The Final RoundIs going to be an EP round.
1. Maximum of 35 minutes, but I would hiiiighly recommend not going very far above 30. Consider 30 a soft limit and 35 a hard one.
2. Up to 20 points will be given out as an overall measure of song quality. Each song will be scored out of 10. The total score will be a sum of song score divided by relative length; a 10-minute 10-point song in a 30 minute EP would be worth 6.6 points, but a 1-minute 10-point song in a 30 minute Ep would only be worth .66 points.
3. Up to 10 points will be given out as a measure of cohesion and flow. This is where I expect people to trip up the most. The songs don't have to be from the same artist, but they should sound like they belong together. As well, song order is important. Don't put a closer at the start of an EP, for example. I'm aware some songs will have endings that don't segue into other songs well and I won't take that into consideration, but if you find a really cool segue, I'd highly recommend putting those two back to back.
4. 15 minutes max per artist. Any artist on the semi-banned or eligible for re-entry list can be entered in the EP round without the wager attached to it, but anything on the banned or newly banned list is ineligible. The cap on a single song length will be 15 minutes flat, as a result. Again, I highly recommend not putting anything longer than 10 minutes on an EP, though; having one song dominate the entire thing is a big risk itself.
5. Please send EPs as a .zip file of mp3's in the order you want me to listen to them, preferably numbered.
A slight spoiler: Elite 100% needs to start preparing an EP. Everyone else in the top 6 should probably start thinking about what they'd want to send me, too. I will try to have the top three finalized by the time I post round 10 results.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask them, also. Wanna try to make this as easy for everyone as possible
