Round 1
The seeding round is now over, all 40 movies have been watched helping me get through some of my backlog in my DVD collection but it is now time to move onto the challenge proper. The rules are simple, when it is your turn to pick you will give me a number between 1 and 300 (inclusive) that has not been previously chosen. These numbers all have a prompt attached to them from which you will then choose a movie I haven't seen to fit said prompt. The types of prompts vary, including genre's, decades, keywords and various others and range from easy to hard to score well for me. The option to pass on your prompt is allowed but you will lose 10% off your score for your movie choice. If you pass you will pick another number and receive a new prompt, again with the option to pass for another 10% score loss. If there is a passed prompt on your turn you can decide to take that prompt for yourself instead of picking a number. This is one of the advantages of the higher seeds picking last, to allow themselves the chance to have more choice on their movie. After all 40 movies are watched the bottom 4 ranked movies will see their recommenders eliminated and we will move onto round 2.
The order of selection is below. The first 5 will pick their number and movie in order, which they can either do in public or private depending if they want their prompt/selection known by others straight away or not until I post their review. Once I watch one movie the next person can pick so I always have the option of 5 movies until the end. I will not be watching them in order, but more by convenience at hand (my collection, library, streaming etc). I will try to keep this post and the spreadsheet (
