Starting to feel like our lineup is going to be the most torn into, I wonder why.
It's because there's only been two lineups posted, and nobody is taking the other one seriously because MBV is billed 4th overall. I wouldn't sweat it.

Personally I like yours, fwiw.
I will note that I think the differing views on what "realism" means is going to play a big factor, and it's super subjective and a tough judgment call. Like I've said before, I'm looking at "realism" from a point of "how likely is it that Bonnaroo could book this act if they wanted to" as opposed to "would Bonnaroo book this act" (with few exceptions). I just feel like the whole point of "improve the kinds of acts this festival books" is nullified if you look at it like "well Bonnaroo clearly wouldn't book [artist]." Like yeah, the problem is that they won't book artists like this so that's why we're taking over booking. And to me, key factors in "could Bonnaroo book this act if they wanted to" include how often this act tours the USA, how open this act seems to be to playing fests, etc., and this is also complicated by stuff like "how new is this act", because younger acts who maybe have only played a few US shows and few or no festivals solely because they haven't gotten the chance to yet won't get dinged for that.
The idea of artist/genre diversity speaks more to quality than realism for me, though I'm not going to be super strict on the genres. Not deducting any points if people chose to emphasize different types of electronic, hip hop, rock etc. than Bonnaroo usually does, because the whole point is to improve the lineup and it's really hard to do that if everyone's drafting the exact same acts that play the fest anyway. Besides, if you're gonna be like "you need to book wook bass otherwise its not realistic" then you should also require people to book bad Spotify algorithm rock and boring lite-FM "Americana" and terrible frat rap and whatnot. Also going to do my best to not deduct quality points simply because I don't personally like some acts, because I like to feel that I can recognize when something is substantively "good" just not my taste.
Side question: I have a SJ that is less defined but because I like the themes of some of the others, I feel like creating a playlist that is directly what would be played is an interesting addition. Proves that you superjam has legs. How would people feel about sharing said playlist if they have a "looser" superjam they want to promote?

Seems fine to me, we talked about doing something similar.
first poll should go up Thursday to allow for posters to be made and FAs to be replaced. If you have extra FAs, please indicate this when you send me your FA lineup. When send it, please label is "[TEAM MEMBERS] FA List". I am new to FA reveals so sorry if I am late a couple times. Classed just started for me. FAs are due before the first reveal.
