In this round we start the process of bringing back songs from the dead. This is sort of a side process for eliminated songs. After round 3, we will be down to 18 songs, but two songs eliminated in either round 1, 2, or 3 will be brought back into the competition at this point to create a top 20. All song duplicates, i.e. "rooms" versions, will not be eligible to be brought back. From each section rank 4 songs 1 - 4 to determine points awarded. 1) 3 points 2) 2 points 3) 1 point 4) .5 points Two songs from each section will be brought back to compete for a chance to return later on. Songs are listed in the groups they were eliminated in, with Groups A-D in Section X and Groups E-H in Section Y. Just to clarify, the groups are there simply to keep things organized, they aren't important for voting. All that matters is that you rank 4 from each section.
