That's funny as hell. If we want to see people betting on this sport in Vegas eventually, there has to be a standard to go by.

When it comes to non-judged battles, judge however you like.

Lol I just watch the battles and determine who won off who entertained me the most.

I don't even care who wins like that. I'll state my opinion, but I'm not gonna spend too much energy arguing over who won a battle.

This is just entertainment. As long as you come with it, regardless of the outcome, people are going to want to see you.

Has judges battles really enhanced the battle rap experience?

Outside of tournaments, not really.

You’re 100% right about this is all entertainment, but when folks ask who you think won the battle, I’ll break it down to show my point

I don’t mind walking away from a battle calling it debatable and leaving it at that. When I was younger I used to argue tooth and nail on who won a close battle

These days I just judge who did well and who didn’t. I’m not giving a guy credit for doing better than his opponent if they both were wack to me

Quick question, after all the talk about swamp vs jc I’m noticing when folks score rounds it’s all or nothing.

Am I the only one that ranks rounds similar to a boxing scoring system, then tallying up those scores to get a winner?

I.E. I had swamp up 20/18 after 2. With the couple of chokes I gave JC rnd 3 10/7 (I count chokes/stumbles similar to knock downs)
I mean, boxing is pretty all or nothing type scoring too. Unless there’s a knockdown you can pretty much guarantee it’s gonna be a 10-9 round. Even totally dominant rounds normally catch 10-9s. I think in battle rap, there have been rounds that were so dominant that it swayed peoples opinions of the whole battle, though they’re kinda rare.

Not many, but there are rounds I’ll score 10/8 without chokes. JJDD vs Jakkboy for example. shyt was nasty.

Hell, Shine could have got a few vs Sikh but I still need to watch again
