The order of the contest will be what I’ve posted - Disco first and so in.
In regards to first choices, I have deliberately not tried to open PMs sent already as I haven’t actually asked for them yet, but first submit doesn’t mean first choice, and will follow the Time Machine grid method and will PM a non participating adjudicating poster to pick positions to avoid the doubt of partiality, rather than choosing randomly myself.
In regards to round one - I haven’t got that far. I will be closing the contest for participants Saturday morning and then open for locked submission. No changes after then unless there are duplications that the grid rule cannot avoid. Still half a mind whether I should only host and not submit - that’s a TBA for me.

Now up to 11, which is great, as the quicker the submission the quicker I can sort out if you got your first choices.
From what I can see, there is only one duplicated first choice so far.

Please tag me or message me if necessary when the rounds appear or I may miss them. If you like I could also run some kind of predicta for this.

I am more than happy for anyone to throw their hat in the ring for a Predicta, as I won’t be running one personally this round. More than likely I will run Monday to Monday, as weekends are a bit unpredictable whilst I am doing house renovation type things on a Sunday, so Monday evening results show is a good free time for me as I can prep during the day in advance. |

Ok I will run a predicta, so I definitely need to be aware when all the rounds start.

Thank you all for your submissions so far - still got this week to send me your entrants.
What would be really helpful for me for those who haven’t yet PM’ed me your lists - if you could send me your Disco round choices early, I can get the first round prepped and ready in advance please.
Many thanks
Smurf

Two days to go and will be closing for submissions this Saturday at 12 pm. Just missing greendemon krescendo, and all other round songs apart from round 1 from ManicKangaroo . greendemon krescendo - if you have your round 1 ready and can send me between now and tomorrow - that would be great, the quicker I can prep for the first round on Monday the better.  Many thanks Stuart |

We had 17 contestants in 90s time machine and also in 00s time machine and now in this, but not exactly the same ones each time.
And like those competitions this has 10 rounds.
I am considering running predicta like this:
- Guess what will win, and 3 guesses but in priority order, 3-2-1
- Guess what will lose, 3 guesses priority order
- Guess what will come exactly 9th. Only one guess but if your guess comes 8th or 10th you'll get 1 point, 3 if you are spot on. 2 points if it's tied on points with the song that is officially 9th
- I'll pick a random song and you'll have to guess who entered it.
- I'll pick a random contestant and you have to guess what their song is. It will be one who has never been picked before or had their song picked above in a previous round, until such a time they are all used up.
- Any other random question I may come up with at the time, and might not be every round.

As I have forgotten to bring my laptop with me this weekend - am happy to keep this open until Monday morning for the late entrants and any last minute changes - as I’m not starting round 1 until then anyway!

As part of predicta I'm asking everyone to guess one song that will appear in each round (that isn't their own) so once they have all got all their songs confirmed it will be possible.
In the meantime, if they all get their first round songs confirmed they can get started on doing this for the first round.
I was partly wondering why nobody had PMed these predictions to me until @lastridgeracer mentioned he didn't yet know what his own songs were.

I can’t let people know what songs they got until I have all the entrants in.

When do you plan to put the first round up?
If users can enter the first round of predicta (guess what other songs will show up) and nobody knows if they're getting their first choice it's equal for everyone. Of course once the round is up nobody can enter that part, and will score nothing.

Today. I just need to PM those who did not get their first choice. Then after that I will work through the other rounds.
Unfortunately, Kres has dropped out of competing, but will continue to participate by voting.
