Setlist Game Rules

Overview

Predict setlists for Green Day and side project shows. Pick the songs you think will be played, put them in order, and earn points based on how close your predictions match the actual setlist.

Pick as many songs as you want - but be strategic. You earn points for correct songs and bonus points for getting the position right, but you lose points for every extra or incorrect pick. Nailing the exact number of songs earns a bonus too.

Cutoff Times

Picks lock 1 hour before the official showtime. You can make or change picks for any upcoming show at any time before the cutoff. Once locked, picks are final.

The exact cutoff time is displayed on each game. All times are in Eastern Time.

Scoring
+3 Picking a song that was played that night (but not in the correct spot)
+5 Picking a song in the exact spot it was played in the set
+5 Bonus for picking the exact number of songs in the setlist
+15 Bustout bonus - correctly predicting a song not played in 50+ shows
+25 Mega bustout bonus - correctly predicting a song not played in 100+ shows (replaces the +15)
-2 For each extra song you pick beyond the actual setlist length
-2 For each song you picked that was not played

All bonuses stack additively. If you pick a mega bustout in the exact right spot, you get +3 (hit) plus +5 (spot) plus +25 (mega bustout) for a total of +33 points on a single pick.

Bonus Questions
+3 Correct answer on a bonus question
-3 Wrong answer on a bonus question

Some games may include optional bonus questions - yes or no predictions about what might happen at the show. These are completely optional. If you are not confident in your answer, skip the question for 0 points. There is risk involved: a wrong answer costs you -3 points.

Bonus questions are added by the admin and will appear on the picks page when available for a game.

How to Make Picks

Go to the Setlist Game tab on your account page and click "Make Picks" for any upcoming show. Search for songs, add them to your list, and drag to reorder. Your picks are saved automatically when you click Save.

Pick as many or as few songs as you want. If you think the band will play a song that is not in our database, use the "New Song" option.

You can edit your picks at any time before the cutoff. After the show, the admin will enter the actual setlist and score all picks. Results and standings update immediately.

Leaderboards

Green Day: Standings are per-tour. Each named tour has its own leaderboard. One-off performances outside a named tour are grouped by year.

Side projects (The Coverups, Pinhead Gunpowder, etc.): Standings are per year, since side projects rarely do formal tours.

The Hall of Fame tracks all-time season champions across every band and tour.
