Musical Chairs

Nine people have come together to play a friendly game of Musical Chairs. Each player has brought their own song (insisting on a specific version of it) and chosen their favorite of the 840 starting positions!

While music is playing, each player marches to the beat of their own drum, so to speak, moving around the circle (and possibly passing other players).

When the music stops, each player races for the closest chair to them. If multiple players go for the same chair, the fastest player gets it.

Once all chairs are claimed, the player without a chair is eliminated, one chair is removed, the remaining chairs are evenly respaced (with one always in the northern position), and players return to the position in the outer circle where they ended the previous round.
