Don't think this was mentioned, but afaik, the scoring system is something along the lines of
50 points for skill
50 points for 'promotability' which is essentially 1 point for each person that comes through on your list.
And i think the place opens at..8?

| Format: After receiving all applications, the Myplace team will allocate 3 up and coming DJs a 1 hour set each, between 9pm-12am every Tuesday. 9 weeks of heats will be held, with a total of 27 DJs having a spin in front of the Myplace crowd and judges. Each week a winner will be decided (criteria below). This winner will see receive a cash prize (TBA) and progress to one of three Semi-Finals. Three Djs will again fight it out in each Semi-Final, the respective winners progressing to the Grand Final and receiving a larger Prize. And finally, the 13th week Granny will be held on Tuesday May 27. A special guest DJ will help the So You Think You Can DJ panel judge the winner, and will later play in the main room. Grand Prize: A large cash prize and a weekly Myplace residency. Criteria to register/apply: Your own belief you can play to the crowd and win your respective heat. So You Think You Can DJ judging criteria: DJs will be rated out of 100 points. The DJ awarded most points will win the heat. 10points: Track selection 10points: Technical Skill (ie. Mixing, effects, layering etc.) 10points: Originality 10points: Crowd Response 10points: Performance 50points: Promotability = Total out of 100. Judging Panel: Will include headline and resident DJs, and Myplace/Room promotional teams |

| Each DJ will be given 50 entry passes to the night (5 frees, 45 g/list entry) they play. The number collected will be tallied to give a promoting score out of 50. Hence, 50% of their mark will be based on what they do behind the decks, and 50% based around how many people they pull to the club (whether that be because of their music, loyal friends, interest in Myplace, or if they are a good "promoter"). |

| Basically, the idea behind it is so that no-one can win by being just a good dj and bringing down no people. If you get 50/50 for the djing part, but bring no people, someone who brings 50 people, but only gets 1/50 for djing still beats you. Dj competition; no. Promoter competition; yes. |
wow
50% of your mark is based on how many people you bring personally.
thats crazy!!
1 hour set in a club would be mad! as long as you dont get all nervous and fuck it up...i was thinking it would be one of those '15 minute cram as much stuff as you can' jobs
well to me anyway...i think i should have that covered though, just gotta get all the hot girls i serve at chaddy to come along
lol, so obviously this is just a publicity stunt to make money if it's 50% based on amount of people...
ah well, bit of fun i spose: deffinitly not playing to win
funzies all the way!
the guest-list thing should be interesting around here, since half the people not playing will probly be on all our lists
on that note: ben, you're coming in on mine, yeah??
I wonder if buying all the guestlists to get 50 would be a good idea, then you can get that money back from the grand prize assuming its not monopoly money.

I'm struggling to keep a straight face just reading the "50 points for promotability" bit! 
LOL 
So really, you could bring in 50 people and not even know how to plug in your headphones, and still have a decent chance of winning the competition??
FAAARK, I'd love to see that happen!!
Room has a standard setup (1000mk3's, 1200's, djm800) and 2 dvjs. Pretty fun to play in, and the booth has just been moved so it overlooks the dancefloor. Place should look awesome once the plasmas go in.
Also, i heard that the guy running saturdays (where i play, *ahem*)at Room is gonna be one of the judges (not sure), and

| Due to a massive So You Think You Can DJ? response (120+ applications), Myplace has decided to postpone the first heat of the competition and hold a wildcard draw tomorrow night. Hence, a further 9 DJs will get a crack in the competition - 36 DJs in total, 9 heats, 4 DJs per heat. |
50% promotability lol
that says it all.
here are some tips boys:
Bring as many people as you can
Dont worry about perfect beat mixing
Play shitty electro house music
Bring as many people as you can
Dont worry about layering etc etc
Bring as many people as you can
Ohh and one last one....
Bring as many people as you can.
So in other words Room are looking for promoters
