Official JBB Winter Rap Tournament

[B.e.]

48 Hours should be good.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Air Fresh:</div><div class="quote_post">How long are these going to be anyway? We can't just reply on until everybody does 3 verses, because anything can happen. There should be a time where the battle is closed and the judges just judge on what they have. Even though there is no reason why anybody shouldn't have 3 verses each.</div>
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MrJ:</div><div class="quote_post">I think we should sticky the official rules (bars, verses, etc). We need tp make this clear before the tourney.</div>
OK, good idea MrJ.

So what are the things we have to make clear? Length, Time, Judging, etc. I can't think of anymore.

For length, I think we agreed to be around a 24 line max. It's not going to be enforced too strictly, because it may limit people who think outside the box for a rap. But, the key is to not have any raps that are so long that people won't want to read/judge them.

For time, I was under the assumption that it would be 3 verses each, but AF does bring up a good point that it limits how creative we could be. Any ideas/suggestions?

And, I think we have the judging figured out. NTC, Locke, and authentiq will be judging. Brian said he won't be able to, so right now we have no need for a popular vote. If he returns then I guess we could put the vote as the 5th judge.

When we get a consensus, I'll post it in a seperate thread.

 

[B.e.]

I think 3 verses are fine. But don't want these to take forever. After three verses lock the thread, or lock the thread after 48 hours.

 

[44Thrilla]

Do you need another judge?

 

[Mr. J]

Can we vote for the hell of it? Just to see everyone's opinion and what not?

The more the merrier, I guess.

 

[Chutney]

If 44Thrilla's willing to be a judge, then we will definitely have a popular vote.

 

[Iggy]

I think we need to have 44Thrilla. He's knows alot about hip-hop/rap, and he'll be a great judge.

 

[B.e.]

So Brian you officially lost your job, you can still put your word in for the popular vote though.

 

[Iggy]

We're kicking Brian off the judging team? I thought we were just gonna add Thrilla AND have the popular vote as the deciding.

 

[Really Lost One]

I don't know. I don't really think I'd have enough time to judge as it already is. I mean, if you guys need me, I'll happily take the job, but if there is another option, I suggest you take it. Because my schedual is a bit iffy around Christmas Break. (not to mention I've got to study for my finals next week). I'll still probably be posting around the boards, but I'm not sure if I can actually take the time off to read through each and every battle, while picking each and every line apart........

LOL

Brian should stay, it would be unfair to just kick him off spontaneously cause 44's here.

Edit: Nevermind, just read his post. If that's the case then just replace him with 44 I guess, since he himself isn't sure.

 

[B.e.]

Well I'm not saying lets kick off Brian, but in the reminder PM I recieved Brian wasn't even listed as the judges so I assumed he was just not going to be judge anymore.

Also can we just start this at 12 ET.....I'm ready

 

[Really Lost One]

So who is going to make the battle threads? You guys still want me to do it, or will someone take over?

 

[Iggy]

I think Chutney's making the Battle Threads tomorrow at 11 AM ET. But since AF wants to start A.S.A.P, if Chutney's not around you can make the Battle Threads at midnight E.T. if possible.

I don't know if I'll be on at midnight ET. Although that is only 9:00 pm here on the west coast. I've got some hardcore studying to do for my finals tomorrow

Wow, yall have really been making rhymes, huh? I haven't even started lol. I'll think of something on the train tommorow.

Btw, I like your sig, Iggy.

Sorry if it doesn't pertain to the thread.

 

[B.e.]

Can I just start my own battle? lol

LOL I don't usually pre-write my material, but if I think of something really good on the bus or when I'm bored, I usually write it down.

And yeah.. haha Smitty sent me the pic of Dalembert with a fro, and I thought I'd make it a sig.

 

[Chutney]

Have some patience AF, lol.

Brian, if you're too busy to judge, then its alright. We'll do the four judges and a vote. There's a spot always available if you find the time, though.

Also, since it sounds like you're pretty stressed about your exam, I can start the threads. I have an exam tomorrow, but I've studied enough and it starts late anyways.

 

[bbwSwish]

Let's start these tonight at 12 ET!

 

[Chutney]

Can't dude. Wouldn't be fair to everyone else who thinks it starts on Friday.

Y'all are like little kids on Christmas Eve.

 

[B.e.]

Technically 12 ET is Friday. lol, I get what your saying

 

[Iggy]

Swish, I may not be able to post until tomorrow around 5 E.T. so feel free to start the battle off.

EDIT: Does it matter when we start? I think 12 E.T is close enough to Friday for anyone. People don't have to respond tonight if they dont want to.

Yeah bro, I'm excited. I'm like wetting myself and leaving little puddles around my house like a puppy.

 

[Smitty]

I probably won't be on till around 4:00-4:30pm(ET) as I gotta go one of the farther campuses and re-take a test I had missed..and I'll be up there all morning THEN I gotta wait a long time to get picked up..but I'll be on. Phun can go first if he wants if I take too long to get on.
