Stockton Presents: Bracket Challenge is a spin-off competition of Plastics Song Contest. It introduces choosing a winner via bracket voting. It is the same format as the first three editions of In Stockton. 16 countries are set to compete.

Knockout Stage
After the 16 songs have been determined, they will be placed into a bracket at random, with there being 4 rounds. Each panelist will give each song in the match-up a 1 or 2. For every round up to the final round, each panelist can play a wildcard.


 * In the Round of 16, each country has a 5, 4 and 3 point wildcard to play.
 * In the Quarter-finals, each country has a 4 and 3 point wildcard to play.
 * In the semi-finals, each country has a 3 point wildcard to play.

The song with the most points in each match-up will move on, until there is a winner! Countries do not vote in their own match-ups. Eliminated countries are still required to vote in match-ups following their elimination.

Participating Countries
To sign-up, simply add your country to the table in an open slot. There is a strict 16 country cap for this edition. If there is enough interest, Stockton will bow out.

You are also allowed to confirm your entry. The only restriction is it can not have competed in Plastics Song Contest edition 1-5.
