An '''audio tournament''' is a type of [[side event]] which is played by listening to a series of pyramidally-ordered audio clips, rather than by reading a question on the page. Audio tournaments often focus on classical music or opera, with a few focusing on [[trash]] topics like movies or video games. Their visual counterparts are [[visual tournaments]].

 An '''audio tournament''' is a type of [[side event]], pioneered by [[Jonathan Magin]] in 2011, which is played by listening to a series of [[pyramidally-ordered]] audio clips, rather than by reading a question on the page. (Their visual counterparts are [[visual tournaments]].) In the early years, audio tournaments mostly focused on classical music, titled [[Imaginary Landscapes]] (after the pieces by John Cage). As the format proliferated, it began to include tournaments that focused on video game music, film music popular music, etc.
-Until 2018, all such tournaments were [[housewrite|housewritten]] by teams of a few writers/editors. In 2018, [[Ophir Lifshitz]] created the first of two [[Guerilla Imaginary Landscape|Guerilla Imaginary Landscapes]], in which each round was written by a different author, according to a distribution of their choosing, with no central editing.

 During the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], [[John Lawrence]] (who was one of the writers for the first Imaginary Landscape) invented an asynchronous variant called a '''remote cooperation audio tournament,''' in which individuals play the questions independently, the computer records everyone's typed answers and buzzpoint data, and tossups are awarded accordingly (sometimes by simulating matches between players or teams). The first such tournament was [[MARCATo]] (standing for Musical Arts Remote Cooperation Audio Tournament), written by Lawrence and [[Wonyoung Jang]]. The first few tournaments in this format were run on [[Qblitz]], a platform designed by [[Noah Prince]].
-In 2025, Lawrence created and edited the first [[packet submission|packet-submission]] audio tournament, called [[PSALM]] (standing for Packet-Submission Appraisal of Listening to Music). Each round was based on a submission from an individual or team, according to a fixed distribution set by Lawrence, who then edited and replaced questions as needed.
