Winners will be judged by "comparative audience response at the end of each weekly event" as measured by a decibel meter.

The "Grand Prize Winner" will receive "their own Branson Show" in the form of a free time slot for the entire season, March through October 2007, at the Owens Theatre. According to the press release for the event, "This represents a minimum value of $25,000.00 and a potential proven value of up to $ 150,000.00!"

There is one strange rule. It states "Each contestant must be pre-qualified to receive free hotel rooms, dinner certificate and free show tickets awarded to participant. This prequalification is connected to participants agreeing to attend a 90 min presentation of Travel Club Discount Programs. There are no registration fees!"
