As previously proposed (to a certain extent), the format would have us drawing the names from a hat each round of six songs and thus playing our selections in random order relative to the other participants. When the hat is empty all the names go back into the hat and we continue. After each song selection we vote for that song or the previously played song based on whatever criteria we feel as individuals we feel would like to apply.

The interesting thing is that you have first an opportunity to "counter" a previously played song with your own, yet every time you do, you get countered by the opponent that follows.

One of the big tasks of the evening will be tracking the selections and the voting. We need to decide if the voting will be public or by ballot of some sort. I would suggest that i can make up some tiles that are marked "C" or "P" for current or previous song. We each toss out the appropriate tile at the end of the song and someone slips the total into a spreadsheet and it tallies the vote. We can either keep the tally hidden 'till the end or show a running tally.

...other suggestions?
