Congratulations!

Being scouted means that other musicians have found your audio submissions to be worthy! It is a prestigious honor.

Some audio contests here on Newgrounds require a musician to be scouted before participating. The Audio Deathmatch allows anyone and everyone to take part, though we still only send out a certain number of personal invitations. Receiving one in your PM inbox is also a prestigious honor!

I don't know if I have a shot at it but I'll give it my all. Here's my submission.

And with that, we are up to 192 Audition tracks!

With this many combatants in the arena, there's bound to be some serious carnage...

Damn! At this point, I'm not even confident that I'll make it past auditions this time! Looks like one hell of a contest!

And thus, I hereby declare my intention to use this competition to continue my illustrious tradition of composing musical "yo momma" jokes!

While I have yet to put finger to guitfiddle string, I believe that, should I pass the initial carnage, my first entry shall be entitled, "Nerd to Your Mother."

What good is a momma diss-track without a captive audience of judges to attempt to critique it through their mirth?

The Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch is not about confidence! It's about setting 'em up and knocking 'em down. One by one you take on all challengers and put them in the ground. That's the only way to make it to the Final Showdown.

The Group Stages have been done away with. It's just 1 vs 1 in every stage of the Tourney, until there's only a single triumphant hero left standing amidst a heap of broken bodies. It's brutal. It's gruesome. It's already more fun than a barrel of deranged monkeys on holiday!

Without wielding your weapons with legendary skill, there can be no hope of survival...

Grudge matches are outside my purview, I'm afraid. Not that I wouldn't enjoy witnessing such a spectacle myself, of course...

Did I mention that we'll be seeding everyone who makes it into the Tournament based on overall scores?

We're up to 195 entries! Just one more and we'll pull even with the 2nd highest number of Auditions back in 2012. Can we beat the record of 234 that was set in 2013? I think so!

Not too much longer now, folks! The final week of Auditions is upon us.

I'm VERY new to Newgrounds, but this thing sounds interesting. I'm slowly uploading all of my tracks on NG, starting from the oldest and working my way up to the newest ones. If I can find a worthy submission from the tracks I'm uploading before the deadline, I'll enter it.

Well i guess the spectacles will be happening later in the contest then :)

Interesting! But how exactly will that be managed? Will you e.g. take the strongest score into group A, the second strongest in group B, third in C and so on and after group 32 you proceed that same way until all 64 participants are seeded? Or will that mean that people with similar scores will be pit against eachother?

I shall be watching the spectacle with my spectacles. Thanks, Ben Franklin!

But seriously, it's an audio spectacle! You see it with your ears. Hear it with your eyes. I mean everyone here has synesthesia, right? Right?

So many questions! Suffice to say, everyone who has submitted an Audition track will be seeded. The top 64 seeds will move on to the Tournament and they will be matched up... what's that? Really? Oops! Sorry, I can't actually divulge the secret technique since it was perfected by warrior monks deep in the Himalayas. I guess you'll just have to wait and see!

Hm - why not just making it totally random and choosing the pairings live in a lottery kind of show? 64 names in a glass container with 64 intransparent plastic-globes within. An attractive person could draw the pairings directly - accompanied by drum-rolls. Of course we would need a commentator / moderator who makes the whole procedure exciting :D
