This is a new game so pay a little attention to the rules.

At the beginning of the game I choose a pair of albums( for example Black Sabbath's Paranoid vs. Deep Purple's In Rock). You can vote in favor of one of these two albums. The album that gets FIVE votes first wins and goes to the SECOND ROUND.
The person who voted FIRST in the Paranoid vs. In Rock poll gets the right to choose the next pair of albums( for example Metallica's Master of Puppets vs. Slayer's Reign in blood). Again the album which gets five votes first goes to the SECOND ROUND. Again the person who voted FIRST in the Master of Puppets vs. Reign in blood poll gets the right to choose the next pair of albums etc......
We continue in this way until we reach the number of THIRTY -TWO winning albums.

SECOND ROUND
When we reach the number of THIRTY -TWO winning albums ROUND TWO begins. In this round, the person who voted FIRST in the previous poll, chooses TWO out of the winning THIRTY-TWO albums and puts them to ""fight"" against each other. The album which gets FIVE votes first goes to the THIRD ROUND.
The person who voted FIRST in the previous poll, chooses TWO out of the REMAINING THIRTY albums and puts them to "fight" against each other.The album which gets FIVE votes first goes to the THIRD ROUND.
The person who voted FIRST in the previous poll, chooses TWO out of the REMAINING TWENTY-EIGHT albums and puts them to "fight" against each other.The album which gets FIVE votes first goes to the THIRD ROUND etc......
We continue in this way and at the end of the SECOND ROUND there are SIXTEEN remaining albums. In the exact same way in the end of the THIRD ROUND there are EIGHT remaining albums, at the end of the FOURTH ROUND there are FOUR remaining albums, at the end of the FIFTH ROUND (semifinals) there are TWO remaining albums and at the end of the SIXTH ROUND there is ONE remaining album( the champion album).

SOME ADDITIONAL NOTES
1.In the FIRST ROUND the same album CANNOT appear more than ONCE . For example if I choose the pair Black Sabbath's Paranoid vs. Deep Purple's In Rock, you CANNOT put in your pair neither Paranoid nor In Rock.

2.In the FIRST ROUND, AND ONLY IN THE FIRST ROUND instead of voting in favor of one album you can vote ""NONE OF THEM"". For example, if I choose the pair Nevermind vs.Black Album, and you believe that both these albums SUCK, you can vote ""NONE OF THEM". If in a certain poll there are five "NONE OF THEM" votes, BEFORE the END of this poll, then BOTH albums LOSE.

3. The person who created a certain poll CANNOT create the next poll as well. If the person who voted FIRST in a certain poll is the person who created this specific poll, then the right to create the next poll goes AUTOMATICALLY to the person who voted SECOND.

4.If the person who has the right to create the next poll does not create a poll in the following TWENTY-FOUR hours, after the end of the previous poll, then ANYONE can replace him/her and create the new poll.

5.In the first THREE ROUNDS the album which gets FIVE votes wins; In the FOURTH ROUND the album which gets TEN votes wins; in the SEMIFINALS the album which gets TWENTY votes wins; in the FINAL the album which gets THIRTY votes wins.

6. I am the referee of this game, so if there are any misunderstandings about the rules, I will explain what is going to happen and why.
