20 slots, three rounds:
First round - 20
Second round - Top 4
Third round - Top 2
Strict Guidelines: 3-minute/one-poem limit each turn (plus a ten-second grace period; if the poet goes over time, points will be deducted from the total score), must be original work, must be a different piece each round (so MAKE SURE you bring THREE pieces).
Of the scores the person receives from five judges, the high and low scores will be dropped and the middle three get added together, giving the person a total score of 0-30. The highest scores in each round advance.
