This is a great idea.Varis wrote:Perhaps you don't need to even remove 15 songs, just remove any past winners. Put them in the "March Madness Pantheon" and see who gets to join them there this year.
That's not a bad idea.stip wrote:A toilet bowl format is a neat idea but given the size of the tournament we would be here until August.
I'm leaning towards taking out the top 15 teams from last time, running the tournament, and then putting that winner into a final 16. We have a new winner every year so I'd like to see whose turn it is
Hey Varis, KD just called your idea dumbKevin Davis wrote:Varis's idea is nice but lacks the unnecessary complexity of my idea.

NCAA Basketball-
32 conference champions (31 of which are determined by end of season conference tournament)
36 at-large selections by committee
Four play-in games
Single elimination 64 team tournament.
-----
Suggestion for next year's PJ March Madness-
Set up 15-20 "conferences" based on albums, b-sides, collections, etc...
Have "conference tournaments" to start narrowing field to 64
"Conference" winners (or maybe top 2) automatically get into field of 64 and seeded on the top lines
Have all remaining songs be put into a large pool and have everyone vote for their top 10-15 from the pool.
Top remaining vote getters fill out the rest of the seeds
Single elimination 64 song tournament
With this, we get individual album winners, plus a vote driven field of the 64 best tunes.
Spoiler: hide
"Conferences"
1. Ten
2. Vs
3. Vitalogy
4. No Code
5. Yield
6. Binaural
7. Riot Act
8. Lost Dogs 1
9. Lost Dogs 2
10. S/T
11. Backspacer
12. Lightning Bolt
13. Stray Cats (non Lost Dogs B-sides)
14. Misc Covers
15. Misc Demos/Rarities 1
16. Misc Demos/Rarities 2
Top 2 from each gets automatically in as a 1, 2, 3, or 4 seed
