Title: The 2005 Tournament Of Tunes!
Post by: Wolfman on June 16, 2005, 08:44:40 am

There\'s only a couple of close battles right now (notably Garcian vs. Question Mark), but as the rounds progress the matchups will get tighter and tighter.  We need a tiebreaking procedure in place before a tie happens!

Tiebreaking procedure suggestions:

1. Have Tim play each tune at his first solo show after the tie occurs, and have the people there vote on which song sounds better solo acoustic.  
1a. If the crowd at the show is still tied, one person from each side will compete in a Guinness half-yard chugging contest.

2.  Four people voting from each song play in a poker game at pokerstars.com  Winning player sees his/her song advance.

3. Have everyone involved meet up for a game of bombardment, one song\'s team vs. another.

4. The winning song is the one with more combined posts among its voters.

5. Somebody dig up Teddy Torres and have him decide.

6. Each side must solicit funds from the voters.  The side that collects more money wins.  All proceeds go to the Save-The-Breakfast fund, less 20% that goes to support .info

A couple deep breathes and a few votes over the week and you should be able to get through it. Good Luck.

Paul at PT did this and it is fun as hell every year, I am in.

I wish people could be counted on to vote strictly on a songs performances this year, that would be a cooler outcome.  Watch out for GBFBITS!!!

is it just going to be our opinion on songs performed at their best, or are we going to be voting based on specific performances on a given night?

The language will be: "Choose the song that you like better."  It\'s that simple.  We discussed other ways to word it but figured that everyone would probably end up voting for the song that they like better anyways.

Quote from: FrankZappa

are we betting on this, or is it just for fun?

It\'s for fun.  Although I may put out some lines for fun, I will not be taking action because people with monetary interests may try to influence votes.  This is not in the spirit of the tourney.  We are trying to determine what the favorite songs are.

Quote from: FrankZappa

Can I just fill out a sheet at the begining, and not vote if I\'m not around?

No, because each round you will pick between the matched up winners of the previous round.  If you did the whole sheet in advance, you would not have the right matchups.  Each round will last one week.

ive been waiting for something like this.  some sublime fansite did this same thing with sublime songs a while ago (STP was the winner).  is it just going to be our opinion on songs performed at their best, or are we going to be voting based on specific performances on a given night?

Anybody remember when Jambands.com did this with jambands a couple years ago?  Psychedelic Breakfast was a 15 seed and suffered a tough first round defeat to 2 seed MMW.  If only we had used our incredible internet ballot-stuffing team :lol:  

Can\'t predict final four and stuff yet before the brackets are out, but I\'ll throw a couple predictions out there.  (Note these are predictions, not necessarily what I want to see, just what I think we will see.)

Sleepers: Mayfly Disarray, Phaddy Boom Baddy
Dark Horse: Kote
Upset special: Spunk
Diaper Dandy: Gravity

Unlike the Superhaven Apizza Tournament, this tourney is anything but a foregone conclusion.  The people will have their say!

The crossbreeding of Music and Sports. Excellent idea, glad you are always thinking. Lions Den really made me think, but it was life changing.

this idea came to me at the lion\'s den the other night.. i was thinking about the buquebus/rufus thing, and thought this would be a great idea.. hope it works out!

I like this idea. Can\'t wait to see this in effect. Good thinking Dave.

Announcing Summer Madness:
The first ever .info Tournament Of Tunes!

UPDATE: The first-round voting has begun! Cast your votes now!!

thebreakfast.info is proud to announce the first ever Tournament Of Tunes! Set up like the NCAA Basketball tournaments, the TOT will take every Breakfast song, and put them head to head for YOU to vote on! Each song will be given a seed and a region, and first round match-ups will begin on Sunday, June 12th. Each round of voting will last one week, and the winner will move onto the next round. In the end, we\'ll see what the fan-favorite Breakfast song is!

Your input is needed!

Once the tournament begins, PLEASE take the time to vote on each and every song vs. song battle! The more total votes we have, the more meaningful this will be! At some point this week, a new forum will open up for the tournament, and the brackets will be released. At this time, you\'ll also be able to make and discuss your \'picks\' for the outcome of the tournament. The polls will open on Sunday, June 12th!

Discuss!
