No early knockouts. No popularity contests. Just the best drops.
Standard battles punish bracket luck
Single elimination lets one bad draw erase a strong creator. Swiss gives everyone multiple battles.
Full songs too early kill stream pacing
Six-minute epics stall the room. Tight 60-second drops keep every matchup fast and comparable.
One lucky generation shouldn't win
A 3–5 track portfolio plus the Rule of Three rewards consistency, taste, and strategic selection.
The mechanics
Built like a sport
Swiss stage
Winners face winners. Similar records pair together. Nobody is eliminated early.
60-second drops
One minute to prove the track belongs on stream. Every matchup is fast and direct.
Rule of Three
Rounds 1–3 require three different songs. Reuse your heavy hitter only after round 4.
Chat = 4th judge
A binary A/B vote adds a fixed bonus that can swing close battles. Judges still carry the score.
Bring a portfolio, not a lucky accident.
Submissions stay anonymous until they hit the stream. Judges score blind. Chat brings the energy. Join the underground and drop your best 60 seconds.
