Clarification on Irregular Results
As we host this enjoyable annual event, our goal is to try to ensure fairness for all participants to the best of our ability. While it may not be feasible to detect every instance of misconduct, one recent poll result had several irregularities where the number of votes exceeded a reasonable threshold for both schools. As a result, both schools were removed from bracket considerations for the remainder of Madness.
To the individuals from the associated schools who voted fairly and with integrity, we want to deeply apologize for this result. We understand that most individuals did not partake in the misconduct, and that a few bad apples ruin it for everyone else. However, we can not move forward knowing this action could happen again. This result DOES NOT reflect on schools and choirs themselves, but rather than the individuals who perpetrated the misconduct. Show Choir Madness is done to promote unity in the show choir community, and when it devolves into voting irregularities and nasty messages, it no longer serves its intended purpose. HomeRoom Show Choir always reserves the rights to take action on any voting irregularities that may occur.
The highest vote-getter (that lost) from their first round matchups will take the unclaimed spot in the Round of 16 --- Huntington North "Varsity Singers."
Check out the updated bracket in the link above for future matchups. Round of 16 voting will commence at noon Central on April 8. See you there!
