Crew Selection:

8 open spots + 8 reserved spots = 16 crews

Registration:

All competing crews are required to register. There will be registration cards that must be filled out and turned in by competitors. Crews should note that if there is an overwhelming amount of squads/teams that register, your crew will be allowed to enter a MAXIMUM of 2 squads/teams.

Open 8 Spot Eliminations:

The 8 reserved spots were given to the people that contacted me first. The 8 open spots will be determined by crew showcase. Each person in the crew that is showcasing must go out at least once. There is a two minute time limit to the showcase. If further crews need to be eliminated after the showcase elimination, the lowest scoring crews from the showcase will be matched up in a crew versus crew battle. 3-5 Rounds will be alloted for each crew.

EXAMPLE: 12 crews enter: All twelve will throwdown a short showcase. The top 8 will be selected. If for some reason the judges pick more than 8 crews, in this case let's say 9, the two crews with the lowest Scores would battle for spot number 8.

Sweet 16 - Three-on-Three Crew Battle:

A Tournament-style Bracket.

  • 16 will be eliminated to 8 (8 battles)
  • 8 will be Eliminated to 4 Semi-Finalists (4 battles)
  • 4 Semi-Finalists will be eliminated to 2 Finalists (2 battles)
  • 2 Finalist will go Head-to-Head & determine the winner (final battle)
