Subject: April 2009 SOTM RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Matthias on 05/11/09 at 8:20 am

Note to new participants: Welcome, and good luck. Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by the end of the month. The SOTM is not so much a contest as a feedback exchange. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, either in this thread or via personal message. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

~~Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:
1st choice- 5 points
2nd place- 4 points
3rd place- 3 points
4th place- 2 points
5th place- 1 point.

~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it.

~~Voting continues until the last day of the month ends.

~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.

~~By entering, you are agreeing to read and comment on all the other entries and vote.

~~Anyone who enters but does not both comment on all entries and vote by the end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month, while all points will be forfeited, an entrant who has been disqualified may still participate next month if (s)he goes back and comments on all entrants from the month (s)he got disqualified prior to the end of the entry field (s)he is trying to get involved in.

~~In the event of a tie, the parody with the most first place votes wins.
If it's still tied, the parody with the most second place votes wins. and so on
If the points total and votes are identical, it will be left as a legitimate tie

~~Any entrant whose votes don't show a time stamp prior to midnight on the last day of the month (ie. according to the "inthe00's meantime" clock as it appears BEFORE you log in - not a timezone corrected version) is disqualified, no exceptions.

~~A medal known as the FUCA shall be awarded to the highest ranking parody which did not make the month's podium and is of an original song which has not previously earned any medal

There! I did it! (Please can we get some more people interested in posting this each month, because I'm going to be pretty busy this summer with summer classes and a new job as a lifeguard)

HM to Claude Prez, Jeff Reuben and Mark Scotti

1 Point to Matthias (Great parody, just hated following it to that particular OS, but still GREAT parody)

2 Points to TCOP (I can't believe I'm only giving this one two points, fantastic work Conq, there were a few huge ones this month unfortunately, but still I really enjoyed this one)

3 Points to Arwen (Fabulous Arwen, that's the word, Fabulous)

4 Points to 2nz (Amen to everything this parody said and stood for, very funny too)

5 Points to Invisible Boy (Drop Jaw Sequence initiated, just down right hilarious from start to end)

FINAL SCORES:

1st PLACE: Invisible Boy  with 43  (= 3+5+5+5+5+5+3+2+5+5)
______________________________________________________________

2nd PLACE: Leo Keough with 22  (Tie breaker:2 5s) (= 5+5+4+3+1+3+1)
3rd PLCAE: Arwen with 22  (Tie breaker:1 5) (= 5+4+4+4+3+2)

______________________________________________________________

4th: Below Average Dave with 20 (= 4+4+1+3+3+5)
5th: Mark Scotti with 18 (= 2+4+4+4+4) <<FUCA WINNER
6th: Claude Prez with 14 (= 4+3+5+2)

Bottom Six:
Jeff Reuben 11 (= 1+2+3+2+3)
2nz 8 (= 2+4+1+1)
Matthias 7 (= 1+2+3+1)
Phil: 6 (= 1+3+2)
Peter Andersson 5 (= 2+1+2)
Conquerer 4 (= 1+2+1)

With the exception of IB, who owned house with his excellent title sub and equally excellent parody, everyone was pretty close in terms of points. That says something about the amount of quality work involved in this tourney from April. Congratulations to IB, Leo and Arwen for three well-deserved medals. Great work everyone else as well.

Let me know if my math is off. I'll be able to change it up until the end of the week. After this weekend, I'll be doing another outdoor conservation crew through June and into early July. Some of you may know what I'm talking about already, and here isn't the place, but I'm going to have fun away from a computer for this month, and I hope you all have fun and keep writing. See you all in July.
-Glen

nope, looks right to me. . .Stan has been on the podium, but surprisingly, Michael's mammoth hit "Bad" has not so this month's FUCA winner is. . .

Great stuff, IB - a worthy winner.  Congrats to Leo & Arwen as usual.


Thanks so much to all who supported my little pus pumping angel.

Sounds like a "Broken Down Angel" parody is on the cards?
