Rules and Scoring
Song Recognition Challenge
There are 20 song snippets per category, and the object is to come up with the title
and artist for as many songs as possible. There is no time limit, so take as long as
you need, and listen to each sample as many times as you'd like. If you only complete
a portion of a category your answers will be saved so that you can return to Oakesville
later and finish the remaining songs. One point is awarded for each correct title, and
one point is awarded for each correct artist. There is no penalty for guessing or
leaving answers blank (zero points are awarded for each blank or incorrect answer).
Incomplete answers for a category may be supplemented at any time up until the user
clicks on the "Request Scoring" button for that category. Scoring is performed off-line,
and awarding of points is solely at the discretion, whim and caprice of the Oakesville
judging committee (i.e. Skip and Don).
The correct answers will be published in a few weeks once the contest is finished.
Prizes: The winner will be awarded a brand spanking new t-shirt from the Decemberists Shop
featuring the unmistakable visage of Colin Meloy.
