Am I the only degenerate who feels like we should have some sort of non-monetary, just for fun (or with money, for those with gambling addictions like me) NCAA-style pool going for this once the Field of 256 is set and we have actual seeds?
I know, we can actually influence the results, but I’m trusting enough to believe people won’t try to cook the books to fit their picks…
anyone with me?
Adrock, that sounds pretty fun actually. I kinda wish we could do a virtual draft of songs or something.
You mean Fantasy Music Tournament. That’s pretty meta. Everyone gets 10 songs via a snake draft, and gets awarded points based on how far each song gets.
