32 songs are vulnerable (songs knocked out in first round). 10 of these songs will be ineligable to compete in next year's tournament. This will provide spots for 10 new competitors into the competition to keep next year's tournament fresh.
Post your list of the 10 songs you think are the weakest from the list. Then search through the Hip's extensive catalogue to replace them in next year's tourney*. I will eventually tally up the results, to compose next years list of 64 songs.
*Only select songs that have been officially released on a Tragically Hip CD. No Demos/Rarities will be considered. Also make sure that the songs you select were not involved in the 2007 tournament.

I am going to have to think about this one... I would have liked to see more than just 10 songs replaced though. I understand only asking us to post 10, but I really think that say 16 or even 20 of them should be replaced.

Why not just make it like the FA Cup - an open tournament with all songs. Do three or four matches per day. Once a round is over, hold another draw to select matchups instead of having pre-selected brackets like in the NCAA hoops tourney.

That's just a lot of work for Shane...probably why he hasn't done it that way from the start.
You could write a program to do it. Just ask srb!
