besides the 'no crew/hate/dickride/beef/stupid votes' rule,

users must have 25 posts or more to vote

and most importantly, UNEXPLAINED VOTES WILL NOT COUNT.

this means no scorecard votes.

votes MUST refer to the verses to support reasons why you think who won won.

if this causes some confusion about the way you can vote, here's a rough guide:


FLOW:
RHYME SCHEMES:
WORDPLAY:
PUNCHES:

pick a winner for each of these categories and explain why you chose who you did in each category, for example:

FLOW: Person A, because he was consistent throughout his verse wheras i found Person B's lines to be too long in some places and too short in others

feel free to add other categories you wish to comment on (eg. creativity, originality)


and remember, thats just a guide for people who are confused about how to vote, if you have your own voting style feel free to use it, so long as you give some sort of rationale and refer to the verses.

you can type paragraphs, do breakdowns......anything you like as long as it's analytical.
