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 through 8 pitches in the
night...
