Subject: ABC 2011 (U and V) RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 08/17/11 at 1:17 pm

U and V

- 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

-2 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 two entries for each round make the year end competition

I'm going to suggest a week extension on this one.  Dave got hit pretty hard by the hurricane, I don't know if he'll even been on here before tonight's deadline much less vote.

I'm for the extension as well.

When something like this happened, it can't be helped.

BAD deserves to get some extra time so he can vote.

I just talked to Dave on the phone. He's going to extend this one for a week so 9/7/2011 is the new Deadline

Thank you all, I JUST got power back, and your concerns were correct. . .I not only had lost power, all local outlets that would be able to provide access were pretty well out of commission too.  There are still some houses without power here. . .I apologize, I always hate missing deadlines, but this one truly was out of my control. . .6.5 days with no power, I'm looking forward to my first hot shower in a week (cold ones had me feeling sick). . .my DJ shows were surprisingly packed, I guess everyone wants out of home when there's nothing to do there:)  That or I just got lucky at any rate, I'm glad to be back. .

The power outage also happened while I had work in progress on many things--I lost progress on a parody I was writing, a All Stars recording, homework et al. . .it was just a very ugly week. . .and I need to shave, but I will get to this before the seventh, thank you all again.
