Ok everybody here it is finally. I apologize for the delay it is entirely my fault because I have been giving priority to the rest of my life ~ Sorry but it has to be done. Anyway here we go.

This stage of the tournament the brackets have been split into those "Returning In Glory" from stage one and the "Fresh Blood"(who will battle it out amongst themselves) bout to be infused. The one exception to this is jleeavatar_soulflow who has been put into the Fresh Blood category due to an uneven number of people left from the previous stage. Please be aware of where you drop you verses and ensure that it is under the appropriate post. Because the rules became more hassle than they were worth last time I have decided to scrap them but here are the "GUIDELINES":

GUIDELINES

#1
Each verse should be between 16 - 24 lines. You write a novel and I ain't gonna bother reading I can't speak for everyone

#2
The first person listed in Title(i.e "you vs. me" the first person is you) should drop first(but I don't care just drop em) in round 1 and round 3. Round 2 will be started by the second person. If you can't decide between yourselves let me know and we'll do a silly guess the number thang or something

#3
All posts and responses should be up within three days (72hrs) of each other. This means those who drop first your first verses need to be up in three days (72 hours) from now and the replies from opponents should be up within three days from then. This should keep things moving but if anyone cannot meet these requirements for some reason such as only being online on the weekends etc... Speak now (under the section created for comments) and considerations may be made.


VOTING

A separate Voting Thread will be put up after first round is under way. It will not be a Poll. Identify your choice in the subject line of the voting thread.

All of you must vote on each battle (not on a round for round basis only overall) except your own. There will be no voting on your own battles and no round by round votes (although you are welcome to break down how you came up with your overall votes). Failure to vote on a battle will be punished. Also you must include at least one quote from your chosen victor to demonstrate that you have at least looked at the thread. You can choose a draw but must qualify your decision with quotes from both opponents demonstrating their heat or distinct lack off.

Voting will be open to the public as well and I will compile two totals one for just participants votes (the one that really counts) and one for all votes (Peoples choice awards)

FINAL NOTE

This is supposed to be fun so if your too sensitive and get hurt feelings when someone curses at you or insults your mommy you shouldn't have signed up. Racial slurs will not be tolerated even if you are a member of said racial group so if you must please Use a euphemism or special characters like "That PG is a crazy K^&*()R ". Other than that say what you will...

Keep it thorough,

Pappa
