This is the first ever LetsBeef Poetic Justice Tournament.
What is the Poetic Justice Tournament?
Each round there will be a different form of poetry picked. Each contestant must do that type of poetry. Example: Everyone must do an allegory for the first round. Everyone must do a Haiku for the second round. There will also be a set topic for each battle that the contestants must do their poem on. I will assign all topics, except for my own battles to avoid any unfair advantage.
Where will these battles take place?
Each battle will be in the cypher section. One member will send a private cypher to their opponent. The other opponent will post their verse in that private cypher that was sent to them. They will be in the cypher section for voting reasons.
What are these voting reasons?
Since not many people here will no much about poetry, there will be an assigned panel to do the voting. It will be a 5 man panel responsible for voting on all battles. This panel will not be allowed to participate in the tournament for fairness reasons. This way people who don't know about poetry or whatever can't effect voting. The voting panel will vote fairly and since it's in the cypher section, we won't have to worry about the panel being in the same crew as a participant and not being able to vote. The person with the majority, 3 out of 5, votes wins and advances to the next round. Also, if one participant goes up 3 to 0 in the votes, they get the KO win. And if one judge is missing for some reason or is inactive, I will vote for them. Unless it is my own battle.
What if I don't know much about poetry forms?
Each round I will explain what each form of poetry is, and drop an example. The rules and regulations will be clearly explained to all participants and the voting panel.
Are there any prizes?
There will be NO user title. Unless a mod decides to allow one for some reason. Lol. But I will try to get 3 emcee items for first place. And one for second place. Something along those lines. Maybe a GFX Head will be willing to make a sig or something?
