Red Mosquito

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 THREE hour time limit to keep things moving 5 (6 for the wrap arounds). 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.


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

I tried to post the vid from my phone. Can someone hook it up?

please be sure to PM the next person after your pick

On it. Stip get that vid in there - it's a champ

So the guy who said 'I'd love to get pick 26' ''''''randomly''''' creates the list and gets pick 26, THIS IS NOT RIGGED AT ALL.

thip is messaged

Note to Bada and Kneetunes: Please don't PM me. I've got this.

Everyone else can PM him though.

DON'T LISTEN TO HEATHER, THAT'S NOT TRUE. NOBODY PM ME PLEASE. THANKS

count me in

I was waiting for this.

That's why I posted the photo, so everyone could see it. And there's a time stamp on it. And I also gave others the chance to speak up and voice concerns.

I'm pretty sure I don't stand a real chance in this one anyway. So I'll pick where the fuck ever. JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND I'LL DO IT

I think this tourney after the draft is complete, there should be a 24 hour trading window before voting begins. Each team would still need 10 songs after the trading period though so you could only trade equal numbers of songs.

no trades!

Interesting idea. I'd like to explore that in future tournaments.
