For all poets slamming at the Writers’ Block in 2011 - New Rule

[scottwoods]

The WB crew is pleased to announce a new rule that will affect all of our slam seasons moving forward: no poem may be repeated in any competitive slam in that calendar year.

This means that a poem you slam with to try to get on the NPS team in January 2011 - April 2011 remains ineligible for use in a qualifying or grand slam for iWPS 2011 or WOWps

Good rule.

P.P.S.) The violators of this rule will receive -2 points attached to their final score or, at least, will end up in hell.

was my question.

Are you relying on the collective memory of the room?

We will have poets list and sign-off on poems each slam.
It's all honor system, so we won't go digging unless it sounds familiar.
If it turns out you repeated a poem, that poem's score gets totally disqualified (you lose).

That is great. Anxious to see how that turns out. Duncan shields from Vancouver here. :)
