Tomorrow the two stage competition starts.
There will be a thread called American Poet Main Stage
where the winners of the auditions will compete. The
judges will pick the winner there at 9pm eastern tomorrow.
Everyone who did not pass the audition will compete on
a thread called American Poet Second Stage until 6pm eastern
tomorrow. At 6pm a thread will be started called Vote
For Second Stage Winner. There will be 3 hours of voting.
You can vote for yourself but you can only vote once.
Voting more than once will disqualify you. At 9pm the
votes will be tallied and the winner of the Main Stage
and The Second Stage will be announced. The two winners
will compete in Thursdays Finals.

One problem in your 9 pm est. Those of us who are on the west coast may
not be able to read or vote in the time frame you have set. 3 hrs
difference, I barely made it in time to post a final piece.
