosing the best songs first, and it feels right to have 1 be the best in a numbered list of 1-2-3-4-5-6-Alt. Plus it works out for drawing supports during nominations since people probably skim the first few songs of each lineup.

Now, this wouldn't have to affect the bracket ordering; you can just have 4-6 in the first rounds and 1-3 in later rounds, so the weak songs still come first. I'd be fine with ordering my lineup to create this increasing progression provided that the general public does the same...if there were enough people trying to game this and make their strong songs come first, I'd be tempted to do the same so I don't just lose from two weak vs. strong matchups at the beginning. My hope is that everyone can agree to follow some pre-established ordering (whether it's 1-6 = weakest-strongest or strongest-weakest) so everything's on a level playing field.
