Maybe unlikely

I had a great time as usual. I just wondered about one thing. This year two different artists or bands were played in two different panels. They were both good and got lots of attention so it's a good thing but it's hard to believe that two different artists got randomly pulled twice in one weekend.
I know Taxi isn't stacking the deck but have some people figured out how to stack the deck?

Maybe once you're CD has been pulled you should be out of the running for other panels? Logistically it could be complicated but it would make people do their homework and submit to panels that relate to their music more and it would encourage people to submit to fewer.

I always remember one year a woman approached Michael and said she'd been coming for ten years and submitted to every panel and had never been pulled. It just seems like there might be a way to stack the odds a little in favor of those who have never gotten a listen.

Any ideas?
