Going on 10 years with WrestleZone
A few options. Last time I split the bands into decade-based regions. 50's/60's, 70's, 80's, 90's/00s. There are a few ways I can go this time.
Option One
Regions for genres of rock. A "Classic Rock" region, a "Metal" region, an "Alt / Grunge" region, etc. Bands from all genres entered in. Problem with this is some bands span more than one category, and may lose to a band purely from that category.
Option Two
Stick with the decades, only with 6 regions (50's - 00's) and pick the matches at random instead of by seeding.
Option Three
Each region represents a member of a rock band. In the "singer / frontman" region, guys like Freddie Mercury, Bret Michaels, Steve Perry, etc. battle it out for title of the greatest rock singer. In the guitarist region, the Slash's and Clapton's of the world. Then a bass region, a drum region, and a misc. region (for keyboards, cello, whatever). At the end of the tournament, WZ names its Mega-band.
Thoughts / ideas / brainstorms.

I shall enjoy debating you if number 3 becomes the option of choice.
