The Rules
The rules for this competition are the same as those in the previous events (and like before, these rules are likely to be broken by nearly everyone). This battle is being fought to see who can bring the crowd to a fevered frenzy. As a combatant, you can only use a laptop or desktop computer. No gear, no turntables, no cd mixers, and no traditional instruments are permitted. You just need to be able to plug into the RCA input jacks on a standard mixer. You may prepare any amount of material ahead of time and use any software you want, although you are encouraged to improvise or create material on the fly. Using material from other artists is grounds for removal (this rule is potentially misleading since you can use samples). Like the previous battles, this is not a Traktor, mashup, or DJ competition: make your own shit. This battle is divided into 3 rounds: the opening round, the semi-final round, and the final round. No matter how many combatants sign-up, everyone who enters gets up to 10 minutes to play in the opening round. There will be 2 tables setup: while the person before you is playing, you can start setting up on the free table. As soon as the person in front of you is done, you’re on the clock. At the end of the opening round, the judges will vote and the top 4 combatants will move on to the semi-final round where they will have another 10 minutes to annihilate their competitors. At the completion of the semi-round, the top 2 move on to the final round and get a final 10 minute shot before one triumphant champion is declared. The winner receives the highly coveted Galactic Ass Dragon Classic trophy and their own 7″ record release on No Room for Talent Records.”
