In this game, the cello is in the spotlight. We have nominated 260 compositions, which will now be pitted against each other in twenty preliminary rounds, three semi-finals and one final.

Voting Rules:

1. You may vote once daily (your calendar day).

2. To vote, please:
- copy/paste the previous post
- remove the (+x) by the previous poster
- add your votes and include your own (+x) after them
- after posting, please check whether someone else has posted just before you
- if so, adjust your post accordingly
- please do not bold the compositions you vote for, please do not use different colours
- if you want, you can bold the composition reaching the finish line (60)
- please do not delete the reminder statement about halfway the compositions list

3. When you vote, you will have 10 upward points to use as you wish except that no work may receive more than 3 points.

4. The Half-Time Adjustment is not in effect.

5. The round ends with the first composition to collect 60 points.

At the end of the round, the top three compositions will move to the semi-final (I'll use a tiebreaker if required - the last time there was a difference between the compositions involved).

The full list of the 10 preliminary rounds can be found here.
