SLAM RULES

• At 6:35pm, slam order will be drawn in the back pool room. Any and all poets who are late or not present during the slam order drawing will be randomly drawn first before the other poets. This will be up to the discretion of the bout manager/host.

• Each poet must perform work for which they are the primary author. No props (Referencing or using ANYTHING that is not available to all poets).

• No costumes (Wearing clothing or accessories that are obviously meant to accentuate a poem or that are worn to enhance a specific performance).

• No musical accompaniment or musical instruments.

• Poets who use props, costumes or musical accompaniment will be disqualified.

• Poets have 3 minutes and a grace period of 10 seconds to perform their poem. Poems that exceed that timeframe will have 0.5 points deducted for every 10 second interval they go over.

• A poet’s time starts as soon as they engage the audience. This includes any introduction or oblivious gesturing that indicated the beginning of the performance. Also note, that if a poet hasn't started to engage or talk within 20 seconds of standing on the stage, a poet's time will start.

• Poets will receive scores (ranging from 0.0 to 10) from five randomly selected judges. The highest and lowest scores will be dropped and the middle three scores will be added together giving the poet a total score of 30.

• There will be one sacrificial poet to calibrate the judges for every round.

• The order that the poets will compete in the first round will be drawn randomly. The order of poets for the 2nd round will be based on the score of the previous round.

• The winner is selected by the cumulative score of the 1st and 2nd rounds.

• Poets should have 3 poems prepared in case of a tie breaker.
