hey guys, so i know there are a lot of tournaments going on right now, and i wouldnt want to start this yet, but i was thinking that having a "best summer song/best song for summer" tournament would be really fun! obvs i'd wait until summertime to run it, but i was thinking of just doing a single elimination bracket with 64, 96, or 128 nominations depending on interest, with each round lasting half a week or a whole week (again, depending on number of nominations) so that it wouldn't go for too long. i think it'd be cool to have a seasonally relevant tourney going on, plus it'd be cool because it's not as straightforward as "which is better" (although that would still be relevant, probably), but "which is more summer".

what does everyone think? \:D/

I'd be totally down for that

Love this idea. I think it would be a great thing to do in June when the BEUT is finished.

Yeah, I did the best album art tournaments around 3 years ago. Can't believe it was that long ago 😕

I'd be all up for making a V2 though.

quick interjection apropos of nothing but think we could run a best ever album art tourney parallel to one of the upcoming ones? No listening would be involved so theoretically it could be over really fast with minimal forum clutter

It seems we've done that one though it was a long time ago, so it'd probably be fine to do it again. Looks like the soundtrack tourney was done in the past too.

The listening load is pretty heavy for the BYT, so I can completely understand the concerns. We seem to be getting to a situation where there are a lot more tournament suggestions than there is space in the schedule to run them, so perhaps we should move from a queue system to a vote system. In other words, maybe users should vote on which of the suggested tournaments they want to see next (including soundtracks if someone wants to take over for Cuba).

I like the idea of the voting system, but also I think the biggest problem with all of the suggested tourneys is they require a great deal of listening to albums and such. I know this is just throwing more stuff into the chaotic upcoming tourneys pool, but I remember rocky mentioned after the best ever guitar player tourney the possibility of a similar tourney (bassist, drummer, singer, etc.), something like this might be best right now because a ridiculous amount of listening isn't required for something like that...

Unfortunately, I suggested the same thing, but some folks were unhappy about the idea:

Also once BEAMAs and Best Ever Movies Redux are done I was still hoping to do the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame vote ...

I talked to Cuba about that the other day and he says that he doesn't really have the time (or interest) in running it anymore. I know I certainly won't be listening a bunch of soundtracks, but if there is still a solid amount of interest in it then I believe someone else would need to run it... Otherwise we could just skip ahead to the 96 tourney...

Everybody who wants to see the Best Year Tournament bumped to the front of the queue, raise your hand.

I'm fine with it and it seems like Cuba is too, so I'd say whenever Defago is ready...
