righto folks, this is how it works

the first round match ups are up, you must sign in before the due date to acknowledge that you will show, and you must drop your verse before the deadline. failure to check in and/or drop in time will mean you are eliminated. (I dont care how close you are to it, if youre not on it or under it, youre out)

DO NOT DROP your verse until you AND your opponent have checked into the thread.

since the board has been updated most lines tend to spill over, so im not going to make the rule about exceeding line limits and such.....but some action will be taken if someone drops 24 mega-huge "lines" which spill waaaaaay over (24 being the line limit)...so just be aware....if you like to drop huge lines, stay a few lines within the limit.....

there is to be absolutely NO BITING and absoloutly NO RECYCLING of verses in this tournament. IF you bite or recycle you will be eliminated.

Once both verses are in, people will vote on the battle. there will be no dickriding/hate/beef/crew/stupid/etc votes. If you feel that someone has voted against you out of dickriding/hate/beef yada yada, bring it to the attension of Nuke or myself and we will resolve it.

this will be a knock out tornament, which means if you lose a match, youre out completley

So there ya go ladies and gents, i think i covered everything, feel free to ask questions/make suggestions etc

and most importantly, have fun
