The Walrus - master thread

Nice! My only comment would be that 8x12 is a lot of songs to listen to and comment on. 5x10 is standard, but of course it’s up to you.

Dude 8x12 will drive you insane. Don’t take it as a challenge, i think you’ll enjoy it much more if you cut it to 5 categories

I’ll take your advice slightly and cut two categories

There have been 14? or so Walruses. So that’s about 42 songs that have podiumed. How about a bracket tournament to find the best all-time Walrus track? Or go the other way and have a best of the nodium tourney.

In for tournament, but that number is way higher.

Each walrus has more than one song.

Oh yeah lol.

Maybe just gold medals/last place.

Could have committees make a 64 song bracket for each and then have a vote? I haven’t read any of the other music tournament threads so I don’t know how they’ve been handled. Sounds fun and I might be willing to help depending on my schedule.

What do you have in mind here? Gather all the podium/nodium tracks and then have some people cull it down to 64?

14 x3 podiums x6 categories on average? = ~252 songs. That’s a lot.

No just first and last places, like you said

Idea:

16 people submit two songs each that (in their opinion) were unfairly nodiumed and deserve a second look from the masses.

32 songs, bracket style.

So, I wasted my life and now have a spreadsheet containing all the winners and losers from the Walruseses so far.

There have been 97 judged rounds, so that’s a lot. Not sure it helps with any proposed contest, but it wasn’t wasted. For example, one stat I can now discover is who has come last the most times?

I’ll just tot it up … and the pathetic loser with no fewer than 9 last place finishes is:

Yes, I have the submitter, judge, title, artist and link.

Thinking about structure…

15 groups of 6, with 1 group of 7 - top two through, then gives a 32 song knock out.
