    He's not going to say, "Nah, he was sick and I'm gonna lose." Of course he has to have some confidence.

    ^^ I guess.

    I can't wait for the tournament now. I wanna see how all the new people turn out, and I can't wait to battle. Swish, your lucky they changed the bracket or it would have been a first round knockout for you! LOL [​IMG]

    I know it was a mistake, but seeing Chutney and the ranking # 6 next to his name literally had me like [​IMG]

    There was no way Chutney should have been ranked lower then 2nd, and Smitty is ranked too low (7th) for a guy who made it to the Semis.

    But whatever, the battles are going to be good either way.

    Also, I know we've decided 16 bars as the max but I do my bars like this:

    The cat in the hat had a bat
    So he spat and sat back and laughed//

    So in total, my verses are liable to having 32 bars max. I know Iggy and AF said ok to what I said before, but is this okay with everyone else? Each one of my verses isn't going to be 32 bars obviously...I usually just round out my verse - i.e - if it looks too long/crowded, I edit some lines out because it's obvious the voters aren't gonna read the whole thing and just skim through it.

    So 32 LINES max, and 16 bars max...bars can be split into 2, but you can do it either way you want. Minimum has to be atleast 8 bars.

    Wait, since we have 4 judges (I believe), what happens in the case of a tie breaker? Popular vote? Or do the judges rediscuss the battle and revote?

    Edit: Sorry for the double post..I'm too lazy to go back and edit at this point and time.

    First of all, that is straight up fire.

    If Brian's available at the time, a popular vote will be the tiebreaker. If/when he's not, we'll just use 3 judges.

    What's a bar?

    A bar is equivalent to two lines. So how most people keystyle they have a line then the second line rhymes with the first, then both those lines combine to make a bar. Thats why the maximum is 32 lines, or 16 bars which is the equivalent. Junoon/Karma's lines with the cat with the bat would be a bar.

    Yeah that can't be right, 16 bars is 16 lines I'm pretty sure.

    According to Jay Z (credible source, a bar is a line)
    "For all you other cats throwing shots at jigga//
    You only get HALF a bar, f**k yall ni**as//
