WHAT IS BEAT VS BEAT?
Beat vs Beat (BvB) is the official music-performance sport for producers under the Music-Performance Sports (MPS) platform. It’s a structured online league with scheduled games, real stakes, fan engagement, and a season format modeled after traditional sports.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Step 1 – Submit Your Best Beat (Feb 15 – Mar 15)
Producers submit one beat for evaluation. Submissions close March 15 or if we reach 50 total entries prior.
Step 2 – League Evaluation & Base Points
Before the Draft opens, the BvB Draft Committee listens to each eligible beat and scores it across three core categories.
Those scores form each candidate’s Base Draft Points
Step 3 – The BvB Draft (April 15–18)
The Draft runs four rounds over April 15–18. In each round:
​
-
The public listens and rates each beat on a 1–10 scale.
-
Those ratings are averaged into an Average Public Rating Score (APRS) at the close of the round.
-
Each candidate’s overall draft position is determined by a point system combining:
-
League Base Draft Points (from the Draft Committee)
-
Average Public Rating Score (APRS) (from the fans)
-
At the end of each round, the top 3 beats by total points are drafted to the roster.
Across four rounds, that creates the 12-producer inaugural BvB roster.
Step 4 – Regular Season & Playoffs
The 6-week regular season kicks off the week of May 25, followed by the playoffs, where the top 6 producers compete for the BvB championship.
FAQ
Q: Who actually decides who gets drafted—fans or the league? A: Both. The league’s Draft Committee sets Base Draft Points, and the fans create the Average Public Rating Score (APRS) each round. The combined total points determine who gets drafted.
Q: What happens at the end of each round of the Draft? A: The top 3 candidates by total points at the close of that round are drafted to the BvB roster.
Q: Are the same beats used in every round? A: Each candidate’s beat carries its Base Draft Points, and the public rating for that beat in each round updates their APRS and total score.
Q: How many producers end up on the roster? A: 12 producers total – 3 drafted in each of the 4 rounds.
