Poetry tournament; A new format (NEVER free form) each week (haiku, Sonnet, Acrostic etc.)

Short Story Tournament. 500 words max. Don't know if it'll get any popularity, but I'd join it.

16 man pinkslip tournament. As if there's not enough bullshit pinkslip matches being thrown around to begin with that kills activity we should definitely get this shit going.

An eight man audio tourney. Its like the topical version of the audio battle tourney we had. Words at war or something.


This one would have a set instrumental for each battle and the goal is for each participant to write and rap a better verse than their opponent. I dont know what to call it. Im not good at names

Also we can try just open tourney (going back to my audio tourney idea) where everyone gets the same instrumental but the only the top 2 versses or something get points, and this goes on until those with the most points have a final match

I was kind of looking forward to that UW... But you seen a lot of newcomers sign up. Maybe you should have a newcomer tourney (first 16 to register) and do that. I'm sure you would get people if sign up wasn't days long/weeks. Votes would have to give advice so we can see what we need to work on.

Celebrity Battle Tournament. Everyone is assigned a celebrity. You're battling the celebrity your opponent was assigned while playing the role of the celebrity you were assigned.

Certain

Swag and Flow Challenge tournament. This idea follows the writing challenge league's construct. Every verse is swag and flow, nothing more, except that there's a twist. Maybe it's a theme you have to construct your swag and flow around (superheroes or NBA players) or maybe it's a set of words or letters that need to be incorporated.

Meth

Word at the last 2. The celebrity one is basically an alias tourney. Just a specific edition like alias 3 was.

I wouldn't mind running a small newb tourney tbh.

I don't know what you mean by that. But the key would be picking really divisive celebrities, like Richard Simmons and Paris Hilton and Courtney Love. I think that could spark some real creativity out of the battlers, unlike most of the shit I see now.

My final case for an audio tourney

1. Its the one thing Im kinda good at
2. I would run the shit. Id do a fuckin stellar job and obama himself would mod me in life, conversely pickin up the traffic around here
3. If it doesnt do good, then we can kill it and or not gibe away an accomp.
4. Please
5. People appeal more to writing a flex verse than a battle verse when it comes to audio, meaning we'd get every audio heads interest at the least

Keep these things in mind. If executed it may be a bit sad and small compared to what you've seen, but oh well. You lose.

Meth

If u can gather 16 people who have previously done an audio and who can link us to the audio that would be down to do it I will get behind u.

Maybe.

I'm saying there's a chance.

It's happening right now, but RapMusic is a ghost town otherwise. I never much cared for that site beyond a few brief stints in the RSTL and listening to those elite audio tournaments, anyway.

No audio.

Should do a small BA tag tourney so those belts can be filled.

A legit pic tourney hasn't been done since I've been here.

But I agree it should be after playoffs, element, and SC. Maybe before Fall Brawl.

Flow
08-05-2013, 09:49 AM
for the newbs you should have a mentor tag tourney knock out competition.

One junior with one senior.
The senior can help instruct on the juniors drop.

Have 8 tags and start of small with first come first serve basis and see how it goes.
It would only need 3 rounds

and I would have a runners up for the two semi finalists who didn't get through.

Only the seniors would be allowed to vote on the battles as this would be another way of helping improve the juniors.

If the tourney went well might be worth considering as a league in the future.

So if u want tag, vote on the NBL playoffs to move it along.

I mentioned this a while ago on here and it seemed like a lot of people were interested

a Regional Tournament or League

people represent and battle for the place the are from. Northeast, Southeast, West Coast, Mid West, Europe, Australia, Canada

you could make teams and have battles in reg text, topical, swag and flow each round/week . kinda like text Olympics. whoever has the most wins at the end is the best region on the site.

My idea for that tournament/event is pretty much a near impossible task.

The amount of work I'd have to put in would be relentless & brutal as fuck.

& that would be the ONLY way to make it truly work & be a real success, is if I gave it 110% at all times, & devote all of my online time to it.

Still thinking about it tho.

Tag tourney would be cool but so would a Royal Rumble Tourney. Every week 4 battlers get in the ring and duke it out. The two people with the weakest verses get ousted then the next two join in. But you could have two royal rumbles going at the same time so if you get ousted from one you could join in another. idk.. that's my initial thought, will be developed.
