A Poetry slam is the competitive art of performance poetry.
The Poetry Slam Rules are
-Each poem must be of the poet's own construction;
-Each poet gets three minutes (plus a ten-second grace period) to read one poem. If the poet goes over time, points will be deducted from the total score.
-The poet may not use props, costumes or musical instruments;
-Of the scores the poet received from the five judges, the high and low scores are dropped and the middle three are added together, giving the poet a total score of 0-30.
