I agree with the topic idea. Will keep shit on equal ground and challenge people's writing skills and imaginations.

I'll help set up the stuff, but damn you're gonna have to give me a little bit an deadlines. I still need to write my CoE drop because I've been doing other things and ironing all that shit out.

CoE ends Friday. What sort of timeline are we looking at? A week to signup, a day to set brackets, post a topic, and a week to drop?

Word, we're gonna have to determine if the topics should be picked or if we are gonna let each person pick their own,
the thing thats diff about spoken word is that its from the heart, and i think we would be taking away from the essence of spoken word...

matter fact we should let peeps pick their own topics, the format that is used in regular spoken word contests is that way, plus it would be different than the usual LB format...

But yeah the deadlines you set are perfect, we have a couple other tourneys poppin off right now like the video one, and the old school vs new school, i think this should pop off after that ....

@Erupt. I'd be down to try to get a dry run battle against you in this this weekend. We both have let's say 2-3 minutes, any topic we want, make a video slideshow, upload it to YouTube, & post it in the same thread on here?

Give the people an example of what it is. You down?

Alright.

Open topic.
Cam/slideshow
roughly 3-4 minute limit?
signups till the first, day for brackets, submissions in by September 8th.

Just repeat till we have a winner?

We still have to figure voting, sending and shit. I suppose the drop links in battle box works.

Sending can be worked out with brackets. ( which @Erupt can help do since this is his idea)

going to throw something together on this.

Dono has a bunch of Spokens for examples. but getting a few out before the touney might be nice to see.

I mean like an example of how the battle would be conducted. & I think a link in a text box would be better than a thread too. @Teek

I Co-Sign with @Teek ^ I think it will help kick it off with just Audio first. It requires a strong use of charisma in just audio. Using the power of just your voice to move the audience. As for Topics, there could be two separate arenas for that. Like a "Free Verse" type ish and a Topic one. The free verse we can just, see who puts out the deeper piece of work, the Judging could be based off Vocab, how universal it is, Charisma, Delivery, stuff like that.

btw, what are we calling this? I was gonna do a basic logo banner for the thread. That can wait a bit, just trying to piece things together in my head.

@StrongSide 2 arenas would be dope, but I think for an initial run and to simplify things, going with a free verse drop is best. If this picks up, it'd be nice to start though.
