BEA 2020 Championship Tournament

It's tournament time again! The rules are mostly the same as last year, with a tweak to keep the listening manageable and prevent me from nominating my 3+ hour AOTY. 1. A nomination can be any 2020 BEA-qualifying release that consists mostly of music released for the first time in 2020, is widely legally available for free online, and is no longer than the maximum length of a single-disc album (80 minutes or less). I strongly encourage you to nominate your favorite release that meets these criteria. 2. Seeding is by BEA rank. The bracket is randomized, except for play-ins, which narrow the tournament to 32 albums if necessary by matching the lowest seeds. 3. Closing times for each round are announced in advance. In the event of ties, the tiebreaker is rating, then trimmed mean, then mean. The final round and third place match use 24-hour extensions instead of a tiebreaker. 4. Medals are awarded to the top three finishers, but also to the biggest rank gainers, so add discoveries you like to your charts before the tournament is over. Here is the tournament spreadsheet. I will start my recruitment efforts on June 1, but you can start nominating your choices now.

Doesn't make any sense to do a 2017-2020 tourney but it sounds like a lot of fun, I'm absolutely in. Don't think I've participated in the 2017 one at all... *checks* Open Mike Eagle won, very glad to see that. I'm personally more for 8 entries, the finalists from each year. It's quicker and more concise imo.

Yeah, I’d prefer 8 or even 4 entries to keep it snappy. I see it as a bit like when the Champions League winner plays the winner of the Copa de America. I agree, Its not really logical but would be fun anyway.
