Subject: 2012 ABC Competition A/B Round Entry Thread (Deadline: 2/22/12)

Written By: Blaydeman on 02/01/12 at 6:16 pm

Hello fellow parodists! I would like to formerly welcome back the ABC Competition!!!!!!! I, Blaydeman, will take the reigns from our good friend Below Average Dave, and become the new host of this competition. So without further adieu, LET'S GET IT STARTED!!!!

A/B

Rules/Guidelines
- 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

-3 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 entry for each letter (2 per round) makes the year end competition (Exception: if all entries in a given round are of the same letter, or no entry from either letter earned at least one point through voting, the top two overall for the round will be selected for the year end competition)

-No Extensions may be granted due to the length of the new voting periods (if you aren't positive you can vote in the last three days, you should vote early), late entries up until the first vote are at the mercy of whoever is currently hosting the ABC competition, this is not meant for strictness as much as time, 3 weeks is a lot of time, and extending past that messes up the dates and can cause ABCs to overlap into other contests who may have planned around it to avoid conflicts of deadlines

Thank you. . .I didn't want to see ABC go, but I also couldn't continue doing it.  I think everyone has seen what has happened with regard to my time spent on the site because of school and my new life as a DJ.  Eventually I do plan on coming back full force, but I no longer can host as much as I did, and frankly think its better for the contests to each have a different host, so I'm glad you are doing ABC.  I may enter, luckily I have some time to think about it.  I don't think I ever even got around to posting the results from last year. .  .ah but that's okay--its another example of why I can't do it right now.  Congratulations Blaydeman -- Its good to see a new host take over a contest such as this
