The purpose of the Battle is to allow high-scoring, judge-selected routines from the competition to cheer each other on and compete head to head in a super-hyped environment for the pride of winning the Inferno Battle Cup. The battle is purely for fun and has no bearing on final awards results including Grand Champion Awards. Battle routines are not scored again.

Battle is about who brings their energy, their passion, their artistry and leaves it all on the competition floor.

BATTLE WINNERS RECEIVE THE INFERNO BATTLE CUP.

BATTLE ROUTINE SELECTION:

Routines invited to battle are selected by judges.
Not all high score winners will be invited.
Any routines which place in high score overalls may be invited to battle so long as the high score winner and any higher placing routines in that category are invited (i.e. if 3rd place is invited, 2nd and 1st will be invited as well).
all routines are eligible for battle (all levels and ages are eligible)

BATTLE INVITATIONS AND SCHEDULE WILL BE ANNOUNCED THROUGHOUT THE WEEK (ONCE ALL IN A BATTLE CATEGORY HAVE COMPETED).

THE KALAHARI RESORT

BLOCKS FILL QUICKLY – BOOK YOUR ROOMS EARLY!

All guests must stay a minimum of three (3) nights in order to receive the discounted group rates.
Guest Room rate will be valid until the cut-off Date: May 27, 2026, or until the block has filled. After the cut-off date, discounted rates are not available for any rooms added or adjusted.
Once the block is filled there is no guarantee Inferno can add additional rooms or get continued discounted rates.

CHANGES TO LENGTH OF STAY CAN BE MADE THROUGH May 27th, 2026

Changes after that date will result in full room and tax charges for any dates dropped.

This is a Kalahari policy and Inferno cannot grant exceptions. Inferno does not guarantee final routine/competition schedule will be available by May 27th 2026, but a schedule showing which sessions will occur on which dates will be available by the cut-off date and should be used to confirm booking dates.
