VOTES DUE Sunday: 12:00am PACIFIC/1:00 Midnight EST
Votes posted after the deadline will not count!

• Check-in (Posting in your match to show that you are aware the match exists) is encouraged but not required.
  
• Verses must incorporate at least one of the provided topics and must be at least 16 lines and must not exceed 64 lines.
  
• Anyone who does not post at least 4 rap lines, incorporating at least one of the provided topics, is considered a no-show.
  
• During check-in, you can ask your opponent to agree to a line limit (Minimum 16) and if your opponent agrees, Moderators will hold both participants to that limit.
  
• Posting between 4-15 lines is considered a “show” but will not result in a match. If you post 4-15 lines, and your opponent posts between 16-64, you will lose the match but you will remain in the league. If you post 4-15 lines, and your opponent does not show, you will “Win by no-show”.

Voting:

• If you do not show you can’t vote. This is a league of writers. The right is reserved for the people who are actually writing. If you’re not writing, then you have no business voting at all unless you’re an ex champ. This will allow people to just sign up with their alias, not post a verse and vote in their own match. That’s too fuckin fraudulent for me to allow. No verse posted, no voting privileges.
  
• Votes must be hidden! To hide a vote, first thing you type in your reply is a bracket “[“, the word “hide” and end bracket “]”. The last thing you type in your reply is a bracket “[“, a backslash “/”, the word “hide” and end bracket “]”. Unhidden votes will not count towards the match or towards your vote requirements.
  
• Votes must dedicate at least 2 lines of break down for each verse. This means your sentence(s) must reach the end of the screen and wrap around twice, even if only one word is on the third line.
  
• No second chance votes! You are not allowed to edit your votes, but if there is a problem with your computer like there often is with mine and your vote doesn’t post, then explain what happened in your reason for editing. If done within a reasonable time from your original post, exceptions can be made.
  
• No bias votes! If you have a personal investment in wanting someone to lose, whether because that member voted against you once, or you just don’t like that person, whatever the reason, do not vote in the match. If have a personal investment in wanting someone to win, whether because they’re crew member, or because you want to face that person in the next week’s brackets, whatever the reason, do not vote in the match.
  
• ”Bias” must be confirmed by a Moderator.
  
• If there is a match which you will not be able to vote on, due to “Bias” of any type, state so within your match prior to Verses Due Deadline. If this reduces the number of matches available for you to vote on to the point where you are unable to vote on at least 4 matches, the point scale will be adjusted according to how many matches you do vote on.
  
• 3-ways are inevitable. In order to provide a tie-breaker in a 3-way, you are now required to indicate in what order the contestants finished (1st, 2nd, 3rd).
  anyone who does not show or vote is suspended one week and must sign-in again to be inserted the following week.
