* Participants will need to be alert and near the stage during the battles. If we call your name and you don't arrive to the stage, we will go onto the next bracket but if then at the end when we call your name a second time and we still can't find you, unfortunately you will be disqualified.

Judging Criteria:

Musicality:

This is how musical your beatboxing is. Have you crafted your composition and arranged your routines? For example, do they build-up and finish well? Have you used melody - bass lines or lead parts - and if so, are you able to keep pitch and deliver something with good tone and timbre that sounds musically pleasing?

Technicality:

Technicality is not just about speed. The judges will be looking for clarity, complexity and the timing of your delivery. They will be looking at the diversity of sounds you produce and the techniques you use. Do your routines bridge and flow into each other well?

Originality:

Our Judges know quite abit about beatboxing. They will be looking for sounds and routines that make you stand out. Are your beats fresh and diverse? Do you have something in your repertoire that is original and hasn’t been done before?

Performance:

The judges will be monitoring crowd response and will be wanting to see how you are on the stage and how you use it, be entertaining! Have you captivated the audience and the judges with your routines?

Engagement:

A battle is a battle. This means you need to engage your opponent! The judges will be watching the ‘fight’. How are you responding to your opponent? The judges will be looking for quick-wittedness, ingenuity and clever comebacks.
