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.
