2015/2016 Youth Slam Standings
The latest results following the January 25th youth slam have been updated. The top 8 scoring poets make it into the youth slam finals on March 28th at the WISE Hall. To qualify for the playoffs you MUST SLAM/COMPETE AT LEAST TWICE during the season (July 2015-Feb 2016) and you CANNOT be turning 21 before Sept 1st.
Each month poets between 13-20 years of age get together to compete for points to qualify for those playoffs. Generally we have 12 poets in the first round and the top 5 scoring poets in the 2nd round. Sometimes there are ties and we have more than 5.
The points awarded go like this…16 points for 1st, 9 points for 2nd, 5 points for 3rd, 3 points for 4th and 1 point for 5th or 6th if we had a tie. In the past the top 8 scoring poets make the playoffs. It will probably stay that way for the 2016 playoffs. The top 4 poets make the team. As of right now the 2016 is planning on heading to Toronto in August of 2016 to participate in YouthCanSlam the National Youth Slam Championships. Poets making the team will be required to commit to taking paring in regular rehearsals prior to the August event.
To be eligible to make playoffs you have to slam/compete at least TWICE during the regular youth slam season and you CANNOT be turning 20 years of age BEFORE Sept 1st, 2016.
Included are the top 5 poets from each month and our final totals so far.
