So after all the requests of families around the world, here it is.
Since i'm starting i will set the rules and the composers who will begin the competition.

Rules:

1- One vote a day (a 2+ and 2-).
2- Once a composer reaches 20 points he goes to the hall of fame, and another composer enters the competition.
3. Once a composer is eliminated, goes to Purgatory. and a new composer enters competition.
4. The last person to vote for the elimination or for the hall of fame is the one who enters the new composer.
5. 10 composers in competition in each "round"
6. Once 10 composers are in the purgatory, one round is made to save one soul, the rest go straight to hell!

Here goes the first 10 with 10 points each

Handel 10
Bach 10
Beethoven 10
Mozart 10
Dvorak 10
Tchaikovsky 10
Mahler 10
Stravinsky 10
Bartok 10
Shostakovich 10

Go!

2- Once a composer reaches 30 points he goes to the hall of fame, and another composer enters the competition.

Does the new composer start with 10 points?

Yes, once a new composer enters the game he starts with 10 points as well, it's the default.

And to make matters worse, my mom has translated some Bartok family papers into Turkish (from English) at the request of (I think) Bela's grandson. The case involved securing a Turkish copyright for a piece whose title escapes me, though I remember it wasn't on ArkivMusic.

Poor Handel wrote mostly works that require an attention span of more than 10 minutes. One of my favorites.

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
