URAPS Rate

URAPS Rate is a poll (usually held semi-annually) where PRs rank every act that released during the past year or half-year on a scale of 0 to 10 to rank acts' overall popularity among members of Urapopstar. People are encouraged to be honest in their voting because votes are kept anonymous.

So far there have been nineteen URAPS Rates; the last one was held in March 2013. Emblaze and Aurora Reed have both won on three separate occasions. Emblaze were the first and only group to be number one in three Rates, winning the eighth, ninth, and tenth installments. Aurora Reed repeated the feat with the 18th, 19th and 20th rates. Sophie Ellis-Beckham, Lucreacia and China have all won twice as well.

How to rate
The rules encourage you to vote your own acts a 10 if you feel they deserve it. Any act you don't rate automatically gets a 5 vote. You must be fair in your voting; any strategy voting may be disqualified and could result in a point deduction from your own acts. The voter must follow a template given to them when voting, where they put their vote behind a comma next to the act's name; this is put into place to make inserting data into the spreadsheet easier. Cheating is not allowed at all.
