Van Slam 2014 Winter Season 2014-15 (November 17th 2014)

So! A new qualifying season is underway to determine which 5 poets will have a chance to become the next Vancouver Poetry Slam Team.
It’s crucial to understand the points system. You can read about how it works for qualifying for Team Playoffs here:

And about how it works for qualifying for WOWPS Playoffs here:

The points system should become clear very quickly as the season progresses and we start posting results. With that in mind, here are the results from this week’s slam.
After the poet’s name is the order that they performed in the first round, then their first round score. After that is the position they performed in the second round (if they made the cut) and their second round score, followed by their total score for the evening.

17th November 2014

Sac: Chris Gilpin 24.9
Duncan Shields (1) 25.6
T-Kootz (2) 26.1 + (4) 27.0 = 53.1 Fourth! (1 point)
Liz (3) 24.9
Nadine Pluzak (4) 24.0
Johnny MacRae (5) 27.9 + (1) 24.9 = 52.8 Fifth!
Darry Danzig (6) 26.5 + (5) 25.2 = 51.7 Sixth!
Coral More (7) 27.0 + (6) 27.1 = 54.1 First! (16 points)
Tonzi (8 ) 26.3 + (2) 26.9 = 53.2 Third! (4 points)
Simon Massey (9) 26.7 + (3) 26.9 = 53.6 Second!(9 points)
Jake Fine (10) 24.2
James Davidson (11) 25.4

(EDIT: As you can see, there are six places. The host accidentally put six names in the jug for the second round, not five. We didn’t realize what had happened until it was too late. Also, the scores on the night are just a little different than the scores reported here. The ones here are corrected.)
