If anyone else wants in while we're hammering out the rules let me know, and we'll see if we can make it work. Otherwise, here's what I'm thinking for the preliminary rules/format. Let me know what you guys would change/add/subtract.
We'll draft the same as all the drafts here seem to go; The last person in one round is the first person in the next round. I was originally going to propose six rounds, with everyone forced to make a pick in each round, but I'm thinking maybe we should alter that. You pick until you've assembled a complete line up. If that means you only make three picks, so be it. If it takes you seven rounds, that's fine too. Once you've completed your line up, you'll just be removed from the draft order in the next round.
Once the draft is over, give your band a name (per doug rr's request). Everyone will then have the opportunity to make a presentation post to state their case for their band. You can include whatever you want in this post. It can be clips of the various members performing, explanations as to why you think your band would work/have chemistry, who would be responsible for composing the material, what you'd imagine they'd sound like, anything really. If you just want to post their names and what they'll be playing and leave it at that, that's cool too. You can put whatever you want in these posts. It's your chance to sway people's opinions into your camp.
We'll then randomly generate four match ups and have people vote on which "band" they prefer. The criteria is up to each voter. Vote on who you think would be better live, make a better studio record, whatever. I'm open to suggestions as to how long we should keep each round of voting open. We'll whittle it down to a final four, and then a championship round.
So yeah, what would you guys want to change/add/etc.?
