Doors open at 6PM. Check-in begins at 6PM.
16 crews from St. Louis, Peoria, Champaign, Chicago, Milwaukee, and more...

$500 Cash prize for First Place.

Crew Selection:

8 open spots + 8 reserved spots = 16 crews

Registration:

All competing crews are required to register (BOTH partners). 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. Crew registration is $2 per member.

Crews competing for open 8 spots: Check-in deadline at 7:30PM.

Crews with a reserved spot: Check-in deadline at 8:30PM. After 8:30PM your crew forfeits its spot. For those unsure, email me to verify your reserved spot.

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 Batman & Robin crew versus crew battle. 3-5 Rounds will be alloted for each crew. This means one person in the crew may go out once more than the other.

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 - 2 on 2 Crew Battle:

Will Be Done in 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)
