Subject: ABC 2011 (S and T) RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 08/02/11 at 3:07 pm

S and T

- 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

Dave,  some of the points look off.  Unfortunately I think it affects the podium.  It looks like some were counted in the votes in reverse order (5-4-3-2-1 instead of 1-2-3-4-5):

Jeff Reuben: 33 + 5 = 38 (1+2+4+5+5+3+5+3+5)
Matthias:  27 + 5 = 32 (3+5+3+4+5+3+3+1)
Synchronos:  13 + 5 = 18 (4+1+2+1+5)
Agrimorfee:  9 + 5 = 14 (1+4+2+2)


1st Below Average Dave with 35 Points

2nd Jeff Reuben with 34 Points

3rd Matthias with 30 Points

4th Blaydeman with 23 Points

5th Syncronos with 22 Points

6th Agrimorfee with 16 Points

7th Mark Scotti with 14 Points

8th The Conqueror of Parodies with 13 Points

9th D-Mon with 8 Points

10th Abbott Skelding with 5 Points

Thank you, yeah, one vote was counted backwards, which explains why the point totals sum to the same, but it switched around a 2 point and 3 point difference
