March Madness 2022 - Release Wins!

[wease]

Actually, I quite like the idea.

[Kevin Davis]

Someone remind me of this in a year, but I want to keep the three song first round format next year, and maybe use ranked choice voting - if a song doesn't win an absolute majority (50%+1 of the votes) the match stays open and the poll resets by the lowest scoring song is no longer a voting option

Surely ABNorman's recordkeeping is thorough enough to implement some kind of complex, difficult-to-understand handicap system that would make it extremely easy for "In the Moonlight" to win, yeah?

[Norah]

Oh I'll be stewing about this for a year!

In all seriousness someone suggested we use that model, and we've already had a few matches where it might have altered the outcome so it would be interesting to see how that might impact things. Plus i like to find a new gimmick each year

That was me. I suggested that.

How would you navigate a Strangest Tribe/In the Moonlight final?

There's no evidence of that

With a great deal of hollow, meaningless satisfaction!

This years tournament is wild. Happy to see this craziness.

[Bammer]

How many more rounds will offer 3 choices?

Or is that first round only?

[stip]

round 1 only.

[ABNorman]

Largest vote difference in March Madness history: Porch 878 - Aye Davanita 23 in 2006.

I don't yet have things set up to do that analysis just for the RM-only years.

[Anders]

Wow that is a lot of votes.

[ABNorman]

Wow that is a lot of votes.

2006/2007 were run on theskyiscrape.com, not RM, so a much lower barrier to entry.

[warehouse]

is this where i complain about yellow ledbetter losing already?

[stip]

I'm going to be out at 8, so I need to shut this round down early. Match 34 is tied so it'll stay open one more day
