Part 2: Keeper Voting
Note: Only certain songs are eligible for the Keeper Voting
Click here to vote in the Keeper Voting
Songs: Currently Closed

Higher seeds win tiebreakers.  Seeds are determined on Level 1 based on weeks on the chart with #1 being on the longest.  Seeds are determined on Levels 2-10 first by level (higher level = better seed) and then by normal voting tiebreakers (for when two songs from the same level are eligible).  For Levels 2-10, the reason why the song is eligible is listed in parentheses after the artist name.

You are allowed to vote once per survey. Please come back  and vote in as many surveys as you can to vote each week.

B. New Songs:
As of the Level Points Voting for Monday, June 17th the following are songs new to the DCMF Voting process and will have their 1st week on the chart be the 6/23 to 6/29/13 edition of the DCMF Chart:

“There’s the Sun” by Kix Brooks
“Kiss Me” by Kayla Calabrese
“Best Thing” by Andy Gibson
“She Will Be Free” by Josh Abbott Band
“Stepping Stones” by Lockets
“Shadows of the Heartland” by Sawyer Brown
“Before the Devil Knows We’re Dead” by Turnpike Troubadours
“Summertime Girl” by Aaron Watson

Songs are added to the DCMF Chart in one of four ways:
1. It is the official “Add Date” of the Single
2. A single with either a currently unknown Add Date or a future Add Date is located anywhere on the weekly publications for the MediaBase or Billboard Charts
3. The song enters the Top 50 on the Texas Regional Radio Report
4. You (fan or artist) request the song to be added by e-mailing dcmfchart@gmail.com. The song must be an official current single by the artist with or without an official Add Date and can be for any artist who sings Country Music.

On occasion, I might add a single without it meeting any of these three requirements if I feel it should be added.

C. Inactive Songs:
The following songs have been declared inactive and have been removed from the DCMF Voting.  Song can become inactive through losing the Keeper Voting or if the artist releases a new single (weeks inactive in parentheses, any songs at 3 are being removed from the chart entirely after the week listed below):

These songs are considered inactive for the voting for the chart week of 6/23 to 6/29/13 and will be represented as such on the chart based on the number of weeks the song has been inactive.  The reasons for a song being declared inactive are the artist has released a new single or the song has been voted inactive as part of the DCMF Keeper Voting.

The last week on the chart for songs with a (3) after them is the next chart, the 6/23 to 6/29/13 edition
The last week for songs with a (2) after them is the 6/30 to 7/6/13 edition
The last week for songs with a (1) after them is the 7/7 to 7/13/13 edition

D. Tiebreakers:
In the event of a tie in any voting process, the song that has been on the chart the longest wins.  If that does not break the tie the song that was higher on the chart the previous week wins.
In the event of a tie after the chart has been calculated, the song with the most Level Points wins. If the songs are still tied, the song that had the largest increase in points wins.  If the tie has yet to be broken, the song that has been on the chart the longest wins.  If that still does not break the tie, the song that was higher on the chart previous weeks wins.
In the event of a tie for the #1 song at the maximum score of 125 points, the song who was ranked higher (with or without tiebreakers) on the Impression Points Voting that week wins.  If the songs are tied at a number less than 125 points, the normal tiebreakers apply.
