==General Rules/Format==
- In person signups are from 11:30am-12:30pm. If you are signed up online via the Facebook event, I will have your name down, but you still have to check in before 1pm or I will cross your name off the list.
- Whenever a dancer goes out, they have up to 1 minute for the round. Commandos/routines allowed for normal battle rounds.
- No more than 3 dancers per crew. If your crew has less than 3, you must still go the full number of rounds. So if the battle is 3 rounds, a 1-person crew would have to go out 3 times.
- Majority judging rules, i.e. 2 ties = tie decision
- In the event of a tie, there will be one extra round. One dancer from each side only; no commandos/routines during tie rounds.
==Prelims==
- Battles will be decided by random drawing of crew names.
- 3 rounds (In a 3v3 situation, each dancer goes out once).
==Cypher Break==
- Judges will then choose and bracket Top 8.
- If there are less than 8 crews, Top 4 will be decided.
==Top 8==
- 6 rounds (In a 3v3 situation, each dancer goes out twice).
- Judges will pick crew to move on.
==Cypher Break==
==Semis==
- 6 rounds
==Cypher Break==
==Finals==
- 6 rounds
==Cypher until we're kicked out! (5:00)==
