Voting Rules
Verses are due by thursday
The requirement for links is now 5. So vote on 5 battles and edit the links into your check-in. If your links are not edited into your checkin by the time battles are closed, 1 vote is deducted per missing link from the score tally of that battle.
IT IS NOW ALSO A REQUIREMENT TO VOTE ON THE CHAMP MATCH EVERY WEEK.
Everyone here should know what a valid vote entails, those who don't probably shouldn't be here. But if you aren't sure, just read some other votes. Bar by bar breakdowns with a final overview accepted or quote the lines you like with a final overview. Any other extended voting explaining who won and why, will also be accepted given they show knowledge as proof they read both verses and understood them.
You may vote any time up until battles are closed, but this could happen any time after midnight eastern time on Sunday. In other words, get your links in before then, but you may still vote after that time if battles have not yet to be closed.
Also i can not stress enough about the fuck shit voting going on. so if any of you pull that newbie ass FL voting. or the friend voting then ur gon simple as.
Rankings
