Owth go ahead...scoring tips 10 lines gives best chance for points/line for example 18 points for 10 lines is a 1.8 if you only have 5 lines theres not as many line to get points on. Say you have five lines to get 2.0 you'll have to get 10 points. Points are scored for euphony, close pairs,head rhymes,meter,reversed pairings. catalogs, catalogs ascending to a zenith, or descending to a nadir, unique construction and use of focus and whitespace among other tricks you might use, provided I see it(duh). Remember: if you write an ode...thats 18 lines to get the 2.0 you have to score 36 points....and then its all got to be aesthetic and make sense doesn't it. Can you see why I wanted y'all to wait? In the future the model might be in more of a puzzle form to challenge the grey matter as well.
