Howdy ~Music Lovers!
I intended to begin SN ~Music Pool from September 01 but to make the rules clear and get some noise going for it, I had to start it a little earlier. This post is regarding the 'rules and How to Play' in the SN ~Music Pool.

How to Play:

  • Select 2 songs (one from top 50 and one from 51 to 100)
  • For each song, as starter, you'll recieve 10 points. That means you'll have 20 starting points.
  • When either of your selected song goes up the chart you score +1 (plus one) point for every position upwards https://m.stacker.news/47432
  • When either of your selected song goes down the chart, you score -1 (minus one) for every position lost.
Clarification on Points To say you chose songs that are sitting on number 40 and number 80 in the beginning. If your number 40 song moves up 5 spots and reaches to 35 the next day, you get +5 points. The other song loses two spots and goes down to 82 will give you -2 points the next day.
Since you get 20 points on Day 1. Your score will be 20+5-2 = 23 on the next day.
  • You can edit your song entries to the pool twice if you want to. This won't affect your already earned points. The edit cost will be 500 sats per song. (Prompt - 'Hey @Coinsreporter Edit my entry')
  • A pool post will be posted everyday with your nym and the ranking of the selected songs on the Billboard Hot 100. The Sats Zapped to this post will also be added to the pool.
  • If your overall score reaches 0 anytime during the competition or either of your song is out of 100 on the Billboard, you're automatically striked out of the pool.
  • However, you can rebuy in the pool with a 10% of total pool prize on the day of rebuying. (Prompt - 'Hey @Coinsreporter I wanna rebuy')
  • Wild Card Entry If anyone who doesn't rebuy in the pool after getting eliminated and his selected song gets a reentry to the top 100, the Stacker will be awarded a wild card entry with 20 points for the re-entry song and all his points for the other song will be added to these.

The Winner πŸ†

The Stacker who has the highest points on the last day of the month will win the ~Music Pool.
Tie Breaker:
  • If two or more stackers get tied, the stacker whose under top 50 song got to the highest, will win.
  • Still tied, the stacker whose top 50-100 song get to the highest, will win.
  • Still tied, there will be a singing competition, just kidding πŸ˜‚ the Sats Prize will be equally shared.

The Prize

All sats zapped on pool posts (-10% in fees) + zaps recieved as rebuys and edit entries + zaps recieved on Funny Musical Fridays + zaps recieved on Musical Mondays + (Entry Fee- ??) will be disbursed to the winner. (He will also be hailed as the The Musical Voice of SN).
About Entry Fee: I'm slightly confused on this, so I need your help please suggest me what can be the ideal amount of Sats for joining the ~Music Pool??
If there's still any confusion ir you've any input to make it bigger and better, please feel free to have your say in the comments.
Until we officially begin with the ~Music Pool from September 01, you can participate in a Beta (trial) version, The Same Rules Apply.
So, don't wait, go to Billboard Hot 100 and choose your 2 songs that will win you the maximum points and mark your entries in the comment box below.
this territory is moderated
To Mark your entry to the Pool for August, please use the following format:
My Entries to the pool:
  1. Top 50 - Song Number (Song Title)
  2. 50-100 - Song Number (Song Title)

Why not so many Stackers showing interest in this pool? It's better than sports poolsπŸ€ͺ
reply
I think it's something very new. It'll take some time to establish here. Still, we have got a very good response. It's not that nobody's interested. Some have joined and some more will join.
What do you say about applying a joining fees?
reply
Until people understand well. Till then I am not in support of joining fees. You can do it later. When people start getting interested.
reply
No. 28 (It's Up)
No. 63 (Blue Green Red)

Thanks! Noted.
Any suggestions?
reply
Yes, you can also create a pool about artists top 100 and emerging artists also.
reply
Ahh! We don't have such list where ranks are provided for emerging artists!

reply
Locked in. Thanks!
Any suggestions? Or, can I implement a little joining fees from the official release?
One more thing.
As in the pool, we have an elimination rule. "If any of your songs goes out of 100, you're eliminated straight away."
So, to make it a little better, I think there should be a reward for the player whose song touches no. 1 spot. I'm thinking to award him 10 additional points. What do you say?
reply
Oh boy. I know nothing about contemporary music but I will make my best effort to try to stay competitive.
reply
I'm still waiting for your entries here.
reply
I thought I submitted my entries earlier today
reply
So sorry, it's my bad! I was just random reminding stackers and found in this conversation that there are no entries. I've noted your entries.
reply
Thanks
reply
I think you know about Music better than you know about Cricket . You'll do much better in it! As mentioned in the post, you can start playing from today. It'll be like a practice match before the main game beginning on September 01.
Do you have any suggestions or input?
reply
I definitely know more about music than I know about cricket but not any of today's popular music. I will give it a shot though.
reply
I could have done it with the top ranking charts for old music but I didn't find any. I'm sorry.
reply
I'm waiting for your entries for August, for the trial game period!
reply
Have to drive my wife to the city for an appointment. I will take a look this evening when we get back. Short on time this morning.
reply
Song 23 Big Dawgs and 66 Femininomenon
reply
Thanks! Noted.
Tell me anything if you would like to add up to the pool.
reply
No, I don't have anything to add. You are doing good job.
reply
reply
I don't think I will participate I will watch and zap, though. My old ears are incapable of hearing musical sounds created after 1980.
reply
I can suggest you. It's simple. Just select a new song from 1-50 on the chart. And also select another new song with less than 2 weeks on the charts from 51-100 and let the charts do the rest.
Once you think your song has reached the highest on the chart, use edit option and enter with another new song.. your points will increase
reply
What! You've made a good strategy. But I'm yet to see your entries here.
reply
You actually don't have to listen. Just look at the Billboard charts and do a bit of analysis and select two songs.
reply
Maybe.
reply
reply
Thanks for showing interest. So, you gonna participate when we begin the main pool.
reply
Ah, shoot. Misread this last night and the September 1st date stuck, so I was setting a reminder to revisit this when home. I am traveling/camping this week in many places without reception, so my participation won't be easy. I'll sit this one out but gonna add 2k to the pot for everyone. I also don't know much about contemporary music :) but want to support activity here in SN.
reply
Thank you so much! πŸ™
I think you should and you can participate.
  • First it won't require you to show up here again and again. The Billboard chart updates weekly and if required you can edit your entry anytime.
  • Secondly, it doesn't require any expertise to contemporary music. Rather, if you look closely to the game rules, it requires your chart reading analytical skills. I would suggest you to think it like sports pool where you just have to predict which players gonna score the most goals or runs. For example, a song running for many weeks does not have the same probability of moving up the charts as does a new song in its first or second week. So it's a fair game for everyone.
  • Thirdly, the main/official Music pool will start from September 1, this is just a trial pool. I intend to inform about music pool and rules before we begin officialy.
The official pool will require you enter only once. It won't ask your regular participation. So, I think you should participate.
reply
Ok, I'm about to be out in open ocean for the next 4-6 hours. I'll enter by randomly choosing numbers. I'll go with whatever songs are at 24 and 67 currently :) hope this qualifies as a valid entry!
reply
Yes, it's a valid entry. Thanks! These entries are for this trial pool only and for the main pool, you'll have to return here on September 01.
Should I dedicate your 2000 sats for the trial pool or the main pool?
reply
2k to both, cheers
reply
Thank you so much again! I'm completely sure now that this SN ~Music Pool is gonna be another huge hit.
This idea is great!! But I have no idea where to start with my guesses yet. I'll have to come back to that. πŸ€”πŸ€”
reply
Thanks! Kindly take a closer look and suggest if you think we need to change or add up something.
reply
I'm still waiting for your entries.

My Entries to the pool:
  1. Top 50 - Hanumankind x kalmia - big dawgs.
  2. 50-100 - Richy Mitch and the coal miners - evergreen.
Let's go!
Sorry for the delay @Coinsreporter
reply
No problem!

My Entries to the pool:
Top 50 - 3 (Not Like Us) 50-100 - 51 (Apple)
reply
Great! You've entered with the Number three. It may be a double sided knife. Although top songs remain on top for more time, number 3 can only rise two spots up and can only possibly give you +2 points. However it may fall 97 more places which can leave you with -87 points!
It's very interesting game! Stackers will realise it, once they play. It's not just predicting, you need be very smart with your decision as well.
Number 3 may prove to be very stable!
Anything you would like to suggest?
reply
I wasn't thinking about that!
reply
Because, it's a trial pool, so if you wanna change or edit your entries you can do it.
reply
For trial version 😊
  1. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart Taylor Swift
  2. Chihiro Billie Eilish
Can we send like this? Or need to screenshot part of the song list(like you shown above).
reply
One song from 1-50 and one song from 51 to 100 as far as I got it.
