Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
1. There will be no limit on participants. As many or as few people can join as want to play.
2. Participants may join until the first round of bidding ends, so that those who are hesitant have a chance to observe how everything works. The penalty for joining late will be missing out on whatever acts are purchased before they join.
3. If anyone quits, their lineup and remaining budget will be made available to the first non-participant who wishes to join. If no one claims the lineup, it will be dissolved, rather than put back on the market, to avoid inefficiencies.
4. Budget is 300 dollars per team. Every act drafted (top 30 on each lineup) must cost at least one dollar. Max bid is, in that case, 271.
5. Nomination orders will be randomized for the first round and posted in the OP. Joiners will nominate at the end of the first round in order of joining. Once the first round is complete, including joiners, subsequent rounds will be randomly ordered and all rounds will be posted in the OP.
6. When a bid is placed, the bidder should quote the previous high bid and announce their new bid. For example: "47 for Artist X". Please, please, please do not edit or delete posts with bids. A bid cannot be modified, with one exception per player per game (the Takeback, detailed below).
7. There is no limit to how many bids a player can place at once, but no player may have more than their max bid on the line at any given time. Any bids that take someone over their max will be ignored, while other outstanding bids will be honored.
8. Bidding will last up to 24 hours or until all players besides the one with the highest bid (the "leader") and two other participants have passed on an act. Once someone passes on an act, they cannot un-pass. This is to avoid any confusion.
9. Three acts will be nominated at a time until a comfort level is established. After this, the number of concurrent auctions will increase or decrease by one at a time based on a simple majority vote of drafters.
10. The Takeback: participants are allowed to rescind or lower a bid ONCE in the duration of the game. There are two instances in which participants may do this:
a) within two hours of placing the bid b) if the person ahead of the participant has rescinded their bid
To clarify, if Player A (leader and third-leading bid) rescinds their bid, Player B can rescind their second-leading bid, leaving Player A on the hook for the third-leading price. Both players would no longer have their Takeback for the duration of the game.
11. Takebacks may not be used on a pass.
12. Any artist who has played at least one full show since the dawn of time is eligible.
13. The backing band of a solo act may be decided by the winner of the act, rather than the nominator of the act. This applies globally to all similar considerations. The winning bidder will have full control of how to advertise the act.
14. Participants may nominate and bid on venues, specialized gear and stages, as well as musical acts. However, a stage or installation associated specifically with one venue cannot be drafted.
15. For the first two rounds, the nomination pool will be limited to four acts per drafter. Drafters will advance four acts to the pool upon sign-up.
16. After the first two rounds, all eligible acts will be available to be nominated and bid upon.
(I'm still not sure the best terminology to differentiate between people nominating an act ("nominators", first bidders) and those submitting acts to the pool. Welcome to suggestions on that lol..)
17. Bidders (especially nominators) are strongly encouraged to provide a setlist or live video/audio of the artist they are bidding for, as an example of the kind of show the artist is capable of putting on.
18. The voting details will be worked out after all teams have joined, to account for the number of participants, but voters will be encouraged to vote for the festival they would most like to attend, without money or travel as a factor.

eh I see where you're all coming from but as someone who (so far) has never engaged in the kind of strategizing that goes into trades etc. and more prefers the process of selecting acts, I'm not sure I'd enjoy an auction format as much.
You have access to every act in this and trades are borderline pointless.
I didn't mean trading specifically, I more meant I was looking over auction rules and wasn't sure I'd be into it based on the rules. I'll think it over and come back to you.
edit: also I'm not as much into infinity drafts conceptually
