Star Wars Complicated Rules: That's why we have to meet at bars so much...
Phase
One: Have to drink beer. Both coaches submit 34 (Two groups of
17) names of music singers/groups/bands. Naming the teams from bottom up, if
both coaches have the same group, the higher ranked person, LOCKS them in at
that spot. Losing coach submits another group in. Guest coaches usually go into
the 6th seed, but this is not actually official.
The Signore "They Gone" Elimination Rule:
There is a one-time turn where one can eliminate any of your opponent's entries (Top 5 excluded) from the Star Wars. One has to time one's move, you say "They Gone" as soon as the other coach announces the band. You can't know what groups are ranked higher so pick your spot. Signore was pleased with himself when he came upon this plan of action. "A step in the right direction. I will do whatever I can to get rid of some of the vermin that has been creeping into the tournament."

Phase Two: Have to drink beer. Locked teams and guest teams don't move, but otherwise, the final locking of positions is put in. However, Phase Two allows coaches to 'cut' any team and put in any un-claimed team into these spots.
Ewing Down Syndrome Rule: Coach can do a one-time: switch any two teams (up to 5 spots) from opposing coach's list. Top 3 teams are immune. So beware of who you put in Star Wars. Your opponent will often ''bring up'' your stupidist group to force you to have a better chance at winning the CD you don't want.
Note: The Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced Rule: No team can occupy any Top 3 slot unless they have previous Star Wars experience. New Bands can NOT simply start off in a great spot. They have to earn it.
Note: Talking Heads Same As It Ever Was Injuction: Winning team from last year automatically gets entered back in with winning coach. They are required to be re-entered. They can't be tossed out, they can't get Bigballed but they can be Downedsyndromed.
Bon Scott Big Balls Move: New for 2012. Signore Rule. BigBalling: With coinflips determine the move, a coach can eliminate ANY team and replace it with a different band. The band must be considered under the radar, and it can be from any era. It can NOT be used to force an opponent to take a band he hates.
The Extra Expansion Teams: 65,66,67,68 teams. The Floaters always get in. They were in the very first StarWars and have been a participant ever since. The only team to do this, I believe. They always suck and they always have to be a lowly 16-seed. New for 2012: The previous season Runner-up band (or highest finishing band from previous year not in Star Wars) gets a re-invite. The two teams that get black-balled get to come back in as well. The higher of the original seeded bands gets the highest re-entry spot. This may result in uneven number of bands for each coach, and the placement is somewhat a judgement call, but remember, we are under time constraints and these teams probably aren't going too far anyway.
This should result in the final brackets!
