contest rules:


1.aspiring contenders will be invited to drop a verse on a given topic (see below for the entry topic ) on the contest board. the entry post must contain the emcee's name/nick and e-mail address.

2.only entries from emcees who are registered in the battle board (see 'battles' link) will be considered.

3.illbattle admin will then choose 8 of the best entries, based not only on lyrical skill, but also on factors such as frequency of posts in the battle board as this indicates reliability and commitment.

4.the successfull candidates will then be drawn into four groups of two emcees each where they will proceed to battle in special, password-protected battle boards prepared by illbattle.

5.the contest will be run on a two-round, three-leg basis.

6.battles will be run simultaneously within the four groups. in the first leg, the first emcee will be allowed to drop a verse, after which the other will be allowed to retaliate, this making the first round. in the second round, the second emcee will be allowed to go first. (illbattle admin will determine the order of first and second emcees).

7.the end of the second round will also bring us to the end of the first leg. after proper tallying of pionts, the contest will enter it's second leg, which will be run in the same way as the first. here, the winner from group a will battle the winner from group c and the winner from group b will battle the winner from group d. the third leg will then follow where the winners from the second leg will face each other in the grand-finale, also on a two-round basis.

8.the winner of this third leg will be crowned the winner of the contest, and his/her name will be preserved in the illbattle hall of flames for all eternity (or if his name has already been entered, he will be promoted accordingly).

9.judging will be done at the end of every round and the results will be posted on the contest main page. this will be done exclusively by members of the illbattle administrative team, and their decision will be final.

10.points/ratings will be given on a 0-10 scale, with 0.1 nominal increments, the lowest score being 0.0 and the highest being 10.0.

11.posts will be judged based on three criteria: lyrical skill/vocabulary, flow, and retaliatory efficiency, where applicable (you get dissed, you diss back!).

12.an emcee will be awarded a walkover victory if his/her opponent fails to post a verse within a reasonable time period, as will be determined by illbattle admin.
