Also up for something different! The internet is FULL of the weird and wonderful and sounds like almost anything could fit the mould.

I still think some kind of multi-round contest based on one-hit wonders will be a great idea. Of course people can enter one-hit wonders into some of the contests now that allow hits, but this would give them more of a chance to shine with no competition from the likes of New Order and the usual. (As "Atmosphere" eventually reached #34, according to my specification Joy Division are not one-hit wonders).
I think some got scared off by the idea of having to find one in the 50s or 60s or that there were too many rounds.
I like the idea of having at least one round where the act had one hit but you have to play a different song of theirs. (I can think of a few "obvious" examples that might get picked).
Perhaps I should make it just 3 or 4 rounds, 2 where you pick the hit, 2 (or 1) where you pick the alternative. One round anything 1985 or earlier, one round 1985 or later, 1985 being a good cut-off between older and newer music. 1985 is a 'cut-off' between old and new music (an example, but it's not a bad choice).
Use it as a chance to get to hear some music you haven't heard a lot in other contests. Could have a short 'ban' list if there are some songs that have been used a few times (e.g. Clout)

^ I could be up for that, something different! Roo. - as far as I'm concerned I don't mind, I was planning on starting Time Machine in October as I won't have time before then, but I could push it to later if you/people in general are up for another HF? I feel like there might be another contest planned between now and then though ( Razzle Dazzle - rock idol?) so it won't be until after that either way... The next Idol contest is pencilled in for July/August but its not set in stone really I like the sound of a talent show contest

I'm more than happy to delay TM60s if people would rather have room for Rock Idol/Thorney's talent show idea and then HF - as I say, I'll be busy until October anyway so I can always push it to November...

With World Cup spanning all of July you can move Rock Idol 2 to August as it seems quite empty and the Summer Anthems can be slipped in, a rough timeline is as follows
July 16th: Me and Hupin are having a zoom meeting and a few beers to decide on the all important categories, along with a few of the other finer details
July 23rd: Pre registration, we will put up the rules in a register your interest post, we will tag the regulars, and give people a week to sign up
July 30th: We will then post up the round categories so everyone can start finding their songs ready to send
August 6th: Deadline to send the songs, we will allow a week to select songs
August 7th: Rock Idol 2 starts
Most likely 5 days to vote, 12 rounds, details to be confirmed but based on that we are looking at something like
ROUND 1: August 7th-11th ROUND 2: August 12th-16th ROUND 3: August 17th-21st ROUND 4: August 22nd-26th ROUND 5: August 27th-1st September ROUND 6: September 1st-6th ROUND 7: September 7th-12th ROUND 8: September 13th-18th ROUND 9 September 19th-24th ROUND 10 September 25th-29th ROUND 11 September 30th-5th October ROUND 12 October 6th-10th
Next contest after this is pencilled in for October so i want to be finished by the middle of October, right now these are just guestimates, will confirm everything in the upcoming rules thread, I know I'm at a stag do and a wedding during this period so some weeks will be extended by the odd day here and there

Looks good to me - Time Machine can get going in late October or even early Nov if needed.

So it's Rock Idol and Time Machine instead Haven Factor.

It's been much longer since the last Rock Idol than the last HF so I think it's only fair it has a turn As I keep saying I don't mind delaying Time Machine to make way for HF, but it also depends on when Roo. wants to run it.

I'm happy to run it whenever, which doesn't help... Maybe we should do a poll and let the people decide.

That's what the schedule says and has done all year, we have one Idol contest a year and haven't had one yet so its not instead of Haven Factor which we have already had

I've voted in the poll above.
{Spoiler} I think it is much better to knock off the final decades contest first. Plus as we've now had 10 Haven Factors it is nice to give it a bit of a breather until the next one, as you can end up having too much of a good thing resulting in overkill.

And if some are using this democratic opportunity to vote for the option which gives them more time to decide on an act for HF11, well more power to them!
