Last night I promised to make a decree about how we are going to handle tie-breakers in Story Slams in the future, so here it is: If there is a tie for 1st-3rd place the first way to break the tie will be to look if a person got a time penalty. If they did, they will take the lower place. In the case of a 1st or 2nd place tie, we will only declare 3 winners to advance to semi-finals, so third place will be bumped out of the prize and advancement running. In the case of a 3rd place tie with a time penalty a person will fall to 4th and not be an official placer for the evening, nor will they advance to semi-finals. If the competitors in the tie did not get a time penalty, or they both got time penalties we will do a one sentence story death match on the theme for the next month. Storytellers will get two minutes to right their one sentence story, then the judges will choose between them both to declare who will get the top spot they were tied for and who will place one lower. Whoa.
