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 74 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 June 13th, 2010.  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.

Note due to low entrants, vote 5 points, 4 points, 3 points, 2 points this round, unless you are not one of the five entrants, then you get to rank all five.  All voters who are not required to vote will get 4 points instead of 3 for voting when not required, those in the round get 6 bonus points instead of 5

The official deadline for this round was meant to be the 14th, not the 13th, I have to take a test, but I've already read/commented each parody so here are my votes just to show they aren't being delayed for me. . .keep in mind the results are not official until the 14th though, same for the next entry thread.

1 Point to well no one because Lynyrd was apparently to hard I don't know

2 Points to Matty (It wasn't bad, but this was a tough round, and it didn't grab me like your recent SOTM or ABC entries have)

3 Points to Agrimorfee (I liked it, didn't go over the top on the funny, but expertly written)

4 Points to The Conqueror of Parodies (Something about this one just made me laugh, it was really well done, and while I can't speak for anyone else, I thought it was a unique parody among your collection)

5 Points to Rex (Just awesome, what else can I say)
