No--Green Habit never got on it and I don't have time to run it in march. But when I get back from my honeymoon at the end of april we'll either run March Madness or another survivor style tournament.
Do people have preferences?

basically a massive tournament where we vote for our favorite pearl jam songs--it is like the march madness basketball tournament but songs instead of teams.
Survivor is an elimination tournament for each album and then the top two selections from each album go up against each other to see what people's favorite song is

I intended for it to be helpful. It's easy to follow once it starts. The question is would you rather see all the songs going up against each other randomly, or have people decide album by album which are the favorites and then have the winners compete against each other

march madness is my first choice too but it's tricky cuz there are way more than 132 songs to pick now. I wonder if we can give out byes to past winners or something to make room.
I'd also like to include into the wild if we can fit it in just to mix things up a bit

I know you were but if I had ever heard of March Madness in basketball, I presume I would have guessed what it meant in this context :p
yeah, I prefer March Madness..there's been a Survivor on the Pit at the end of last year, and it's really annoying 'cos much better songs end up eliminated because they're in an album of really good ones (Vs )

Automatic Bids = Past Winners, if we have those statistics some where. Conference Tourney Winners = (aka Album by Album Tourneys) Selection Committee Invites = People pick what songs they want in the tourney.

It's not a bad idea.
Probably a good place to start is just getting a list of everything that COULD be included.
Any volunteers....?
