I'd be happy to have you if you want to play! Wolfking explained the essence of it. The main goal is to win by impressing the host more than others do.
Yeah, so I guess I'm in, and I just sent my submission for round 1.
Excellent. Happy to have you!
Alright, since it looks like we have a round 18 including Litho and Rom, I'm going to close off sign-ups here.
Here is the format I have for 18 participants: For the first three rounds, we will have six pools with three people in each. Each round, my favorite submission in a particular pool will get 3 points, my second favorite will get 2, and my least favorite 1. The lowest total score in each pool after three rounds will be eliminated. That will leave 12 participants, who will be re-organized into three pools with four people in each. After round 6, the bottom two in each of those pools will be eliminated. That will leave a final six who compete in the two EP rounds.
So the progression goes: 18 participants in groups of 3 -> bottom 1 in each group eliminated -> 12 participants in groups of 4 -> bottom 2 in each group eliminated -> 6 participants in two EP rounds. I think this sets a nice pattern of increasing stakes.
Here are the six groups who will compete against one another in the first round. This will also be added to the second post. The groups here are generated using a random number generator:
Pool A:Lethean
Sacul

Pool B:ReaperKK

Pool C:Elite
Buddyhunter1
HOF
Pool D:kingshmegland

Pool E:LithoJazzSphere

Pool F:Cyril

Get to know each other, folks... you're going to be sharing the ring for three rounds.
Submissions open for round 1. Some of you have already sent, for the rest of you, let's try to get them in by Friday. I'm going to listen to each pool together, so the first pool to have everyone in might be the first to get results...
(sorry, Pools A and C)
