SLAM RULES
1. Poetry must be your own original work
2. No singing or props.
3. There will be two rounds. The poets will draw numbers from a hat and perform in that order. In the second round the order will be reversed.
4.Poets have 3 minutes to read/perform their poetry. The clock starts starts from the very first thing you say - including hello.
Points will be deducted for over-running as follows:
1-9 seconds minus 1 point
10-19 seconds minus 2 points.
20-29 seconds minus 3 points
30 seconds minus 4 points, host will stop you, you’ll be judged on your incomplete poem.
5. The poets will be scored out of 10 in two categories. Written content & quality of performance. The highest total score over both rounds goes through to the final and wins £20. In the event of a tie there will be a final sudden death round.
6. If you don't get through you can compete in any of the other heats. BUT you cannot perform the same poems in two consecutive heats.
7. Judges’ decisions are final. Please remember the slam motto: "The points are not the point, the poetry is the point".
