competitors or groups, with 8m x 8m. In this area they will wait to be called upon by the
speaker of the competition to perform their routine. Seeing that this warm up area may have
space limitation, the competitors who feel that they need either more time or space to warm
up or practice their routine must do so on their own accordance and look for other spaces out
of the warm up area or the actual arena. The competitor will be required to be at the warm up
area at the time stipulated by the OC, failure to do so may be reason enough for
disqualification. In the exhibition area there will be side-arenas, destined for side-battles and

battles are still to be determined. The arena will be equipped with sound and lighting in
