WHEN DOES IT START?
The World XCM On-line tournament will start on 15 May. The tournament requires that you make a video approximately once every 2-3 weeks only. You have that time to make your routine and upload.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The World XCM Tournament uses a double elimination battle system. In other words, people are paired up by random drawing and they battle to decide on the winner. Each competitor submits there video and our pannel of expert judges grades them all individually by a point system, and declares the winner. The winner advances in the winner's bracket and the looser drops down to a loser's bracket. You have to lose 2 battles/rounds to be out of the tournament completely.
