Welcome to 2023's One Bar Championship. You both have three days to wrire and submit your One Bar. Your One Bar must not exceed 220 characters. If it does, you will be DQ'ed. 

Best of luck gentlemen. 

Props to both. My winners piece was executed cleaner. 

Not the best bar from either but one had a clearer set up and better end punch. Fair vote in. 

ok one bar easier to call, to be honest MD you should of went with a punchline/ nameflip combo to give'm that two in one deal in which you cant go wrong with. Which gives LH the advantage to edge it.. MD that bull doze line was hard as a closer so was LH's just as hard except he made it more personal by throwing your name in it if that makes sense. when all the smoke clears MAY THE BEST BAR WIN! 

punch for punch GL to you both.

both came legit as fuck.  i felt one had better set up that transitioned smoothly into the hard hitting punch.  Dean gets my fair.  No hate, just respect  

Good first round spar. Got my winner based on a stronger punch and set up. Good luck to both. 

Felt ones had the better sting but nice ideas from both it came down to the execution n impact imo 

Ok gents, lets take a look - Dean flow a lil choppy on that 2nd multi set. Concept a bit simple for the final punch imo. Locky - Pretty basic by your standards but smooth enough flow and nice punch on the end. I got Locky winning this one, Dean try to make sure you are being super fresh conceptually when using nameplay, and just watch the flow on longer multi sets. 1/

Wasn't feeling MonsterDean's bar at all. The connections between the setup and punchline were visible, but the way it was all put together did not make sense. What is a turn bull? Lock, not exactly your greatest bar here but it was pretty good. Dean's List was an okay setup punch and then the Monster outta pocket punch was solid. I liked how you riffed on both parts of his name (Monster and Dean). My only complaint about the bar is that "SILVER & GOLD" comes off slightly unnaturally since most people would say Gold and Silver instead. Clear win for Lock overall. Fair's in.

Fire back and forth Multis personals and all I think ones mulits and punch edged this slightly though. Having you both go on the first round I knew it would be a fight. FVNH. 

Wasn't really feeling the turn bull(dozer) punch and it didn't seem very well set up either.

Lock had a nice setup "admission on hold" and okay punch.

Dean: Multi's were impressive on their own but your choice to attack AC's instead of him wasn't the only issue here, wording made the flow really hard to follow, opener didn't really hit imo closer was better but didn't quite land, didn't sound natural enough to land as a punch.

Locky: Pokémon bars FTW seriously though, not the strongest punch, 2 good jabs incorporating his name, definitely enough for the W here, props

MonsterDean's bar I had to read a few times just to understand the concept. Actually not a bad bar at all. Nice multi's. Hits pretty hard, however, I feel the way it was conceptualized wasn't satisfactory enough to score the W here.

Lockhart's bar, albeit rather nerdy, came in with a cleaner concept, a better setup, overall straightforwardness accompanied by his clever creativity which made it all land the smoother punch. Dominant bar takes the win. This is obviously his light-work.

Ait so firstly ones multi's was a bit off wording wise which messed up the flow for me. The concept was also a not executed properly to ensure it hit. Try to go for more clean cut punches and metaphors. 

The other was more smooth here. Punch was nice, and it hit being that the multis and wording was smooth. The first jab could have been incorporated to relate to the ending punch but thats about the only thing I can say here very solid punch. 

Got a winner here. FV is in

Props to Dean for the 6 syllable multis, tought to pull off cleanly but I felt you did it nicely here. The punch was alright, wasn't as hard hitting as I was hoping for. Lockhart came with a steady concept and topped it off with a nice name flip and solid punch. I'm giving this one to Lockhart, good battle though.

Felt Monster had massive wording issues. Plus the first bar didn't connect slightly with the Bulldozer at all . Given the heavy vehicle shudnt have kept on with first line Mayb ending up using Nameflips at the end. Lock kept it smooth and ended up with a decent punch
