Anyone Want to do "Fantasy League" For the Tour?

I'd be willing to offer up a second boot to go on the reserve list for the 5th conference. That is unless anyone objects to participating in more than one conference. I'm just digging the draft and want more.

We'll see what happens. I would really like for the folks in the "reserves" at this time to get to play. If it means a few people double-up, I think it is fine.


Any "Championship" IMO would be cool, but maybe just a matter of pride. That would only come to play if there is a Seattle II and we choose not to count that show in the scoring... or maybe we can figure out some sort of playoff w/the Aussie Big Day Out tour.

here is the first 3 rounds in the books for the McCready Conference

Round 1 Round 2 Round 3
Bob Mayo on the Keyboards Bob Mayo Of The Girl Sometimes Interstellar Overdrive
JB23237 Immortality Footsteps In Hiding
JLWhite1076 God's Dice Who You Are Johnny Guitar
Jeff2040 I Got ID Long Road Save You
Mayday10 Sleight of Hand Army Reserve Wash
SissonP33 Present Tense In My Tree Inside Job
FrankieG Oceans Breath Smile
EdVed007 I Am Mine Leash Breakerfall
On2Legs Fuckin' Up Release Nothing As It Seems
Skipwilsonjack Mankind Tremor Christ Last Exit
Sparky_Fry Grievance Dissident Crown of thorns

Really interesting to see the differences in conferences. Songs in the first round of the Mcready are going in the 4th in Gossard and vice verse...

This..

eddies in my tree

this is the funniest thing I've done on these boards other than the set lists threads. can't wait to start watching and scoring points.
thanks ryan. this is such a great idea. thinking its going to be a game played on every tour here on out.

No problem. I just kind of got the idea one day while doing dishes. Whether or not the format lends to competitive, exciting twists and turns remains to be seen.


Wouldnt be possible to get nearly this far without the inheritant nerdiness of all involved. It is pretty much on autopilot now. Everyone has been super responsive and cool, and this wouldnt have gotten to this point without certain "technological advances" by people such as taking drafting to email and using Google docs.


We can always tweak and improve for "next time".

I asked my own conference this, but maybe others can help re Google docs:

BJ did grant me access to the google doc, but I've been having some trouble with access anyway. I can access it on my phone no prob (so far), but access on my PC is spotty at best. Way more often than not it tells me that I have to request access again, while at the same time with the same account I can see it on my phone. So wtf?? I have tried closing it on my phone in case having it open in two places had an impact, but it didn't help. I checked my account on the google drive website to see a list of docs that have been shared with me, and this doc is not listed there, but it has been shared and I've viewed it. Anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening? I have ruled out the ideas that google drive offers as reasons why I don't have access (which were basic, i.e. make sure you're using the right account and that you have actually been granted access). Anyway, not the end of the world - at least I can still do it on my phone.... But I'd rather do it on a PC. Thanks!

This sounds cool. Please put me down as a reserve/or for the next conference.

Thanks!

Save Who

Now i guess i have to start a "please play fatal" thread

I think there's a chance they play it. they played it once in '10 :?

ok maybe Fatal wasn't a great first pick (hopefully they play it though). I think i know what i'll choose with my next pick.

11th pick isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.. Got mankind and cropduster first 2 rounds.. Pretty happy so far

jened10

Question on the last pic in Cameron second round.. They picked Chloe dancer.. On the album it listed as Chloe dancer/crown of thorns! Dies that mean he gets Chloe dancer/crown of thorns or just the piano part "Chloe dancer" that leads into crown of thorns?

rr165892

I think Chloe Dancer is its own song,"Chloe's just like me, only beautiful ".......then Crown of Thorns comes in with piàno into.Clearly 2songs.Sometimes played together other times just crown of thorns. listed separate on stat tracker.

This is correct . Separate song.

Cameron Conference is moving along pretty well. already into the 3rd round. I'm pretty satisfied with my choices so far. Well maybe should have gone a different route with my first pick but oh well.

Feeling good so far too - it's going to get harder for me pretty quick I think! ... Dave, I am actually rooting for your first pick!
