Aight, I'll be taking over for Rill--uh...MotivatedMidwestMogul from here on out as he enjoys his stay in camp. I've recieved his full endorsement, so think of me as him, only over 5' 6".
From what I can see, we still need a few more contestants before we can start round 1. New thread (that I can edit as needed, obv) coming soon, but until then sign up here. Here's what we got as of now, far as I know:

Rules
1. No seeding. Matchups will be paired by "pulling numbers from a hat" so to speak.
2. Each round will have a specific song category. There will be 4 rounds/categories. (For example, if the first round's category is "Featured verse", all 16 contestants in the first round should post a song where they fell they killed the "Featured verse". If the second round's category is "Story telling song", the remaining 8 contestants should post a S.T.S...and so forth.. ) This will help with making sure the songs in question are comparable, while also adding suspense, and insuring a diverse competition. it's not absolutely necessary for a contestant's song to fit into the chosen category. Every one doesn't make the same music after all.... but judging should be harsher for songs that do not fit the criteria. It's only fair.
3. Once the category is announced for each round, contestants should PM/email the host a link to their song so that the host can update the brackets for the round. The judges then have a week to reply back to the host of the tourny with their decisions for the round. At a predetermined time, the host will then post the winners and the tourny will move on from there.
A couple thoughts...
- Using PMs efficiently is paramount if we're to run this smoothly and with coordination. Between the start of the round and the end of it a full week later, I believe 7 days is more than enough time to decide what to post, figure out where to send it, and have it judged objectively.
-If music videos are used in place of MP3s or other audio, I opt that they be judged SOLEY on the musical content and not the imagery.
-The host has to be commited and reliable. I haven't been a music forum regular in a very long time so I can't make the call and I have no opinion on who should host and who should judge.
-Once we start this thing, it will be a month until it's finished. Trying to move it any faster won't work, but if it goes any slower it will die out anyway. It's up to us to stay active and keep it alive if we DO get this cracking.... Anybody without the attention span to see it through shouldn't participate. I'm just saying.
Again, this is your new captain speaking...please keep this thread active until we get 5 more contestants and 3 judges. Kthxholla.
