SUMMARY:Hullabaloo Slams: Bouts 1 & 2
DESCRIPTION:The preliminary rounds erupt\, with eight teams competing in two simultaneous slams!\nLocation: Alma VanDusen & Peter Kaye rooms (downstairs from the main concourse).\nDoors: 6:00 PM\nStart: 6:30 PM\nEnd: 8:00 PM\nEvery team in Hullabaloo will perform in one bout this evening\, either the first or second slate of prelims. The bout draw\, determining the time for each school’s bout\, will be conducted before the tournament begins.  All teams and audience members are encouraged to attend the entire evening\, especially Bouts 3 & 4 at 8:00 PM (and stick around afterwards for the Underground Indies!)\nThe poems will be judged by five random members of the audience who are not directly affiliated with any of the poets or schools. They will give each poem a score between 0 and 10. We will drop the high and low scores\, and each poem will receive a total score out of 30. Each bout has four rounds (three rounds of solo poems and a group piece round) so the highest possible team score is 120.\nOpen to the general public. All Ages. General seating. Seating cannot be reserved in advance.\nAccessibility info\nThe VPL Central Branch has elevators to reach the downstairs rooms where the Hullabaloo events are being held. There are wheelchair accessible bathrooms. For more details\, refer to their list of facilities.\nThere’s always an attentive audience at Hullabaloo\n
