Only 2 days to vote??? and on the weekends? People dont log onto BTF anymore like they used to, might want to extend that a little. Just my thoughts

Agree with iJatt - a 2 day window might not be very feasible for people to listen to ALL 15 matches (like there are currently scheduled this week) and cast votes for each.

Maybe have one mixing ladder challenge every 2 weeks? So basically something like...

Monday (of week 1) - Monday (of week 2): Provide a full week for mixers to put together a minute long segment (or so).

Tuesday (of week 2) - Saturday (of week 2): Provide 5 days for the BTF audience to listen to the mixes, write feedback (unless mixers don't care about that?), and vote in a topic (so random new people don't just register & start voting.. have a minimum # of posts required on BTF to count).

On Sunday: Have a master thread where the "ladder" is updated to show the new rankings. New songs are put together for the new challenges. E-mails go out for the new challenges.

And the process repeats... just a suggestion though.. you guys can experiment with what works best for you all.

Excited for this to get underway. Again, thank you for stepping up to run this. I hope the participation level stays consistent this season!

All the best,
