Post subject: | March Madness 2016! Hail Hail wins! |
Every year we change up the rules to March Madness, and this year is no different. The seven most recent winners are removed from the start of the tournament: Black, Tremor Christ, Corduroy, Immortality, I Got Shit, Do the Evolution, Insignificance Of the 217 remaining possible songs (including known demos) the 25 least popular (give or take)have been removed.
Part I: 64 randomized three way match ups (with at least two official album/single releases per match). Part II The 64 winners are randomized and enter into a traditional bracketed tournament. The link will be posted at the end of round I. Part III The winner of the 64 match tournament joins the top 7 previous winners to determine the 2016 champion. Part II Bracket Final 8 Bracket can be found here
All matches open for 2 days. |

It's a better way to move through the opening rounds. Kudos to whoever suggested this |

I just don't like that 7 of the final 8 are already determined. |

We get a full tournament with a pseudo winner and then determine the 'real' winner. This will rotate songs out, too. as we get new winners. |

There's only so many really, really good Pearl Jam songs that we all more or less agree on (and I don't think the band are going to be making any more), I don't think it's surprising that the same songs end up rising to the top. It's not as though Sweet Lew is going to cause a surprise upset. |

Honestly, I have more fun thinking about and discussing the tough early-round matchups, so I really like this format. I will probably fade when we get to the final 16 and we're all making the same old arguments about the same top songs. But early on, this is lots of fun. |

So, who's the 2016 victor? The winner of the 2 64-match rounds or the winner of the Champions Round? |

Would've been cool to see Foldback, Harmony, and Thunderclap up against each other. Its too bad they'll each be eliminated in the first round. These were such cool gifts on that Touring Band 2000 dvd. 1. Thunderclap 2. Foldback 3. Harmony |
