America's Favorite BHANGRA Crew!

In sum, I just think there will be too much voting bias if you didn't do this.

Let me guess final 2 will be SGPD and VCU

Vivek...wise words from a vet....SGPD and VCU are the teams of the time...not taking anything away from how good they are, but once bhangra teams become dominant...there are no difficult choices for anyone to make...hahaha..everyones just gonna pick SGPD and VCU over most everybody...its like if we did this back in the day...KJ would win inevitably...

this is a waste of time and effort in my opinion.

I agree with this... i feel like its going to come down to these teams because they are not only the most popular on BTF, but they are dominant. Why go through "rounds", when we know wat the end result will be, esp here on BTF.

i agree that it is going to be really biased. we should have a ranking system or something, something similar to desidanceteams.com

Well, Bhangra Circuit Database (BCD) is still in the works. I thought I'd implement this as I finalize that project.

If you guys have suggestions on how to not make this biased, feel free. I will be implementing an IP block for votes so one can only vote once per IP. I will be checking IPs here and there to make sure there isn't any abuse.

The key problem I have with categories is the uneven number of groups. For example, if we have a LIVE category, there may only be 10 teams while a MUSIC category might have 50. What we can do, and this is for you guys, so your suggestions matter to me, is have uneven brackets. Find the best co-ed live team and the best single-gendered live team, and then find the best live team. Do the same for the modern category.

If we do that, (and let me know what you think about that), we need to finalize our categories in a pyramidal scheme. What categories should we take into account? (LIVE/MUSIC, SINGLE-GENDER/CO-ED) Anything else?

By that logic though, if SGPD submits their Masti performance, then VCU, Empire and SGPD will match-up in the Best of Music and only one of them will go into final two.
