On that note... I am changing my audition to something lots better than the original audition. NOTE: this is a demo.

Here's a SEEDING SUGGESTION

I'm not sure how you guys plan on doing it now... you might even have the same idea I'm about to give so sorry if this seems well... obvious. But start off by figuring out which 64 competitors have made it into the group stage. Then after that rank each song from number 1-64. This will be the seeding for the competition and it does't have to change at all. Each person can keep their seed throughout.

In the group round the top 16 will be to top seeds of their round. (like in a sport I guess here... it'd go like this)

Group 1
1st seed
17th seed
33rd seed
49th seed

Group 2
2nd seed
18th seed
34th seed
50th seed

Group 3
3rd seed
19th seed
35th seed
51st seed

Group 4
4th seed
20th seed
36th seed
52nd seed

Group 5
5th seed
21th seed
37th seed
53rd seed

Group 6
6th seed
22nd seed
38th seed
54th seed

Group 7
7th seed
23rd seed
39th seed
55th seed

Group 8
8th seed
24th seed
40th seed
56th seed

Group 9
9th seed
25th seed
41st seed
57th seed

Group 10
10th seed
26th seed
42nd seed
58th seed

Group 11
11th seed
27th seed
43rd seed
59th seed

Group 12
12th seed
28th seed
44th seed
60th seed

Group 13
13th seed
29th seed
45th seed
61st seed

Group 14
14th seed
30th seed
46th seed
62nd seed

Group 15
15th seed
31st seed
47th seed
63rd seed

Group 16
16th seed
32nd seed
48th seed
64th seed

As you can see the seeds in the top 25% face someone from the top 50%, 75% and top um.... top 100%. Though I'm sure all the people in the competition will bring a high quality track to the table this will help ensure that the two best artists aren't locked in a stage together (thusly only one moves forward.) after this stage I have debated between a couple different scenarios for the bracket round. The first will have the top groups fighting the bottom groups in the round of 16.

ROUND OF 16

Match 1
Group 1-1 winner
Group 16 winner
Winner goes to match 2-1

Match 1-2
Group 2 winner
Group 15 winner
Winner goes to match 2-2

Match 1-3
Group 3 winner
Group 14 winner
winner goes to match 2-3

Match 1-4
Group 4 winner
Group 13 winner
winner goes to match 2-4

Match 1-5
Group 5 winner
Group 12 winner
winner goes to match 2-4

Match 1-6
Group 6 winner
Group 11 winner
winner goes to match 2-3

Match 1-7
Group 7 winner
Group 10 winner
winner goes to match 2-2

Match 1-8
Group 8 winner
Group 9 winner
winner goes to match 2-1

QUARTER FINALS

Match 2-1
winner moves on to semi 1

Match 2-2
winner moves on to semi 2

Match 2-3
Winner moves on to semi 1

Match 2-4
Winner moves on to semi 2

SEMI FINALS

Semi 1
Winner goes to Final
Loser goes for 3rd place Final

Semi 2
winner goes to Final
Loser goes to 3rd place Final

FINALS
Winner of 3rd place final 3rd
Loser of final 2nd
Winner of final 1st

The second way is to rearrange the winners from the group rounds into new seeds by ordering them by their original seeds. For example if seed 17 wins the first group and seeds 2-16 win their groups then then seed 17 would be seed 16 in the round of 16 and 2-16 would be bumped up 1 since they are higher than 17. From then the seeding would be the same.

Man I hope that's not too confusing... I could draw it out if you need more.

Hey I'm okay with having a shitload of DnB and house or whataver but I really get bothered by the lack of bands around this site, I mean I think ever since there's the frontpage audio tab thingy,I 've saw like tow or three blues or funk songs by bands, so here's my band and a song about power,revolution, and love, tell me what you think about it:

Response to N G A D M '14: Auditions 2014-07-30 15:57:23


WARNING - even though I am using the same song, I pulled a sound remaster on the track, so if you already have listened to it I would suggest cleaning out cookies.

Not confusing at all! That's actually a great idea, but the issue is that the final auditions list we produce as judges won't be an ordered top 64. It'll be in no particular order, making it harder to implement your idea. Also, we take into consideration other stuff rather than the quality of the auditions when seeding. We also consider whether they're likely to produce a new track in the timeframe, if they've taken part in previous NGADMs, what genre they are, etc.

My count is currently at 185 auditions! Less than 6 hours left!

Can I change my submission? Know I'm 10 min late, but when you said that there was less than 20 hours left I thought that meant that the deadline was 7am for me ( live in Norway so have different time zone. Thus I thought that I still had an hour, but now I see it ended 6am and not 7am.
I know that I probably should have checked the time zone in the original post and I don't know if this counts as a ridiculously good reason, but can I change my submission from End of the Day to this?

Promise I won't be late again :/.
