yeah.. sorry if I wasn't clear. The scope of running 256 albums against each other sort of called for a bit of fat trimming.
only the first round gets 4 albums against each other. To use the very top as an example. poll #1 will be a 4 band poll (the first 4 bands in the bracket from the top) Poll #2 will have the next 4 etc etc... Quatermass (1970) - Quatermass Eros (1981) - Dun Lord of the Rings (1970) - Bo Hansson Aja (1977) - Steely Dan we have a poll.. the top 2 vote getters move on and will fill the 2 2nd round bracket slots and will face each other in the 2nd round. doing that saved 4 weeks of polls.. this is going to be a long enough process as it is and thought it could be a nice twist as one will need to vote carefully as many (like me) will note many first round contests will have more than one album we really.. really adore.

But you're doing the whole round simultaneously though, aren't you, Micky? You're not doing it group for group? With two from each group going through from the first round, how will that save time? Won't two bands go through if it's head-to-head, too? So you're just having fewer polls, not saving time? Or am I way off now?

it saves a month. I figure 16 polls a week is likely the most we can or should do at one time
256 albums.. that is 128 polls (at 2 albums per ) and at 16 a week. That is two months to do the first round However If I do 4 albums per .. I cut the time needed to do the first round in half 256.. 64 polls (of 4 albums each). At 16 a week. That is one month to do the first round. after the first round.. it is business as usual. This week we do the top of the classic bracket, next week the top of the modern, the following weeks will be the bottoms of the classic and modern respectively. If it sounds confusing.. trust me.. t should be really clear as we move forward. |

OK, so you're not doing the whole classic first round in one go. Now I get it. Thanks for explaining.

Did I hear "Camel"?
I've missed this thread thus far, but I definitely heard... Hehe...  No, seriously, looking forward to another tournament.  Interesting albums being mentioned in the thread.

Camel hah...
  thanks! We did try to put together a good list. We could have easily added a bunch more. I've already thought of 2 I would have put on the list if it hadn't had been too late already haha. This should be a hoot! Can't wait for the Vegas oddmakers to lay the lines on these.. |
