Battle of the bands
OpenJamie:
Hey guys, I saw this on another forum and it seemed to work well.
Basically 64 bands knockout tournament. In each match the band with the most votes progresses. There is a set time period for voting which changes for each round. Maybe seedings if I can trust myself to do it right.
If there is any interest then I will run it but if you think it will just be annoying then say so and I wont bother.
onewheelwizzard:
I think this is a cool idea but it should definitely be arranged like the Forced Listening Thread, meaning you submit votes as reviews. That way a band doesn't win just because nobody knew anything about its opponents.
Scandanavian War Machine:
Arch Enemy just won. congratulations to those who voted

I suggest we try running this in the following manner:
Create a wiki page called "Battle of the Bands." By [x] date, the 64 bands with the most votes proceed. Votes are cast by QC forum members who edit the page to indicate that they voted. On the initial round, each forum member may vote for any number of bands once each. In each additional round each forum member may vote for one band once. By [x] date, the 32 bands with the fewest votes are discarded. A new round of voting begins. Rinse and repeate with further voting periods until 1 band remains.
The advantages of this approach: it will require minimal administration on your part, it will allow forum members to follow the results in real time, and since voting requires a modicum of effort, the results are more likely to reflect the tastes of the core forum members.
The disadvantage of this approach: certain members may not be sure how to edit a wiki page. I'm not really convinced that this will be a problem.
Vis-a-vis structuring the page: KISS (keep it simple stupid). So just ROUND 1 followed by a new band name on each row with a colon. To vote, log in to forum wikipedia and put your name next to the band name.
I've mocked up what the page would look like if people like this idea, and it can be found, here. If like this idea, then hop on, start editing and LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

I'm pretty sure the kids who like mopey shuffling indie way outnumber those of us who like scary metal.
Like, by a lot.
