When producers arrive, they will submit instrumentals to our concierge and register properly on the Challonge.com website in order to keep record of the sport.

All producers will choose the beats they will compete with at the beginning of the event and will not be choosing beats during each round unless stated for the last round or ties etc.

There will be face-offs that will be judged by special guests and crowd participation. The hardest-hitting, most dynamically pleasing, and creative tracks will be victorious.
