This is an awesome idea! I'll pitch this to the fam, but I'm sure they'll be in.

There is going to be a little change to the score keeping now due to limitations of the leaderboard system Rock Band uses. They have a cap set to 10,000 scores for songs by bands in the leaderboard. So if your band doesn't score high enough on a song it won't post on the leaderboard if it's not in the top 10k.

Since this is going to be a little contest we need to keep the score honest. The only way to keep the scores honest is for the bands to post a picture of their high scores. So any band playing will need a digital camera. After a song is over there is plenty of time for someone to grab a camera and snap a pic.

We are going to give out some prizes for the best band name and also for the best band picture. So be sure to dress up some night and post your band pics.

If anyone decides they don't want in now then please let me know. We have a great sponsor and some great prizes that we will be annoucing soon so I hope everyone decides to stick with this. I think this is going to be a great contest that will generate a lot of fun for everyone and their family/friends.

I will have some details up very soon and update the list of bands that are in.

If your name is listed and you aren't interested please let me know. If you want to get on the contest still then please let me know also.

I am please to say that the contest is now going to be sponsored by Drumshh and they are donating some great prizes.

The prizes include:

• Two $35 gift certificates (enough for 1 set of Quadrant pads + shipping in the US.)
• Four $20 gift certificates (enough for 1 set of 4-color/black/white (white is coming soon; meant for the Wii) pads + shipping in the US.)
• 20% off codes for all other non-winning band leaders (one code per band, though the band members can combine on one order since presumably they live in the same town). This code can't be comined with the PGL offer.

We will officially start the contest next week, so all bands will need to have their scores posted by 11pm EST on Sunday, June 22nd.

I will post the songs of the week this Saturday, June 14th.

NOTE: All band leaders please be sure to post up the name of your band, members (who they are, instrument and difficulty).

If anyone has questions please let send me a pm.

So get your bands ready and lets rock!

Count me out, I play by myself(shut up), so I'll have to catch you guys online later.

[supafreak]

We can probably open this up to PGL members playing together over live if that will get more bands. Since we are posting scoring via pictures then I don't see why we can't do that.

[D_Litch]

In that case, I'll take anyone who is as lonely as I.

[OOHCHIT]

ARE THE SONGS GOING TO BE POSTED TODAY???????????

[D_Litch]

CAPS LOCK!!!!!!

[supafreak]

Ok it's still Saturday in some parts of the country

I have updated the original post to contain the updated rules, info on prizes and the songs for this week. If you have any questions send me a pm.

The songs for this week will be:
Week 1 - Say It Ain't So (Weezer), Here It Goes Again (OK Go), Celebrity Skin (Hole)

I have changed the rules to allow for PGLers (who don't have enough family or friends for a local band) to form a band and they can play over Live. Since all scores will be validated via a picture this is now possible.

So get your bands together and lets see how high the scores can get for the first week of songs.

ROCK ON PEOPLEZ!

Hey Supa - quick question - Dlitch and I want to form a bad, but there might be a song or two on there I've never seen. Are some of them locked still? If so, hopefully Dlitch has em or I might not even be able to play them!

[D_Litch]

I've unlocked them all, Peenchita. We just need to decide on a name.

Thanks for running this Supa!
