This, if for no other reason, would be something fun to engage in just to see what the question was for 2016. That's the benefit/point. | |
| Feb 10, 2017 at 19:13 | comment | added | user527 | Not at all, your input is appreciated. Regarding seeing the same questions we already do, I'll say that for half of them in my proposed bracket, I wasn't intimately familiar with (and I see a majority of questions coming in). Point being, for a less frequent user, these questions may have been more overlooked. | |
| Feb 10, 2017 at 19:09 | comment | added | JeopardyTempest | But I'm quite behind the idea as a whole. It's all about the details/tweaking as to whether it flies. I still think it works better on the site as a whole, and will put together a proof bracket for entire site. | |
| Feb 10, 2017 at 19:08 | comment | added | JeopardyTempest | And please don't take the comments as critical, about 10 years ago we spent days putting together a tournament bracket addition to a weather forecasting competition we were in, and arguing it through. It's just that I think it's going to put the same questions in front of us we're seeing anyways. And if anything draw our attention to the good/well answered questions where we could rather use attention on unanswered ones. I'm not saying it can't work, I just don't see quite the benefit/attention to make it worthwhile, particularly if it became an annual thing. | |
| Feb 10, 2017 at 18:59 | comment | added | user527 | "And just not sure you'd get many/meaningful votes, we don't have that many people heavily active." This is a way to address this. If you have another way, feel free to share. It's fine if it isn't your cup of tea as there's no requirement to vote. As far as extending this beyond to all of SE, that's a different discussion that is outside the scope of this site. We're doing what we can for this site including running it concurrent with March Madness and promoting community involvement. Again, this is proof of concept, and if it falls flat on its face, at least we tried. | |
| Feb 10, 2017 at 18:55 | comment | added | user527 | Thanks for the perspective. 1) We're not flooded with new questions to the point where this would be a diversion. 2) Voting for a question in this tournament isn't meant to be meaningful (maybe the "voting details" you suggest can be left as a comment to conjure discussion)...but perhaps taking another look at the question might produce an answer, a vote, or anything that was otherwise overlooked...that's where it would be meaningful. | |
