A and B

- 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)  Articles do not count toward lettering

-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 competition, 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

Rule Change Suggestion for Voting

Affects: ABC's Song of the Tournament only

I'd like to propose a rule change that allows the top two songs from each letter combination to enter the Song of the Tournament instead of the winner of each individual letter.  Last year many of the entries that went to the Song of the Year tournament were not on the podium, and as a result really didn't do as well in the Song of the Tournament as songs which did not go could have.  I view it as similar to the underdog being allowed in with a losing record in professional sports because it was in a lighter division. . .if passed, the winner and the 2nd place entry would make it to the tournament.  This will be up for voting in this round when the vote thread is posted

Some people have also asked about the possibility of reducing the voting period to every two weeks, but officially I am not for or against this so I'm not suggesting it, but if someone would like to suggest it please do so

Also, someone who I was talking with about the first suggestion brought up the possibility of bringing in the podium three, like we do for Song of the Month, since we now have just 13 rounds--again I am not really for or against this one, so it is not being suggested at this time, but if someone wants to put it up for vote, let me know and I'll include it in the voting thread.

Uh Ohhhhhhhhhhh!
