Dude you can do it, AND make it sound good! Just have fun, that's all that matters; oh and the deadline too

Now my last bit of "issue"... (have to consider this, because now you guys are really making me want to join)...It's going to be tricky for me to listen to so many mixsets.

That's just a rule that can not be bent, broken or compromised.

How long is each round going to last? I guess this question I'll need answered to make my final decision.

Deadlines come after we have all 16 entries lined up. I tends to take a while to fill the last few slots. We usually to allow 2 weeks to mix once we are all set for each round. From there it takes about a week to get the mixes uploaded and they stagger a bit to keep the battles open and give voters time to listen, comment and vote. Otherwise you have (14) 30 minute sets to listen to in one week (this was hard on tournament contestants-we do have lives after all-AND you have to vote on all mixes or be eliminated). Kind of a slow painful process, but you just have to stick with it.

Glad to see the comment on when the deadline is. I'll tango with you guys. I'm in.

I also believe this directly conflicts with the next statement you made:

But that's what I "feel like" doing. Increasing skill and gaining good feedback. I don't have a passion for it per say, but I feel like it.

Just curious about this really. Maybe I'm reading too much into it... but this is immediately how it came off to me.

I think the first statement pertains to people that are thinking about signing up to just have fun and not care too much about the passion for Trance which will be on display by the others..

The second statement is for people that don't have a problem with that first statement and signed up.

In other words Ellissentials, go away because id like to get past round one

and if I don't I'd like to get beat by someone that actually loves Trance!!
