I thought I'd seen Earl P mention in one of the 50s threads, that he was running Haven Factor in January?
Found it from December 11th I think?
"Some time in the new year I will be opening Haven Factor 12. And I definitely will not be competing myself in that."

My 2024 replacement for the Haven Decades Song KO Contest is Haven's Pick Of The Pops:You select a UK singles chart from history; and from that chart play (for 12 tracks = with a max 2 from #40-21, a minimum 10 from #20-1, a minimum 5 from #10-1, and you must finish with that week's #1, and play a minimum 2 others of #5-2). Like any chart countdown your first selection would be your lowest charting track; and your final track is that week's chart topper.
I plan to reveal further details on Monday 1st January 2024 in a new thread.

I was planning to start Haven Factor at the start of the year. Last year round 1 was 12 January and the final 30 March. Now I guess I need to wait until the end of "Pick Of The Pops"

Potp sounds cool but I'm still a bit burnt out from the big multi round competitions so I think I'll give it a miss as well as HF12.
Will probably vote in HF though.

I'm a bit burnt out from rating, my plan during Haven Factor is just to sit back and relax as I don't participate in that not even as a voter, so I'd just be counting the votes. It's also why my 1983 retro chart was put on hold, although I have been listening to 1992 as a retro year. I do hope greendemon takes part in it though.

Can’t force you to participate if you’re burnt out. I put in Time Machine for October. Give me a shout otherwise.

Earl Purple as per the other thread, do you want me to schedule in HF12 for April?

Then perhaps Haven Express August/September Shireblogger - your guys call if this works please? Works for me at the moment. I'm flexible, so no problem moving it around other activities.

Once I've confirmed the schedule of when POTP is going to finish. raliverpool suggested after maybe 2 weeks of doing it normally he'll double them up to speed things up. I'll already be accepting the entries but would expect the songs and voting for HF12 to start at the beginning of April, and the contest usually lasts 3 months. It's possible to have one-off rates like Lingovision or another Havenvision during this time, but not another long-running contest

In one week I will open up the topic for Haven Factor 12.
We have now had 6 rounds posted of Pick Of The Pops doing 2 rounds a week, so next week we'll be seeing Rounds 7 and 8 posted up and will be just 3 weeks away from the completion.
That will be enough time for those interested to sign up, pick their acts and choose their first song.
The round format will depend how many entrants we get, but the plan is for the usual: a few double elimination rounds and one non-single round. In spite of my thoughts of introducing variations to the scoring table, it will be pretty much flat throughout, with the exact scoring varying on the number of songs in each round, and the plan is that in double elimination rounds, the bottom 4 will go into it with 2 surviving.

Thinking of kicking off Lingovision over the first May bank holiday weekend if that works for the schedule Smurfie and with any Havenvision plans Panda? It would probably be 2 weeks for entries, then 2-3 weeks for voting, so would finish early June.
