This will be a best decade tournament--6 tournaments in one. We will have a tournament for the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010->. 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 THREE 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. If you are skipped you can pick immediately upon returning. If you've been skipped in the past an hour is shaved off your time. Lets keep this thing moving!
