How it works - Rules


This is currently in beta

This setup needs testing so consider it beta for now. In this forum, when you make a new post you will have this option:



It is important that you type in the name of the person you are challenging correctly or it will not work. Please refer to the member directory and copy/paste if you are unsure. All posts started with the incorrect spelling of the name will be closed.

The votes can be defined from 10 to 35, depending on how many you want as the initiator. This is the part I am unsure of, we won't really know until someone wins.

Thanks for helping us test this out it can be a great addition to the site if all goes well. Good luck and have fun!

very very cool idea eric im sure this will attract plenty dudes man . really great idea . and voting should work too . simply voting for the one you prefer .. instead of voting marks out of 10 for each . this way nobody can bunk vote . still possible to cheat . but theres only one eternal and he ain't here anymore lol .

Does it have to be a cover song or can it be original? And Mab I will be the 100% looser, Of this I am sure.

As long as both parties agree on it, it can be anything

I'm not a metal guy. but if you keep the backing to blues or classic rock style, I'll give it a go. One thing, I don't get amp back until Friday of this week.

Let's limit this thread to Rules and Q&A please, you guys can start a new topic in the challenges forum about this if you want.

I'm not sure this is a great idea. After all look what happened to guitarbattle.com
Kind of funny, I came here to get away from GB, but now it seems to have popped its ugly little head again. Hopefully this "version" will work.

It's just a couple of extra forums in the whole scheme of things, you can easily ignore them by clicking the little up arrow (very right) on the category header and theywon't show for you any more
