Subject: ABC 2011 (M and N) RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 06/09/11 at 11:20 pm

M and N

- Any parody beginning with either of the current letters is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into any previous ABC competition
- You're not allowed to vote for your own parody
- Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it
- Anyone who's participated in any previous ABC contest may vote
- Any entrant who hasn't left a comment on all entries will forfeit all their points for that round


-All letters are to be combined into thirteen rounds (A/B, C/D, E/F etc) and numbers will go by their spelling (IE. "10 Candles" would qualify as a "T" entry being that ten is the spelling of 10).  Symbols will generally be ignored, and go by the remaining spelling instead (IE '**Love' would qualify as an L or '^#% 72' would qualify as an S) eliminating the need for the specialty round at the end of the competition.  In the event that symbols are clearly used to take the place of actual words, the word intended may be used (IE @$$hole can be used in A) and in the event that the name of a song is a symbol, the spelling of said symbol may be used (IE '*' would be asterisk-an A entry)  Articles do not count toward lettering

-2 week entry and voting periods

- 5 points for voting (only applicable to entrants who are required to vote) (also known as the Artistry rule, all those who vote and are in the round will have 5 points added to their score for that round)

-All Scores Count towards your totals for the tournament

-DQ's only dq the current round's score, in other words you will no longer have to sit out the next letter since you will always be forfeiting points when you don't vote (hence the 5 point bonus rule)

-Top two entries for each round make the year end competition

1. Much Worse Pain by Matthias
   Pain

2. Memorial Day by Mark Scotti
   Beautiful Day

3. Not That Fly for a Sports Guy by The Conqueror of Parodies
   Pretty Fly for a White Guy

4. No Creep by Agrimorfee

5. Nose by Abbott Skelding
   Blow

6. New Forms of Life by Below Average Dave

I had marked this to go through Friday on my calendar, but I see Matty hasn't voted yet either, I didn't want two DQ's, but if you guys don't object I'd like to extend this til Monday to allow the last two people (myself and Matty) to vote. . .there are 7 people here who voted on time--and that means there may be a majority either way, if any of you 7 oppose the extension please say so (if you don't wish to do so publicly you can tell me privately--I will not hold it against you personally, I'm not that kind of person-its a fair position to oppose, I'm just trying to avoid a double DQ this late in the series) I will eat my DQ if that is what is desired by the group. . .here's my placeholder vote in case the majority of voters are not against this and a weekend vote by Matty counting. . .whom I will contact about voting.

HM to Matty

1 Point to The Conqueror of Parodies

2 Points to Blaydeman

3 Points to Abbott

4 Points to Agrimorfee

5 Points to D-Mon

(Modification of original post did not affect point outcome. . .only intro statement was edited due to typos)
