Rounds

QUALIFIER: This is the first show bands will play in Metal Wars. The band with the highest score from the Judges and the band with the most Fan votes will advance to the next round.  If one band has both the highest Judge score and the most Fan votes, then only that band will advance to the Semi-Final.  If more than one band ties with the the highest Judge score or the most Fan votes, then each tying band will advance.

SEMI-FINAL: The band that advances from the Semi-Final will be determined by a 75-25 Judge to Fan Vote ratio.  In the event of a tie, the tie breaker will be Fan Vote. If that does not break the tie, a Judge(s) re-vote will break the tie.

CHAMPIONSHIP: The winner of Metal Wars will be chosen by Judges Votes.  In the event of a tie, a Judge(s) re-vote will break the tie.    top
