Typing is becoming a massive inconvenience due to issues with my nerves, so for now I'd love for someone to update the hip-hop tourney. I'll PM whoever this person is whenever I am better.

This is getting dragged on too long and is holding up other tournaments from starting. Unless it gets updated soon, I think someone else should take over.

I could if nobody else wants to.

So if I'm the only one who feels this way don't worry about it, but is there any way we could extend the matches in round 2 to 3 days? I'm finally getting a chance to catch up now that I'm home for winter break and one extra day per set would be awesome. I know you probably don't want to keep extending it, but this would only add 4 total days to the tourney, so I don't think it would be too out of control. But again, if it's just me it's no big deal.

Thank you so much for the time extension 🙏 Was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to participate, and I really want to.

I'd maybe consider even going to four matches every five/six days if there isn't particularly active participation in the first few matchups. I was already familiar with the vast, vast majority of these albums prior to the tournament, and even if I wasn't I don't think I'd find listening to eight hip-hop albums in four days particularly taxing (in fact, I've probably been doing just that for about a decade), but I fear that others might. It isn't a genre that everybody wants to listen to particularly regularly, so if you're seeing low voter turnout - especially in matches where both records are relatively well-known - I'd definitely consider increasing the voting window, thus giving people a bit more time to spread out the albums as they listen to them. Also, hip-hop albums frequently hit 65 or 70 minutes in length (more so than in many other genres), and so realistically somebody might have to find eight or nine hours of time to put aside for listening to albums they normally wouldn't look twice at simply in order to vote.

Yeah, I can do six days. Looking for maximum participation, six days sounds great.

^ yes please, there's no genre I'm in the mood for for entire days. I'd love it if we just took our time, at least for the first round. If it's possible of course, I understand you've already lengthened the original duration and may not want to do it again.

Does 4 matches/4 days work?

Yeah. I think that sounds better. once we get to round 2, I'd speed it up since by then people should be familiar with the records.

Yeah, I second this. It's especially tough for me to find time for hip-hop listening because so little of it is... um... family friendly.
