Vic Slam Finals - June 16

Wow - This has been THE best slam season ever. More poets than you can shake a stick at. More cheering fans than we have seats and more new beautiful poems.


It was well worth it.

And now we've done the maths (twice, because we're poets and not so good at the maths) and determined the top 12 poets advancing to the VIC SLAM FINALS.

And on June 16 five of them will rise to the top to become the Vic Slam Team.

Who will they be? That's for you to decide.

2011 Slam Season Standings

Slam Standings - you can see there is a tie for 12th place.

According to Rule 14 (http://vicpoetryslam.blogspot.com/2010/11/2011-slam-rules.html) we then go to average cumulative score, and Todd has (49.3+53.4= 51.35) to Anne (55.7+22.6=39.15). Todd Palmer is the 12th poet.

All 12 poets will be invited to Finals. Poets must confirm they are competing. If a poet declines, the place will be offered to the next on the list. Anne is therefore first on the waitlist.

Miss Marie – 6.5 points
Megan Ann Ward - 6 points
Jeremy Loveday - 4.5 points
Scott Thompson - 4 points
Matt McKenzie - 4 points
