Scratching/BBOX/Juggle Competition
 Scratching DJs must bring their own needles. MCs & Beatboxers must bring their own XLR or 1/4" mic and related adapters. The judge will be how loud the crowd cheers for you when asked. We're going to get a Db meter for this with an arbitrary neutral judge in case of discrepancy. If anyone has one, pls PM me right away. August 2nd Studio 54. *** FYI - Update Competition will be compressed into one night, August 2nd, All categories will compete on that night. Three categories: 1. Category 1 - Scratchmasters DJs will all be given the same track to scratch to, chosen for them a different one each round. They can opt to scratch over no track if they wish for the same length as that track. Depending on the number of contestants, there may be several rounds. 2. Category 2 - MCs & Rhymers MCs can choose to bust it overtop of a track they choose, or can choose to bust it over no track at all. Maximum length is 5 minutes. 3. Category 3 - Realtime beats Beat Boxers, & Beat Jugglers must go for five minutes to show their stuff. To enter..... email [email protected] asap. 1.

uhh your judging on how loud people yell for the contestant? if so dont you think people entering would bring there friends and be like " yo dawgs , bring a megaphone and your sister and her little freinds and fucken yell when they say my name!!" if that is the case i highly suggest taking a diffrent approch on it. instead of judging by populairty rating how bout technicallity? stage performance etc etc. just my oppinion though.

Manos;
I tried and tried and tried to think of a way that we could have it be judged some quantifiable way so nobody got upset at the end. Unfortunatley, appointed judges will have different tastes and may not like a particular performance because it's too hard or too slow which will affect their opinion. Its a tricky situation because everybody has a musical taste, friends who are affiliated and musucal preferences, lets not even mention "raver politics" stories. Everybody is allowed to "stack the deck" in their favour fairly. Contestants can bring as many 19+ people as they want in for free at 9pm when they arrive to get checked in and have their times assigned. Obviously as many people as the club can hold can come into the place, and many more (club has an average of 300-600 attendance on Friday night in the other side) come every single Friday. Cheer competitions are also a fun way to get the crowd involved, escpecially with alchohol. I can almost feel my voice getting hoarse already. I'm assuming on a fair crowd, since there will be contestants from two categories each night, and its all in good fun. Just because one of my friends is entered doesnt mean I wont scream for someone else that does a bang-up job. Theres no $$ involved so its not like peeps can "split the profits". At anything like this theres a way for people to cheat (ie. keep their mouths shut until only when their friends cheer-meter is being read) the system. But since its all for fun, I doubt that will happen and I think everyone will have a great time. :)

well lets hope for no brawls. It makes me sick to think of 150 ravers duking it out with pokemon dolls, glow sticks, and candy whips. While a picture of it would be priceless, I'm sure the owner of the club would be a bit perplexed and want to know if I was flyering the mental institutions. :D
But crowd participation always roxx, whether its screaming and yelling, dancing, or just contributing to a great vibe. Lets have one helluva frickin party! :)

demystified!
a loudness contest encourages djs to bring people, which would fill up the night. any judging based on technical merits would be silly, since there is no prize and no real title, it's just a gimmick. just explaining how everything works here.

i like how he keeps referring to the crowd as ravers...
ravers don't rhyme, they put E in their mouth and hug ravers don't MC, they hiss and complain when an MC clutters their trance music ravers don't beatbox, juggle, or scratch too much... you're gonna have an ugly crowd if any crowd at all... i've got dibs on 40 can'tbe hardcore surrey homo's i know being there, and they don't believe in friendly competition... i wouldn't call that a "shitload of fun"

OK I'm talking to the sponsors about prizes and there WILL BE PRIZES
I'll be announcing the list of competitors 4 ya guys by Wednesday, because [/i]The Beat Radio Station[/i] is getting involved and will likely rustle up a quite a few contenders to challenge the usual. So far the list of competitors is quite 733T and there are a few *surprises* that will likely come right out of left field. Anyone who hasnt told me they want to compete pls do. Read that *.doc pamphlet above and email, ICQ or PHONE right away. Again you HAVE TO SHOW UP TO CHECK IN AT 9PM ON THE FRIDAY and at this time you can bring in as many people as you want..
