Semi-Finals

Hello everyone!  

This year we have added a semi-finals component to our tournament.  This show is happening on May 16th, at the Victoria Event Centre (1415 Broad St.) Doors will be at 7:30, with the show starting at 8.  

Semi-Finals will be a two round bout, with 12 poets.  Each poet will slam in both rounds, and after adding the scores from the two rounds, we will determine which poets make up our top 8, and they will be moving on to finals.  All regular slam rules apply.  

Poems performed this season can once again be performed.  Poets may not repeat the poems they perform at Semis, at Finals.  We have also added the condition that any poem performed on our Semi-Finals stage, or Finals stage, can not be repeated at future Finals, and Semi-Finals.  Without further ado, here are the 12 poets who will be competing on May 16th.

Jeremy Loveday

Matthew Christopher Davidson

Johnny Macrae

Morgan Purvis

Talen Rimmer
