Potential DT Song March Madness style bracket

[Xaves]

It's less then a week till Selection Sunday, and I've been thinking, "What if we did a March Madness-style DT Bracket?" Would you guys be interested in that? I wouldn't mind song suggestions to put on it.

Also, a sidenote: The Chicago concert was sooo good for my first DT Concert. I almost cried during Octavarium.

We have certainly had various ways to do DT song contests in the past, but this could be fun.

Usually we've done survivors - check the Polls/Survivors subforum - but the closest thing to what you're describing was DT: The League.  See this post: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php/topic,34282.0.html

Ok, should I move this thread to the Polls/Survivors thread then, or should it stay here?

Leave it here for now.  Let's see how much interest it generates.

I would be very interested in this! I have no idea how something like this gets set up, but I imagine it would start with either 64 or 128 songs. A decision would also need to be made on whether certain suites (e.g. "A Mind Beside Itself" and "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence") are handled as one song or multiple songs; I would suggest going by how the songs are indexed on CD.

Traditionally AMBI is separated while SDoIT is kept as one.

Ok, so will a standard DT song countdown be done as well? I would be interested in this but I feel like a proper countdown would generate more accurate results

Selection Sunday? what did I miss?

That's terminology from the college basketball tournament being modeled.  IRL it's the day we find out what teams make the tournament.
