Everyone did a great job in the last round. The votes came in fast, the voters were diligent and the judges shared a lot of insight through their feedback. If you only earned 1 or zero points in the last round, you're not out of the contest yet. You can still accumulate points throughout Round 2 and Round 3 and earn yourself a spot in the FVC roster. In this round, you will be paired with a different opponent that is chosen by an online randomizer. You will receive 1 point for every judge vote you get. A no-show will earn you 0 points. If one person no-shows and his opponent votes, the one who votes will be awarded all 3 points. After all 3 rounds, the top 10 text voters who have accumulated the most points will be the ones inducted into the Fair Voter's Club. The maximum points a voter may amass is 9. For any voter who amasses 7 or more points, you will be awarded one large emcee item, or 2 medium items, or 3 small emcee items of your choice.
The two remaining rounds will open on these specific days:
ROUND 2: July 28th
ROUND 3: July 30th
For each voter, consider your round closed when the battle you are assigned has closed. The judges will cast their votes on who won between each pair after both have voted and the assigned battle has closed. The points will be tallied later and updated once the judges have spoken.
Either left or right may vote first, however, both contestants must vote before the battle closes, otherwise you will earn 0 points. You will be assigned battles that open on the same day as the round to give you the maximum time to vote (up to 3 days).
Battles close after all 3 judges have dropped their analyses, and they will do so in this thread after both people in the pair have voted and the assigned battle has closed. Judges are encouraged to give an explanation behind their decisions, but if they don't, you may ask them privately. If one judge no-shows, I may step in as a replacement judge or find another mod to judge the votes, especially in cases where a voter and a judge are in the same crew. [PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:] You may use more than one comment to drop your vote, but if you do, they must be successive (one right after the other) and I will use the timestamp to validate "successiveness". You shouldn't drop a comment then come back hours later after your opponent or someone else has dropped their feedback to come include something you priorly forgot in your expo. That will get you disqualified. Also, DO NOT refer to your opponent or anything your opponent has said in his expo in your own. If you cannot vote on your assigned battle for whatever reason, (the person has you blocked or is a member of the same crew as your multi account, etc) let me know ASAP and I will try to assign you another battle. I wish you all Good luck!
