Frequently asked questions:
Q: Is the date definately confirmed?
A: Yes.
Q: Is it two seperate comps?
A: No - one comp.

A: The O.U.R system will be used with five judges each judging a different element.

Q: OK, if I win solo bboy, how much will it cost me to get to Taiwan?
A: The airfare is about $800, and hotel will cost about $200 for two nights. The local organisers will provide local transportation to you. So the prize of $1,000 should cover you.
Q: If we win the Superfreaks comp, can we go to Taiwan too?
A: Yes, you can. We are still raising funds for the whole event but at the moment we are only able to offer a small contribution towards the crew.
Q: How many crew members could go to Taiwan?
A: This year the R16 World Finals will be hosting crew battles for crews of 4 people only (not 8 like previous years).
Q: Are you guys doing the crowd vote thing again to choose a national crew?
A: Nope. This year R16 organisers were given a choice. Because there is not much time between the national and world event, we decided to go with existing crews so that people have time to properly prepare (really difficult if crew members live in different states around Australia!)
