Okay, at the risk of sounding bossy, here is my suggestion for the Battle of the Beats:
1. We'll set up a thread where everyone who wants to compete can show their interest.
2. Next, someone will have to volunteer to run this thing. I will do it if no-one else has time. I don't think it will take that much effort.
3. Everyone who wants to compete will email the organizer a link to their beat along with a description of the track and the equipment/samples used.
4. The organizer will layout a single elimination style tournament in the form of a word document or something, and post it. He will do his best to match up comparable beats (samples, equipment, etc.), but hopefully no one will bitch too bad about it since he will be doing it for FREE.
5. For every "match," a separate thread will be started consisting of two descriptions, two links, and a poll.
6. Anyone can access the thread, listen to the tracks, and vote. Hopefully no one will cheat.
7. After the first round is finished, the organizer will set up the second round, third round, semi-finals, finals, etc.
8. May the best man win!
Any suggestions or changes? Any volunteers to help run this competition?
Peace
