Each quarter consists of six open slams (one or more of which is a New Shit slam — competition in New Shit slams counts towards your total points!) \nEach open slam will : \n– consist of up to 8 poet competitors \n– have a 3 min time limit for each round with a 10-second grace period \n– will go from 8 in the first round to 5 in the second round and 3 in the third round (this is subject to change depending on the number of competitors that night — see below) \n– be scored cumulatively — the winner of the night will have the highest cumulative score from all three rounds. \nAt the end of each quarter\, the poets with the 8 highest cumulative scores FOR THE QUARTER\, are invited to compete in Semifinals. If a qualified poet opts out\, then the next highest ranking poet qualifies. Semifinals are run using the same rules as the Open Slams. The top two highest ranked poets in each Semifinals bout will advance to Finals Stage\, along with the top two winners of the Last Chance slam. \nLast Chance Slam will be INVITATIONAL only to include the top 8 poets who have the highest cumulative scores over the entire season/all three quarters\, but who didn’t not otherwise qualify for FINALS. \n  \n  \n
