Concerning Trend I've Noticed

It depends if you actually do miss the rhymes though. Simple battles tend to be easy to follow with no caps. If you completely follow it but its not capped, its not an issue.

I get that, but I'm still gonna hold the same standards format wise, because newer and less elevated mcs dont usually drop a 16, or 32 regularly....I grade the same across the board. Everybody gets the same scale...and i do believe non cappin can throw off the flow and hide emphasized syllables.

This becomes even more relevant when you get to the multies like "disGUISE THE BOSS = LIGHTS ACROSS"....just for an example.

I don't think you can remove points for formatting if it didnt effect the flow, rhyming or punches. Format is just a means to make those work.

But you can if you thought the format does affect the flow...in which I believe it does. Because format and flow are synonymous.

If definitely does, but if in one instance a format such as capped multis didnt have an effect, such as a fairly straightforward simple verse, I don't think you need to deduct marks

Main issue is: it's become somewhat of the 'normal practice' (for some) that if they see a drop that isn't capped, they won't even bother reading it and will just automatically vote the other way due to presuming the non capped drop is basic bars.

Fact is, ya'll mad in the fucking head. If it flows, rhymes and hits. Score it...

as far as capped rhymes go, if the writer does not cap his/her multis and make it easier for the voters to vote on the battle whilst also giving due respect the time a voter takes to read shit is quite frankly not worth my time. and even if i vote i will deduct a few points for not sticking to the standard even if they are minimal or not vote in the battle at all if i ain't in the mood to stress my eyes at all. capped rhymes has made letsbeef what it is esp since it follows the box filling routine instead of the line by line one.

I think there's plenty of instances where I'm completely fine readin an uncapped verse and it has no bearing at all on my vote.

However if it does have an effect its usually down to the flow which is a big part of how much damage a punch does for me. It can effect the outcome for sure.

I don't see it as disrespect to the voter either. You'll never see me write or read an expo for example.

i think talking about flow in texts esp (in the letsbeef format) is basically like debating wether half the freestyles in the audio section are freestyles or not. you may never know who is legit dope or legit pre writing in it and all u did have would be just an idea or a guess which may or may not always be true or justified different folks flow in different ways. only solution would be how well spaced the rhymes are other than that all i expect out of a text verse is majorly punchlines and flips coz thats what they really are meant to deliver and should be judged on too.

This is why you shouldn't be voting
