My thought is, you allow signups with the warning that if there aren't enough people with all the exports or willing to acquire them then it won't be run when the leagues start. If there aren't enough, just don't run it. If people don't like it being canceled, that's their own fault.
If people who are missing something sign up and can't do a song, it's their own fault.
I'd say ignore ACDC and Green Day though if you do run it, the band games aren't the best for variety and they're probably the least exported games anyway. _________________

Very cool, I'll play.
I'm not great at Blitz, but I probably have more of a chance at doing decent at this League than I ever did at any of the other Leagues.
Not sure if I want to do the DLC league yet, time will tell. The only exports I don't have would be annoying to get should they pop up in Leagues, so I probably wouldn't sign up for an Export League over a DLC League, even though the exports provide some of the best songs.
Selfishly I wish the DLC League had to be limited to the "On Sale" content, because then it would be a max of $4 a week assuming I had none of the songs, and I would be okay with that!
(Heh, it's funny how I'm more likely to buy a song I'll never play again for a dollar, but screw it if it's 2 dollars! Kinda like how we buy expensive iPhones and don't want to pay $1.99 for the apps. :p) _________________

This is perfect for me.
Unfortunately, what with college and a lack of spending money right, I'm thinking I'm going to have to pass, unless I want to run with the Main Songs (which wouldn't be any fun).
Still, there's time between now and Sunday if I change my mind. _________________

Hey the main songs are fun :p
plus I'd find them pretty easy at this point since my Career Score on the 25 songs are over 13 million
The locked power up league looks interesting and should be fun to try weird powerup combos. _________________

I actually very much enjoy the competitiveness of Blitz so I'll join in this league, why not? _________________

Due to the number of preliminary signups received we've decided to run only the following two leagues with a healthy participation, as opposed to spreading competition too thin.
- RB Blitz - Main Songs (Locked Power-Ups)
- RB Blitz - All DLC (Any Power-Ups)
The leagues interface has been updated and will accept signups for one more week before leagues start next Sunday, November 11.
SIGN UP HERE!
If you were signed up for a league that was cut and wish to participate in another league, you will have to sign up again.
We're aiming to finish the leagues a few days before Christmas in hopes to avoid holiday schedule conflicts - here's the tentative schedule:
As a final note, please think about the commitment before signing up. Dropouts have been a big problem in the past and make leagues less fun for everyone, so only sign up if you plan to submit scores every round. _________________

I wasn't gonna do the DLC league, but now that I got an extra paycheck, why not? I'm in.
I hope more people sign up. You could offer prizes for the top 3 players or something? I know Leagues haven't traditionally offered prizes other than bragging rights, but just an idea.
I also made a little banner for the leagues. Not sure if using this banner would encourage players but eh, it's something. _________________

To encourage participation I'll be awarding 5 contribution points to all members that do not miss a single score submission throughout these leagues.

If these go well we plan to keep running leagues highlighting different games each season. But they're designed simply as friendly competition and we don't have plans to offer monetary-based prizes (the site hasn't been covering our server costs).
We could offer a custom avatar banner ("League Champion") to be passed along to the current winners each seasons as some form of added encouragement. That probably still falls under bragging rights, but it's something we can offer. _________________

Good idea! It doesn't have to cost money to be a prize. _________________

I have a question. So let's just say a perma-rocker (like me) wins the league. Would they receive the banner upon de-permarockering?
Anyway, this is great, I'm always happy for more contribution points. _________________

This is my ultimate hope. I really dont like Blitz that much but I am hoping that if this goes well then maybe we could have further leagues in the future. Nothing as crazy as before but pick 1 game from either rock band or guitar hero and have 1 or 2 leagues. There are always enough people around here for 1 or 2 leagues.
Hopefully I dont get trashed to much. Custom banner for last place, lol _________________

So, and this may be silly, but I've clicked on the 'sign up here' link in JCirri's post several times from different machines and all redirect me to the SH front page.
Any help on this front? I'd like to participate! _________________
