In honor of Pearl Jam's introduction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Red Mosquito is proud to present its most complicated March Madness ever* - a tournament so INSANEwe can't even link a bracket until we are 20 days in!
The qualifying rounds: March 6th to March 26th. 210 songs will compete for 24 spots to join our previous 8 winners in our 32 entry finals tournament. It's madness!
The songs from each of the 10 studio albums will face the other songs on their albums in a series of 10 micro-tournaments to determine which two songs from each album will enter the finals tournament. The 88 non-album tracks will fight for four spots in an 11th not so micro tournament
Most early rounds are DOUBLE ELIMINATION, but not always!
New matches EVERY DAY, except Saturdays and Sundays are one day, until we start going to two days per match
Rounds will generally close out/begin between 8-9 PM depending on when Stip's kids GO TO BED!

I'm saving my good materials / arguments for songs until later rounds. Also, there's an "it's" where there should be an "its" in the header post. But I just assume that's all part of the MADNESS.

Thanks for doing this! I've listened to the PJ catalog so much that I drift to it less as time goes on, but these tournaments always inspire me to check out stuff I haven't heard in awhile.
