For this competition, It will be a battle format 2 VS 2. After the success of this format, which has been installed for years for the semi-final of the advanced jazz solo, this format deserves fully to be a competition on its own.
Prepare yourself for the same format as Champions Cup and Team City Battle, that is to say a chain of Battle from the beginning to the end of the competition: 1/8 final, ¼ final, ½ final and final.
In each battle each team will go 16X8 two times trough. Half a chorus of improvisation will be required per round.
