No particular order.

Judges are all over the place…I think every judge has given the low score at one point or another. We do have one consistently tough judge, but she’s far from the only one handing out low scores.

Second round and we’re still regularly seeing scores in the 6-7 range. Cool.

There was one poem that was revolting…and it got the high score of the night so far…ugh.

NOTE: Couple of judges changed for the third round.

This is one fuck of an interesting slam…all bets are off so far…

I’m blogging tonight from the Worcester finals.

Don’t expect scores or color commentary — I never pay attention to the scores until the end. But I’ll post the winners as soon as they’re confirmed.
