Cool stuff!

At first, I was a bit worried of the idea of having more than seven songs because I assumed they would all be on the same setlist, which would put games with small soundtracks at a disadvantage from the outset. But having a secondary pool after the initial six or seven songs get used... that sounds good! And I really like the idea of 1/2/3's being the focal point of the losers bracket, as it increases the overall quality of the matches. Last contest there were loads of games that never got a chance to use any of their top three. Anyway, with the winner's bracket being completely random in conjuction to how the loser's bracket works, we now have an actual incentive to keep the top three strongest tracks in the top three of the setlist.

And as for tiebreakers using music from the secondary list...I guess that's fine. It opens up a lot more potential music to be used, which could be fun. It's definitely better than the old way of doing tiebreakers!

Overall, the new system of setting up matches seems to be a huge improvement over BOST5! I'm still a bit worried about a potential large increase in nominations, though. In BOST5 we had 175 nominated games. I'm expecting at least 225 games this time if nominations are done the same as last time. We had a cap of seven nominations per user in BOST5. Should it be dropped to five or six this time around so we're not as overwhelmed with all the music to go through? (and also... please don't remove the snubs bracket!)
