**NOBLE** · #1 02-26-2012, 12:51 AM

Welcome to LetsBeef.com's first Video Battle Tournament. Here are the brackets and the rules.

The Winner will be the first person to bear the Title of "Video Battle Champion" and will receive 3 emcee items. The winner and everyone else who makes it to the semi-finals will also receive an emcee item and a FREE 3-MONTH EXCLUSIVE MEMBERSHIP.

Rules

Round 1: 90 seconds or less

Participants shall record themselves spitting theirs verses on camera. It can be with any kind of camera, but keep in mind that the quality of the overall recording will factor into people's judgements. The person sending in each battle will determine whether it is over a beat or acapella. If someone sends to you on a beat, you MUST respond on a beat or face disqualification. Likewise, if someone sends to you spitting acapella, you MUST respond with acapella or face disqualification. There will be a full week between rounds. Verses are written (unless you prefer to freestyle).
Contestants will upload their submission on their YouTube channels, then drop the links into a text battle. This way, LB can vote on it. Winners will be determined by LB voting results, not YouTube comments. If you do not have a YouTube channel and don't want to sign up for one for whatever reason, you can send me the clip and I will upload it on your behalf. There will be absolutely no replacements for no-shows in this first round. In subsequent rounds, replacements will be determined by a points-based wildcard system (explained below). Deadline to send is by 12:00 AM Eastern Time on March 5th. Deadline to respond is by 12:00 Eastern Time on March 8th.
Left sends to right. Once you've sent, paste the link here or alert me by private message.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The time limits do not include whatever intros or graphical depictions you would like to include in your submission. It only restricts the actual time you spend on your verse.
All participants are encouraged to vote on every battle in this tourney. There will be absolutely no outside replacements if someone no-shows in this tournament. If you posted and your opponent doesn't post, you'll automatically advance to the next round and I will still post and promote your submission on the LB YouTube channel (unless you don't want that).

WildCard System

For every battle you win, you will be awarded 5 points
For every vote you cast on another battle from this tournament, you will be awarded 3 points
For every submission you post before its deadline, you will be awarded 2 points
If you advance to the next round simply because the person who was supposed to send to you did not submit (no-shows) you shall be awarded no submission points unless you submit your verse anyways and send to them within the 3 days after they've missed their deadline.
Wildcard replacements in subsequent rounds will be determined by who has amassed the most points out of those who have been eliminated. Also, I will post and update each participant's points here.
