COSTUMES ALLOWED. PROPS ALLOWED. This will be a bracket-style tournament for the winner. The tournament will be a trivia-style round in the participant's field of expertise (example poet 1 is an expert in Dragonball Z and participant 2 is an expert in My Hero Academia). Both will be asked two questions each based on their field of expertise with the one who answers the most moving on. If at the end of the round it’s a tie the participants will be asked a random general nerd question(a question not specific to either of their topics). The first one to buzz in or raise their hands will get a chance to answer. If they answer correct they will move on, but if answered incorrectly the opponent will move on The final round will be one poem slam off with a panel of 3 judges choosing the winner. The poem must be nerd themed and the poet's own works. Poets will have 3:30 seconds. I will stop the poet at this mark. No time penalties. Costumes and props are welcome Bout draw Poets must be present or have a proxy present for the time of the bout draw or they will automatically be the lowest seed.
