Event Launch: Battle of the Bands

[Online Sequencer]

 Hey, it’s Alex. The OS Event Committee will revive Battle of the Bands as another recurring event next to Monthly Contests.

This will be a collaborative competition that will commence every 3 months. For those of you unfamiliar with BotB, the original post can be found here.

General Information

Battle of the Bands is a collaborative contest across the site. You will form a band of at least two members and work on sequences together to compete with other bands.

When your team is satisfied with their sequences, post them under the respective Battle of the Bands thread. Make sure to list all your team members and give yourself a band name to identify by!

Each battle is labeled from Q1 - Q4 and represents which quarter of the year it takes place. We will announce the next battle every 3 months, totalling in 4 battles for the year.


The scheduling for Battle of the Bands is as shown below.

General Notes For Battle of The Bands:

• Bands must consist of at least two members to participate.
  

• Requires at least 2 sequences per band.
  
  
• Bands must have a Band Name and a list of members in their post. One post per band.
  

• Committee members are allowed to enter the contests, as they are not judging the contestants.
  

• Sequences made prior to the current Battle of the Bands are not allowed.
  

• The standard Online Sequencer Rules will apply and any entries violating a rule will automatically be disqualified.

Members can vote for a band at anytime, for as long it is within the event’s duration.

(Note: In the case that not enough votes are given, committee members will personally judge.)
