League Structure

Five teams, each with eight people. The teams decide on team captains after the rosters have been announced. Captains contribute to league decision-making and select the songs.

If you sign up with friends, please let us know, and we'll place you together. However, you will likely be on a team with new people. It's all part of the game. This league fills up extremely fast, so we want to accommodate as many folks as possible.

Three Rounds of Themed Karaoke - ranked choice voting in between each round

The teams get points based on placement in the rounds.

This is the chiller league (we have a hardcore league on Tuesdays at Parliament), so we expect minimal props and costumes (stuff that can fit in a backpack).

The two teams with the most points after week six face off against each other in the finals.

Review the rules for more info.

Chill Round - Minimal props & costumes, no major set pieces, groups are OK Showstopper - Anything goes, group preferred

Classic League - All rounds are the same number of points and involve minimal to no props and costumes, no set pieces. No requirements for performer numbers per round. Classic League will take place on Mondays at Legionnaire.

Creative League - Two chill rounds and one showstopper (worth more points). Tuesdays at Parliament this fall.

Floater - Someone who isn't rostered to any team but can be brought up to sing with a team when a roster player is out. One floater per team per week. Must be cleared with leadership ahead of time.
