Best Decade Tournament - 80s: Koopee wins!

[stip]

This will be a best decade tournament--6 tournaments in one. We will have a tournament for the 60s, 70, 80s, 90s, and 2000s (2000-2009). The top two teams of each decade will face each other in the final tournament.

Each team for each decade will draft 10 songs in the traditional snake style. You cannot draft multiple songs from the same artist/group, but you can take songs from the same artist across multiple projects (so Eric Clapton solo and Cream would be fine)

We're going with a flat 4 hour time limit to keep things moving. So PM your picks to a proxy if you're within a few turns and are heading out/off to bed. To keep things moving every time your turn is skipped (after the first) one hour comes off your time limit.


One team per decade but you can participate in as many decades as you want

Each tournament is separate, so drafting an artist from one decade does not invalidate them for another


Voting starts on page 51.

What's the rule in these touraments with a song that appears on an album released at the end of one decade, but isn't released as a single till the next decade?

[numbers]

What's the rule in these touraments with a song that appears on an album released at the end of one decade, but isn't released as a single till the next decade?

I was thinking about that myself, if my opinion means anything I think it should go by when the album was released.

[i got bugs]
