Subject: Artistry Round 39 (Vertical Horizon) RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 12/18/08 at 11:24 pm

As stated prior to this thread, VOTING is worth points.  If you vote and did not enter this contest, you will get 3 points towards the overall 5 year standings in the Artistry contest.  When you vote as an entrant in this round, you receive 5 points for voting. . .that means no one who votes ends with no points. . . .

Anyway, the rules are pretty similar to other contests.  This is round 39 so please know that ALL rounds will count EQUALLY toward the final standings, and NO rounds will be omitted from the final total.

1. All participants must comment on all entrants and vote by the deadline, which for this rounds is January 1st, 2009.  Failure to vote will forfeit all points from this round, and if that is less than 20 points, the difference will be forfeited in the following round (No Disqualifications)

2. Voting will take place by replying to this thread

3. If a person withdraws from an Artistry Round prior to the end of a round, all entrants who voted for that person's entry will be permitted to pick one new song to earn a bonus point, all other songs will be realigned accordingly.  There will be no penalty on those who don't change their vote.

4. Once a vote is posted, it cannot be changed UNLESS rule 3 applies OR there was a double-vote by accident.

5. Late entries will be accepted until the 1st vote has been posted.

6. The deadline is a strict deadline, the moment the date has reached the day after the deadline, no votes will count, this is to reduce last minute voting, or sympathy/favoritism towards different entrants.

7. We ask that any entrant who posts a link to his/her original song (source of parody) not be DKTOS for the contest.

8. All other basic competition rules as applied in other competitions are generally followed.  The rules may not be changed or altered unless two/thirds of those voting in a round where a rule change is requested agrees.  Rules may be added by host (Below Average Dave) if it was a rule in the ABC or SOTM contest that was thought to be common knowledge, but not known by a particular entrant.

Deadline:
EST (New York) January 1st/2nd at midnight
Central (St. Louis): January 1st at 11pm
Mountain (Denver): January 1st at 10pm
Pacific (Los Angeles): January 1st  at 9pm
Sydney, AUS: January 2nd at 2pm
The UK: January 2nd at 5am

1. Everywhere We Haunt by Matthias
    Everything You Want

2. How Far by The Conqueror of Parodies
    We Are

3. You're a Dog by Agrimorfee
    You're a God

4. Run Away by Rex Ungericht
    You Say

5. Everything He Flaunts by Below Average Dave
    Dave's Recording

** Please note that because this round has 5 contests, entrants should vote 5 points, 4 points, 3 points, 2 points,  the one point will automatically be awarded to the voter like it was the last time we had 5 entrants.  Anyone who votes who isn't required will still receive the 3 points for voting in a round when they weren't obligated to do so, but gets to rank all 5 entrants.

Please note that while the entry deadlnie for "Three Dog Night" has been extended, the voting deadline for "Vertical Horizon" has not only because the Artistry is already behind schedule because of it's pause during my home hunting stint and a few other bumps (which can be expected in a 140 round contest :) )  Happy New Years everyone, just wanted to make sure I let everyone know, that because of the schedule already being behind--this round will not have an extended voting deadline.
