Is it a Poetry Slam?

Folks--

--I just had a conversation with a poet who said she'd been in 'many' slams, but when I asked, none of them were judged by the audience or by audience members. I've always thought the defining characteristic of a "Poetry SLAM" is that the audience judges.

--Out of curiousity, who disagrees?
