**Please Note I am suggesting two rule changes for next year. . .both of which will be up for voting in the A round. . .
  I'd like to suggest the year end song of the tournament entries are based on the top 2 songs, regardless of letter, for each round (to discourage people from entering something just because they'll have less competition-and that way everyone picks their best song)

and

  I'd also like to suggest a rule change that puts the voting period back to 2 weeks instead of 3 so that it doesn't drag out all year. . .

A/B will be a three week voting period, per current rules, and also per current rules, these changes won't be up for voting until the A/B competition--I'm simply putting the idea out there, I did note a few times where people may have hurt their Author of the Tournament standings by picking a song from the harder letter, I don't have a problem with that nor should anyone else, but I also think that changing this rule will help make sure people pick by what they have that is their best entry for either letter rather than picking the letter where competition is lighter. . .

I agree with your 2nd rule change but not your first. I like winning just because there's no competition, It's a loophole I look forward to all round  ;)

Note: I would also be up for a rule change that the moderator should send out PMs to the contestants that the deadline is approaching. Although a 2 week voting period might make things easier on all of us.

You can put in for that rule change, but just so you know I will oppose it and probably resign as moderator of this contest if it is passed not because of anything personal, but because I do not have the time to check on everyone else meeting their deadlines anymore than teachers have time to remind you or I of papers that we haven't turned in when they are coming up.

Whoa Matty, thanks for the votes here! Karma coming to you.

I for one am a proponent of 3 week voting periods...it staggers itself away from the other ongoing contests and your subrule of no extensions kept most people in check.

My votes:
1pts=Bluberina
2pts=Profile: A Macho Ignoramus
3pts=Medical Cureall
4pts=In France
5pts=C Is For Cookie
6pts=Rhymezone's For

The second idea is getting mixed opinions from personal contacts as well. . .and I myself am unsure on it, so I may not suggest it, though if someone else does I'll leave it up for voting come next set. . .

The first rule I'm definitely suggesting though as I feel a little more strongly about that one. . .Karma to you!

At this point only 19 of the 29 entries are represented by votes (the three people with the most entries that took a letter, ironically, are also the first three to vote)  but that means that the entrants for 10 letters HAVE NOT voted. . .while voting IS optional I have to remind people that not voting means your entries cannot win the Song of the Tournament vote either. . .if anyone wants an extension please let me know

I'm planning on voting in the next day or two, just need to catch some of the songs I missed.  That's before the deadline, right?  :)

I'm a bit confused. Is it necessary to comment again for parodies I've already read for the previous rounds, or is it not? It seems not to be because out of the four people who have voted, only one has commented on my parody specifically for the Song of the Tournament (Christie), with the other three having previously commented on it for the ABC round it was in. What exactly is required, commenting-wise? I need to know before I do something wrong...

I don't think you need to read them again. I know I didn't.

Wow, Lady Gaga got a fair showing, didn't she? Can't believe I still haven't parodies any of her stuff. Oh well, maybe someday I'll get to it (like I'll get to finishing the Epic 40, Decepticon Idiot, and the Big 7 About Harry Potter, ie not for a while as I have severe motivation problems...).

I am doing an unasked extension for this one because I know Jeff wanted to vote--I will give until the 20th, at which points barring any additional requests, the actual results will be posted. . .as of right now, just ten points (one vote) separates 12th from 1st, and just 20 points (two votes) separates 24th from 1st. . .that means the entire field is realistically still in this. . .SO VOTE!!!  You cannot have the song of the tournament if you don't. . .
