-Teams can send up performances from individual poets or multiple poets as a group. Group pieces and indie poems are scored the same.
-poems are scored by 5 judges on a scale of 0.0 to 10.0. the highest and lowest scores are dropped. The three remaining score are totaled giving a poet their score for that round. the highest score a poem can receive is a 30.
-poets get the maximum amount of 3 minutes and 10 seconds to perform. After that time ( 3:11 and on) poets get .5 deducted for every 10 seconds they go over.
-no props are allowed onstage. poets cannot gesture to clothing or personal items. poets may read from a page or device but do not make reference to the page or device because it will be considered a prop. violation of the prop rule will result in a 2 point deduction.
