SvS: RED vs BLUE OFFICIAL POSTGAME PLAYLIST

Powered By:

The RED vs BLUE Game marks the beginning of an 8-week SvS regular season, where each week the players face off using a new song. From Wednesday through Saturday, songs are displayed in a playlist format as fans rate each song on a 1–10 scale, producing the Average Public Rating Score (APRS). Judges score songs across three core categories, Delivery, Song Quality, and Radio Readiness, each from 1–10, generating Performance Points (PPs).

APRS and PPs are combined to generate each player’s overall score for the week, which directly determines the official SvS Power Rankings throughout the season.

At the conclusion of the regular season, the top six-ranked players will clinch playoff berths and advance to contend for the SvS–US National Championship, the league’s premier individual title.

Final weekly results will be revealed every Sunday night on SvS: ON THE CLOCK, the league’s official game-results show, airing at 8:00 PM.

Congratulations to the RED Team on a historic win, and to all players for outstanding teamwork and cross-promotion execution in maximizing exposure for the game. For more information on the league, visit www.songvssongsports.com
