** details of the scoring may be subject to change based on the availability of information on the maximum high scores
- Each Band will chose a song, based on discussions and or vote, that will be their HIT*
- Each Band Manager will notify the Tour Manager of the choice of Band name and their Hit
- The Tour Manager will inform the other Bands of what they will have to COVER as a Band
- Each Team will form a BAND consisting of 4 BAND MEMBERS for each song, Bass Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drummer and Lead Singer, these band members may be different for each performance
- The songs chosen will be performed at MEDIUM level
- Each Band will perform a Cover of the songs selected by the other Bands during the day on Saturday, this must be witnessed and the score recorded by an impartial observer
- Each Band will perform their hit at a performance on Saturday Evening, and the score witnessed, and recorded by an impartial observer
- A panel of four, hopefully, impartial observers, one from each team for balance, will be asked to score each performance in a side competition to determine a winner based purely on artistic merit, performance, costumes and generally getting in the spirit of things
- Scoring will be by researching the high scores possible for each chosen song, when added together they will tell us the maximum number of points potentially available, the tournament will have a potential L$250,000 available per team if they achieved a perfect score on every song, a proportion of that will be awarded based on the scores they actually achieve.**
