League Structure

5 teams, each with eight people. The teams decide on team captains after the rosters have been announced. Captains contribute to league decision-making and put in the song selections.

If you sign up with friends, let us know, and we'll place you together, but you will probably be on a team with new folks. It's all part of the game. This league fills up extremely fast, so we want to accommodate as many folks as possible.

Three Rounds of Themed Karaoke - ranked voice voting in between each round

Team get points based on placement in the rounds.

The first two rounds are chill and worth fewer points, and the third round is a show-stopper round (anything goes, props, costumes, sets, etc.)

The two teams with the most points after week six face off against each other in the finals.

Review the rules for more info.

Chill Round - Minimal props & costumes, no major set pieces, groups are OK Showstopper - Anything goes, group preferred

Classic League - All rounds are the same number of points and involve minimal to no props and costumes, no set pieces. No requirements for performer numbers per round. Classic League will take place on Mondays at Legionnaire.

Creative League - Two chill rounds and one showstopper (worth more points). Tuesdays at Parliament this fall.

Floater - Someone who isn't rostered to any team but can be brought up to sing with a team when a roster player is out. One floater per team per week. Must be cleared with leadership ahead of time.
