Subject: ABC (C/D) RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 04/12/10 at 11:28 pm

ABC 2010
(C and D)


Please note that the rule changes I suggested last year all passed, most of them unanimously, and the others by a wide margin, all new rules will be in bold text like this

- Any parody beginning with either of the current letters is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into any previous ABC competition
- You're not allowed to vote for your own parody
- Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it
- Anyone who's participated in any previous ABC contest may vote
- Any entrant who hasn't left a comment on all entries will forfeit all their points for that round


-All letters are to be combined into thirteen rounds (A/B, C/D, E/F etc) and numbers will go by their spelling (IE. "10 Candles" would qualify as a "T" entry being that ten is the spelling of 10).  Symbols will generally be ignored, and go by the remaining spelling instead (IE '**Love' would qualify as an L or '^#% 72' would qualify as an S) eliminating the need for the specialty round at the end of the competition.  In the event that symbols are clearly used to take the place of actual words, the word intended may be used (IE @$$hole can be used in A) and in the event that the name of a song is a symbol, the spelling of said symbol may be used (IE '*' would be asterisk-an A entry)

-3 week entry and voting periods

- 5 points for voting (only applicable to entrants who are required to vote) (also known as the Artistry rule, all those who vote and are in the round will have 5 points added to their score for that round)

-All Scores Count towards your totals for the tournament

-DQ's only dq the current round's score, in other words you will no longer have to sit out the next letter since you will always be forfeiting points when you don't vote (hence the 5 point bonus rule)

-Top entry for each letter (2 per round) makes the year end competition (Exception: if all entries in a given round are of the same letter, or no entry from either letter earned at least one point through voting, the top two overall for the round will be selected for the year end competition)

-No Extensions may be granted due to the length of the new voting periods (if you aren't positive you can vote in the last three days, you should vote early), late entries up until the first vote are at the mercy of whoever is currently hosting the ABC competiton, this is not meant for strictness as much as time, 3 weeks is a lot of time, and extending past that messes up the dates and can cause ABCs to overlap into other contests who may have planned around it to avoid conflicts of deadlines

Yeah, I don't know how you didn't catch that earlier Dave because that would mean Christie entered two songs... Which is impossible.

Well, this isn't the first time I've been mixed up with Christie Marie M. Far from it, as a a matter of fact.  ;D (It's happened quite a bit on AmIRight)

B.A. Dave, if you'd be nice enough to change the author name on "Cisco Wine" back to the correct name (Andria, not Christie Marie M), that'd be much appreciated, and I'd give you karma for it after I hit 100 posts.

BTW, my vote comes later today after I wake up all the way and am 100% functional in the head.  :)

DJ Blaze, I'm replying to your comment on my parody here to make sure you see it. . .there is a reason I provide YouTube links to the parodies. . .following the one to my parody would have answered your question.  . .

Hitchin a Ride is a Green Day song, it is not at all related to Hitch a Ride by Boston, they are two totally different, unrelated songs

Again, this is why I try my best to provide youtube links for all original songs, not just mine, and they are intended to prevent these kind of things. . if you do not use a copy of the original song to compare the parody lyrics against, you cannot fully appreciate a parody's pacing unless you know the song by heart.  I'm not trying to be a dick, but like I said that's what the videos are for and you could not have clicked on it and made the comment that you did on my parody

Sorry, I was just running out of time to vote. I knew most of the OSes, and I know these writers would never make pacing mistakes. I just didn't have time to listen to all the OSes. Sorry again, I've just kind of lost interest in AmIRight for a while.
