The Pitch Process
Pitches are 5-7min, warning bell at 5min and 'the plug is pulled' at 7min. Then a judge Q&A so pitchers will be given constructive advice on how to better sell their ideas. And spectators will get to see the brave rise or fall... ;-)
Judges will have 5min or so Q&A and so a whole pitch should take 15min including swap over. We will try and get 8 pitches in the night...
The Coach
Coach Stevie V Brown will lead the limited spot session, and don't worry, you needn't pitch on the night if you don't want to!
