    i will also buy the winner a bootleg of their choice from goods. also agree that the draft should be it's own ongoing thread for each division. would be tough to set up a chat at a time when everyone has a free hour or 2.

    Ill do a bootleg or maybe some stickers from this upcoming tour. Going to a bunch of shows ill probably pick up something "small" like a bootleg for my donation to the winner.

    I still like the live draft idea cause it will go so much faster in like an hour rather than the span of weeks checking emails and whatnot. After the draft maybe we could,start our own conference threads with everyone's teams?

    Love this whole idea again it's gonna be more fun than my fantasy football league

    Will bonus points be awarded for non-typical performances??

    suppose they do slow lukin?

    what if the 1st encore of a show is sit down acoustic and they do a sweet, stripped down version of a song?

    Maybe they crazy and play the 45 second punk version of just breathe that I just dreamed up?

    a bonus 5 points?

    OK. I will start to PM people for email addresses. I will start 3 email "threads" where we can organize, get prizes together, etc. We can still use this thread for chatter and I will keep updated information on the OP. If you see this, PM me your email address to save me time.
    Itll take me a few days.


    It seems like we are split on the draft method. I personally think the draft over time would be better. First step though is to square the prizes and the email threads.


    As far as altered versions, I was thinking that a song is a song. If you choose Lukin.... Slow or fast its all worth the same.
    I would also say that they need to play at least 50% of the song for it to count (so if they start something, fuck it up (or just tease with a few notes) and move on, it doesnt count).

    As far as tie breakers at the end. I am leaning toward the roster with the most Pearl Jam albums represented wins as the first tie breaker. 2nd tie breaker is the least number of cover songs.

    We have half the McCready Conference accounted for in less than a couple hours. That is encouraging.

    Once I get that Conference completed, I will send out PMs to the Gossard Conference.

    If you are in the Gossard or Ament, feel free to PM me with your email and prize "pledge".


    We will vote on how to draft in each Conference Email thread.

    Got 9/12 from the McCready Conference already.

    2/12 from the others without attempting the PM blast yet.

    Update:
    Went off the grid a bit over the weekend as my brain shorted out after the public onsales.

    I updated the OP.
    Still waiting on 2 from the McCready Conference. I may send out the PM call to the Gossard Conference today for email addies. The Ament Conference is rolling in without prompting.

    Once I get a full Conference, the email thread will start and we will discuss how everyone prefers to draft. Each Conference can potentially opt for a different method.

    This week I will also knock out some of the clutter from the OP and lay out the rules (which are open for discussion). Gotta close any loopholes.

    MayDay what all shows did you get tickets for?

    I got:
    Buffalo for 6 friends (already had 10C Reserved)
    Pittsburgh (2)
    Philly I (single)
    Philly II (single)
    Baltimore (single)
    Seattle (single)

    at this point, I am not 100% sure I can make the Phillys and Seattle. If there is a Seattle II and I win GA, I would likely go.

    Alright.
    I just tried to clean up the last 2 of the McCready Conference (one of the 2 I failed to PM on the first round).

    Also sent PMs to those in the Gossard Conference for emails/prizes.

    Once the Gossard Conference is nearly set, I will clean up the Ament Conference.


    Once we have responses from all 12 participants, for whichever Conference, the email chain will begin.

    12 Teams

    Roster of 8-10 Songs.

    A song starts out with 0 Points. If it gets played, the song earns 24 points. Each time the song is played, it loses a point. So if you have "Brain of J", and it gets played in Pittsburgh, then Buffalo, then not for the rest of the tour, it will be worth 23 points.
    If you pick "Fatal" and it doesnt get played, it earns 0.
    If you have "Do The Evolution" and it gets played at each stop, it would end up with 1 point.

    So are we still on for these rules? I personally think this is a better draft goal than to just pick which songs will be played the most.

    How long are we going to have to determine our 'draft order' before the actual draft?

    I agree. I wasn't sure about this at first, but the more I think about it this is a better way to do it. I also like the 8-10 songs. Somewhere in there is a good number. Anymore I think would be too many.

    Dumb question, but we won't have to do anything once we have our songs, right? I only ask because I'm going to the Oakland show and was going to try to stay away from setlists until the show. Of course, I've tried this before and failed. :D

    No. Once drafted, just sit back and watch the updates/Follow your "team".

    We will have to recalibrate it slightly on the account of the extra shows. So 1st play would be worth 25 now and decrease so on (until we learn of the Seattle/possible Albany show(s)).

    8-10 songs/team is probably good, we still have time to decide exactly how many. 10 songs would make it 120 total for each conference.

    I got a number of PMs last night and I will update the OP after lunch. I think we may have completed the McCready Conference so we can get rolling on that. Once the Gossard Conference is almost complete, I will PM blast who I havent heard from the Ament Conference.

    Later this week/this weekend I will try to come up with the list of available songs

    I have an excel workbook with all this, and that is where all the rules for each Conference, etc will be memorialized. Everyone will be provided this via email to avoid any misunderstanding as things 'develop' over the course of a thread. he list will be on a worksheet too so everyone has the same thing to work from.
