Ok, as there is a lot of old, and a lot of new, 16 simply wont be enough this tourney. So I'm thinking we start out looking for 32 members. If say, 25 sign up, then 8 will get a bye to the next round, based on an "out of the hat" draw.

The rules will be as follows. (This is what the discussion is for, btw. If you don't like something, or think it should be different, we change it here.)

Round of 32 :
6 Bars.
3 Votes to win.
5 Days to post verse.

Round of 16
8 Bars
3 Votes to win.
5 Days to post verse.

Round of 8
10 Bars
3 Votes to win.
5 Days to post verse.

Round of 4
12 Bars
4 votes to win
7 Days to post verse.

Final Round
16 Bars
5 Votes to win. No KO.
10 Days to post verse.

Also, would you like this done as a random draw each round, or a tree, like a tennis tournament.







I'm so fucking intelligent, half the time I don't even know what I'm saying...

Nah Sass, I mean, in like Tennis tournaments or any kinda of competition that has the tree things they're organize by seedings. For instance you won't have the 2 top seeds on the same side, one will be on the left, the other will be on the right sort of thing. I'm sure Nep knows what I mean and im not actually suggesting we do seeding it's just that's how that system usually works.

The only problem with seedings is it's just another reason for people to complain lol

They can complain.. It's easy enough to work out really (technically it's what the rankings are for) - THOUGH we can take activeness into account ect.

Agree with that. I forsee less complications with a random draw imo.

But what im sayin is....its gonna be Pre-Written anyway if you Gotta Week to Write it
so why not know who you might be Against and be able to get a Verse Ready....that'll only make for tha Better Verse...and they will be able to Drop Quicker=Votes will come Faster

5 day and week time limits are too long IMO

means the tourney wont be over for a month odd depending on how many participants.

i'd suggest lowering the limit to 2/3 days...

3 day max seems fair. Maybe a little longer in the final stages.
