- A survivor will be done with each group. The survivors will be conducted conventionally, with the song with the least amount of points (+1 for a save and -1 for an off) being eliminated each round. The survivors will continue until the group has been cut in half (5 rounds to leave 5 songs remaining).
- After all groups (A, B, C, and D) have been whittled down to 5 songs each, the 20 songs remaining in the tournament will be rearranged into two new groups (E and F).
- The same process will be repeated to get groups E and F down to 5 songs each. Then, the 10 songs remaining in the tournament will form Group G.
- One final survivor will be held, with songs bowing out one at a time, until one winner emerges.
Here's the process in list form:
1. Group A survivor until 5 songs remain Done!
2. Group B survivor until 5 songs remain Done!
3. Group C survivor until 5 songs remain Done!
4. Group D survivor until 5 songs remain Done!
5. Rearranging of 20 remaining songs into groups E and F Done!
6. Group E survivor until 5 songs remain Done!
7. Group F survivor until 5 songs remain
IN PROGRESS
8. 10 remaining songs become group G
9. Group G survivor until one song remains (the winner)
--
10. A new tournament set is created using the d all stations + recurrents pop radio top 40, where d is the day after the winner of the last tournament is declared
