FAQ

Why do we need a team leader?

A team leader serves as your main point of contact to us in case you have any questions. This helps us keep the DMs organized so we appreciate your cooperation! Any of the members are free to message us as well as long as it is just one person from your team!

How are theme interpretation scores given?

This will be graded in two parts: the written theme interpretation and then the points earned from using the evidence provided in each round.

Will I lose points for theme interpretation if our team’s theory on what happened is wrong?

Absolutely not! As long as you can sell your theory well you’re good to go.

Can I use the official character sprites, CB logo, and assets?

You may use the CB logos freely as long as you credit dodo @415x2 in your asset link and video description. You may use the Round 1 necklace as long as you credit Tachi @tachii_xx in your asset link and video description. Use of official character sprites are NOT allowed.

Is there a limit to how many members we can change after the first round?

Due to current world issues, we understand how members may need to change due to unavoidable circumstances. We have decided to allow members to freely be changed within reason (i.e. not the entire group changing).

Why are some participants blacklisted?

Blacklisting certain participants that have been known to engage in harmful practices is something that the CB teams feels is necessary in order to maintain a fun and safe chorus battle environment. We do not take accusations lightly and will only blacklist individuals that have sufficient enough evidence to warrant doing so.
