Bonnaroo Simulation Team Draft BULLS WIN

People really don't like math around here.

Wooooooooow.

Last time I share wholesome story about your Tru Self on this forum, that's for sure.

A comeback is possible for a couple teams

Do you need anything? You good?

Edit: that color looks really nice on you btw

reminder that ties are given to the highest seed so these teams essentially have an extra half point

Reminder you can see this legendary collab at our festival

I'm trying to finish the schedules/explanations for the other two but might not be done before 6pm

Edit: Just in case I don't get done, I'm voting for

Team Frazzledrip over chandler/rummy

and

Jaz/Fred over Capn Jim “Mad Dog” Mattis / Cap’n Mac

Nothing has changed in my scores and I don't feel like copying and pasting my reasons, so here's the first 2 matchups:

Sangdeto vs. King T/JTR

Sangdeto has a quality score of 7 vs. King T/JTR's score of 7
Sangdeto has a realism score of 6 vs. King T/JTR's score of 5

PASSION ENERGY vs. The Bulls

DE/WIPP has a quality score of 8 vs. The Bulls score of 7
DE/WIPP has a realism score of 6 vs. The Bulls score of 7

Since this is tied, I'm giving the tiebreaker to DE/WIPP because I think the headliners are slightly better in both quality and realism, and DE/WIPP has a better Thursday anyways.

I didn't actually have the time to give the other teams ratings, so I'll do a short review for each lineup:

Bingrumaroo vs. Frazzledrip

Bingrumaroo schedule:

Thursday - Porridge Radio > Spellling > Opry > Tropical Fuck Storm
Friday - Julia Jacklin > Sampha > Dorian Electra > Joji > Angel Olsen > BOCC > HAIM > Billie Eilish > Sufjan Stevens > Caribou
Saturday - Empress Of > Phantogram > Stormzy > Moses Sumney > Snarky Puppy >  The Raconteurs > Radiohead > GY!BE
Sunday - Cherry Glazerr > Jay Som > Vince Staples > Kamasi Washington > The War on Drugs > Solange > Paul Simon

Great overall schedule, completely nailed it with Radiohead into Godspeed, 3 well rounded headliners, Stormzy is a great pick for this and I wish I saw more grime on people's lineups in general as it's really picking up some steam in the US and just makes a lot of sense, I wish Snarky Puppy and Moses Sumney weren't conflicting like they are, Paul Simon closing out the fest is great. 8/10

Frazzledrip schedule: 

Thursday - Omar Apollo > Headie One > Channel Tres > Octo Octa b2b Eris Drew
Friday - This is the Kit > James Murphy > Men I Trust > Floorplan > Ari Lennox > Big Red Machine > Phoebe Bridgers > Rosalia > Iron Maiden > Bonobo > Sigur Ros
Saturday - The Beths > Mighty Mighty Bosstones > Sigrid > Jay Electronica > Of Monsters & Men > Lil Uzi Vert > Hot Chip > Taylor Swift > QOTSA > SJ
Sunday - Bonny Light Horseman > Caspian > Wooden Shjips > Brockhampton > Kylie Minogue > Phish

Maybe my favorite schedule other than my own. Some great Thursday acts in Headie One and Channel Tres, Friday is just all around fucking nuts, especially closing on the band I would most like to see live in Sigur Ros. Side note that BRM and Phoebe overlapping at all is a crime and should be fixed. Saturday has more big pulls for me in the fantastic superjam, QOTSA, Hot Chip, OMAM (big nostalgia, the new stuff isn't that good), and Taylor after the new album. Sunday is weak in comparison but Caspian and Brockhampton is a nice closer. 9/10

Bingrumaroo ealism: I think Bing and Rummy have one of the best set of headliners for the draft, having 3 names all with decently different pulls and all being enough to sell out. Camila Cabello before Radiohead makes no sense at all in my head, and just overall not a good pick even though she is popular. She honestly is probably headliner level anyways. Really good Thursday in every sense, I don't have much of a problem with the other stage here and this fest did a good job of picking up newer names. 8/10

Frazzledrip realism: This headliner trio looks insane but I can see it being one to sell out the fest, and also possibly happening. Iron Maiden is a pretty unrealistic pick overall but if any US fest gets them I could see it being Roo. Taylor is a fantastic pick for the draft. A lot of these undercard acts are really good at supporting the headliners that were picked, and work pretty well billing wise (with an exception to Missy Elliott, though I don't really know where she would be billed). 8/10

Both lineups are fantastic and voting against Radiohead and Sufjan is very difficult but I have to give it to Frazzledrip for putting together an amazing fest.

Captains vs. Jaz/Fred

Captain's schedule is private, but the poster has pretty solid names throughout so I'll give it a 7.

Jaz/Fred schedule:

Thursday - Chai > Confidence Man > Altin Gun > Cordae
Friday - Dua Saleh > Still Woozy > Belle & Sebastian > Harry Styles > Jesus & Mary Chain > Gambino > Thundercat > Gizz
Saturday - Broken Social Scene > FKA Twigs > Beach House > Lady Gaga > Slowdive > Flying Lotus
Sunday - Aldous Harding > Big Thief > Pusha T > Tash Sultana > The XX > Nick Mason > Arcade Fire

The undercard on saturday and friday are super weak for my taste, which is really disappointing because I absolutely love the headliners, LN, and subs. Thursday is pretty good, and Sunday is pretty nice. 5/10

Captains realism: Tool and Pearl Jam don't really need to be on the same lineup, but Gorillaz, Tyler and Florence are all great picks. I don't this would quite reach sell out levels, but there's a lot of gems in the undercard that all make a ton of sense at roo, like Kali Uchis, Slowthai, Denzel Curry, Explosions in the Sky, and more. There's a few names near the top that while don't feel super realistic on their own, make sense for what the captains put together. 6/10

Jaz/Fred realism:
This is another where I'm not quite sure if they make it to sell out levels, but the headliner trio is very solid. The subs in general feel a bit on the weaker side in popularity, though having Harry Styles subbing balances that somewhat. King Gizz is a perfect pick, especially LN which. Pretty good genre mix overall, though I gotta say all the edm here is really bad, even for edm standards. 7/10

7/10 on quality and 6/10 on realism is enough to beat Jaz/Fred with 5/10 on quality and 7/10 in realism

Thinking about changing some of my votes last minute to cause mayhem

I'll got to III points next year.

Frazzledrip schedule


Bing/Rummy schedule


Voting for Frazzledrip because while I love Radiohead and Paul Simon, I've seen Radiohead twice and Paul Simon on his farewell tour, and I haven't seen Taylor Swift and Iron Maiden and those are both really high on my list. Billie would also be really cool, and postjack and snowman know damn well I'm gonna see Phish if I get the chance/have the money when they're near me. I think my days are more full at Frazzledrip. I'd go to both lineups though for sure

This one came in too late

I decided I'm not going to run one because of this draft.

Jake Jortles and I were talking about doing a III Points draft a while ago but there’s already a couple scheduled (Auction currently, Zombie Draft in October cdevaney?, Coachella 2 after, Infinity IV in January 2021?)
