----------------------------------------------------------------------------- POST SET TRADITION - Following the sets, as votes are being collected, each team is requested to send a representative (or two) to the stage to give a brief speech on why they deserve to win OR what a win would mean for the team (30 sec-1 min for each team) OR really whatever else you feel like doing. This is your last chance to entertain the audience!
AWARDS - Following a very brief intermission, the Winner will be announced. Each winning team member will receive a 1st place medal, be requested to take a photo for the website, and have the option to return the following week if they have not yet won 3x. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RULES: Each team gets 15 minutes. Blackout will occur when the time runs out OR when you decide to black yourself out!
As is the case with Indie Cage Match, teams must bring at least 3 performers and also at least 50% of the total submitted roster must be present. Teams must also submit to the UCB East Indie Cage Match prior to this show to be eligible for potential advancement.
VOTING Judge #1 - Steve Ling (33%) Judge #2 - Todd Rizley (33%) Judge #3 - Audience Vote* (33%, will also serve as the tie-break)
*Or in another words, if the judges don't both agree on an obvious winner, the Audience will determine the winner.
