SUMMARY:Union Square Slam presents SIAARA FREEMAN and Open Slam 3.6
DESCRIPTION:  \nWe can’t hardly wait to welcome the unstoppable Siaara Freeman and our *very last* open slam of the season!! This is the last chance to qualify for semifinals and compete for a spot on the team representing Union Square Slam at Nationals this August! (see details below) \n6:00pm: Free Poetry Workshop with Sara Emily Kuntz\n7:00pm: Sign-ups and Socialization\n7:30pm: Open Mic\n8:00pm: Feature\n8:20pm: Poetry Slam \nAll Ages // $5 // Wheelchair Accessible \nPlease note: the Bureau opens at 6 pm on Tuesdays for the Union Square Slam. \nAbout our Feature: \nSiaara Freeman is a friendly neighborhood hope dealer who spends her spare time growing her afro so tall God mistakes it\nfor a microphone and speaks into her. She’s got an unusually large purse full of poems and clapback. Patron Saint of Trill & Lost Causes Who Save Themselves. \nAbout our Slam: \n::Union Square Slam National Team Competition:: \nThere are 3 quarters of competitive poetry slam\, each culminating in a Semifinal. 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
