JUDGING

The judges will get all sets they need to judge without any names, just a number between 1-16. They will have to judge all sets on: track choice, variety, mixing, build-up, and overall quality. In each of these criteria the judges give a set points ranging from 1-5. For example:



The total score of all the judges for every set will be added together to make the final score for the set for that round. IMPORTANT: this time to make it fair, the highest 8 scoring (for the 4th category the highest 4 scoring) will continue to the next round.

I hope this is enough information for now, if there are any questions please ask below, or PM me.

Good luck on the sets, I look forward hearing them!

*special thanks to Star (copied most of their rules and stuff)

THERE ARE STILL JUDGES NEEDED (MOSTLY FOR CATEGORY 3) SO PLEASE SIGN UP

Kan hier eventueel een tijdelijk sticky van gemaakt worden ?

What are the rules on using samples? From what lenght is it a track instead of a sample etc?

Edit: confirming judge cat 2.

I do have one question.
Is there a maximum bpm for the genre's? Or doesn't it matter?

True, but you can never know.
Maybe they want Hardstyle at 155 bpm or slower...

Yeah, but I 99.9% assume that isn't the case

If it's mostly the same tracks I suppose you would mark them down in the variety section??

i mean sets,should have variety from the beginning,so tributing should not be allowded and limited per 2-3 tracks/remixes from same artists or smth like that
