Offical Rules:

Format

Each band needs to put together a 3 song set list, no downloadable songs can be used. The band's final score will be an awarded based on all judging criteria. Your band will have 5mins before and after your band is called to setup and tear down sets. Any band intros are included in this 5mins. During play if a band member fails in the middle of a song, band members can save him without penalty, however if the band fails a song you will be given a score of 0 to be averaged into the other 2 songs, so make sure you know your skill level and get in some practice before the tournament.

 

Judging Criteria:

A panel of 3 judges will score musicians in each category using a point system:

"Technical Score", Each band will play a three 3 song set Technical scores will be applied to each song. The game automatically calculates how many notes you hit, so the percent completed for each member will be added up for a combined maximum of 400 points per song. These points will be averaged to get to one score up to 400 points.

"Costume Score" is judged on how it applies to your band and how you use it as part of your show, each band member has the potential to earn up to 25 points each, for a combined maximum of 100 points.

"Stage Presence" This is what this tournament is all about! It is worth a combined maximum of 500 points (100 per band members style and difficualty) plus 100 for working togeather as a band. This is also where difficulty factors in, so if you think you can handle a song on expert, it'll pay off huge. On top of that, what makes a rock band memorable how you perform on stage, so feel free to dance, ad lib, props (including real instruments), lights, fog, and whatever else you think will add to the act. This is the big one, anyone can dress up and play a song, but it's HOW your band plays that makes the difference, so practice those scissor kicks and know when it's time for more cowbell, 'cause people come for the music, but they stay for the show'. Props must be supplied by the band and approved before their use, Pyrotechnics are NOT allowed.
