MoFo Music League I

I'd like to present this idea to all devoted music fans.

Creating series of Music Leagues using a very interesting and helpful online app.
It is all about songs. To participate, you should have a Spotify account and then, you can register for the app using this account.
I think, this application can be installed on your device but this is not obligatory, I use it directly via my browser and it works just perfect. The playlists are created automatically by the app to be listened in Spotify. All points, rankings, stats, everything is in the app.

I'd like to see how many users are interested so I can adjust the things accordingly. In my view, at least about seven participants will be fine. No problem if the popularity increase. I hope so. (No problem they to be 20 and more.)

So...


Invitation link to League I: click here

It consists of 6 rounds, thematically formed.

R1 • Cover Songs
R2 • The Nineties Jukebox
R3 • Duets
R4 • Guilty Pleasures
R5 • Movie Soundtrack
R6 • To be announced

Participants nominate tunes in accordance with the themes. Nobody can see the nominations, even the host. After the last song is submitted, the playlist is automatically opened as well as the ranking points table.
All users have 15 points to assign. You have to spend all of them but can't assign more than 7 to a single song (you can't vote for the song you submitted). After the voting is done, the next round submission is opened.
I've adjusted it for two days for listening but in case it is done earlier, the app starts next round immediately. If a participant missed voting, he/she don't receive points for the submission.

Let's see how it goes. Hope you'll enjoy it and hope enough users going to join the league.

This thread is to serve for discussions and so on. By the way, the app offers variety of options for posting thoughts, comments etc.

OK, Round 1 is open for nominations.
Just follow the link in the first post and add your songs.

No nominations received so far. OK, I'll extend the time of R1 to see if some interest is going to be showed.

I'm in!

It is very easy to sign up for this, by the way. Assuming all your passwords are saved, you barely have to tap/touch your keyboard.

Nice! Welcome Torgo in the League.

Yes, it probably sounds too complicated to users but it is not. The ones who join will see how entertaining it is further on.

Hope, we gonna reach 6-7 people in the next 20 hours, so that the voting time to be opened.

In the meantime, suggestions for R6 theme are welcome.

I just joined. Give me a while to check what I need to do.

EDIT: Ok, so for this first round, just one cover?

That's right.

Done. I went with my gut and not my brain but I really like it. Just in case, can I change it if I want to?

Yes, you can change it. There is an icon that says 'change song(s)'. You can do it anytime before the voting starts. You can see, there is a clock that countdown the hours to the showtime. At this moment it shows "Songs due in 15 hours". I'm going to extend it with six more hours waiting for more participants to join.

In the app, there is also menu with profile settings where users can adjust the nicknames for the app and add special avatar.

Another nice feature is in the search line, when nominating a song, the app warns you if someone else has already nominated a song from the same album and artist.


Once more, you can assign points to all songs but yours (anyway, the app controls this).

I'm dipping my toe in...

Welcome!

Are you the purple 'M' avatar?

Indeed I am

OK, four users registered in the League, so far.
Couple more and we can start it this evening...

Some additional simple description for all hesitants. You play here as a team manager and the songs are your players. You choose them from the Spotify database and play with them in several themed rounds in front of adjudicators, aiming to accumulate as many points as possible, trying to win the League.

I like this idea and will tentatively participate!

Welcome to Thursday in the League!

Who's next? Come on...
