Infinity Draft III

1) Once an artist or member of an act is drafted they are unavailable to anyone else however side-projects and solo artist from that act would still be eligible until separately drafted as long as their typical set contains no more than six songs by a previously drafted performer.

2) A maximum of two superjams are allowed (but not required) without taking up a draft/free agent slot. Any additional superjams will require the use of a slot.

3) Disputes handled via poll. Upon confirming receipt of dispute request, a poll will be put up and run for twelve hours. Polls can run seven days a week but no poll will start before 9AM or after 9PM Eastern. Drafting will continue while the poll is running. If a poll is a tie, the thing being disputed stands.

4) Once we have twenty-five participants, draft order will be randomly generated for the first round and will continue as a snake draft. (I.e., the person with the last pick in the first round would have the first pick in the second round.)

5) Each participant will have a maximum of twelve hours for their pick in the first ten rounds. That decreases to eight hours beginning in round eleven and six hours beginning in round twenty-five. If a participant misses their pick, the draft will continue as if a pick was made and the participant can then select from any remaining acts at the time that they register their pick. If a player is still on the clock from a previous turn because their time expired without making a selection, then when their next turn comes around the twelve (or eight or six) hour wait for their turn is waived. A participant can make up a maximum of two picks - if they fall behind by more than two picks the additional picks are forfeit.

6) When you post your selection, identify who the pick is. (Do not assume that everybody else can recognize your pick from pic or gif - formatting issues sometimes make them unreadable.) In addition, tag the next person after you and the person going after them to keep things moving.

7) Trades are allowed. All participants must verify the terms of the trade. (Note: Trades are subject to dispute. In the event that a trade is believed to be unrealistically lopsided, a participant can call for a poll on the validity of said trade.)

8) Fifty rounds of drafting.

9) Up to seventy-five undrafted free agents can be selected in the ninety-six hours after the last draft selection. Following that, participants will then have their UDFA presented individually, allowing time to highlight acts and for other participants to verify that no previously drafted acts were included as another's UDFA.

10) Any rule changes prior to the start of the draft will be decided by me and updated in the OP.

11) Any rule changes after the start of the draft will require fifteen participant votes in favor prior to adoption.

12) A rule change cannot be instituted to change the process of changing rules or disputes. (E.g., no vote to assign a "ref.")

13) If an artist performs both solo and with a set band, then when one is drafted all iterations are off the table. For example, if Prince is drafted then Prince and the Revolution is off the table. However if Neil Young is drafted then Neil Young & Crazy Horse is off the table but not Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

14) If an act has multiple lineup configurations, the one drafted should be identified when drafted. Other configurations would then be off the table. For example, if you were selecting Van Halen then you verified that you were choosing the iteration with Gary Cherone, the David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar VH's would be off the table.

15) In the event that a participant is unable or unwilling to complete the draft, a Supplemental Round will be established. All of that participant's selected artists would be available for selection in this round. The order would be random and would be established after completion of round 45 or whichever round follows the departure of the drafter, whichever is later. Only one supplemental round will occur regardless of the number of acts available. If fewer than twenty-five supplemental acts become available or if a drafter does not want to select a supplemental act then they may select any other available act.

16) If a drafter appears to be acting to the detriment of the draft, participants are able to request that drafter's removal. Removal will require twenty votes in favor. Only participants may vote and the votes are public. That participant's drafted artists would be moved to a supplemental round

17) If a drafter may not be able to make their pick, they may select a proxy or proxies to select on their behalf. Proxies must be stated in thread.

Are Angelo Badalamenti & David Lynch an eligible act?
They are not.
Is AEAEA an eligible act?
It is not.

Prop 1: Coachella Draft Voting Process to be implemented into Infinity Draft
- One prelimerary round of voting by poll
- top 16 advanced and gets put into brackets by the result of the poll (seeding)
- voting is public except for the first and last round
- in case of a tie, a poll gets posted for 24h (?) to decide who should move on

-> different here is the change in case of a tie and no people get picked up to get to 16 people (in Coachella, 12 people moved on and 4 people got picked up)
