Rules & Details:

DMC Regional Battles

DJs battle solo - showcase style (not head to head). Each DJ will perform a 2 min. elimination routine. If a DJ is selected for the top six regional Finalists, he or she must perform a 6 min. routine. We are using Technic turntables and Rane TTM 56 mixers. DJs can use any needles they favor. DJ computer programs are not permitted in this battle. Each DJ must bring his/her own headphones, slipmats, needles, records, etc. Competitors must be bona-fide nationals of the USA or be able to prove that they have resided in the USA for a minimum of 6 years. The champion of each regional advances to the 2009 DMC USA Finals on August 1, 2009 in New York City. Select DJs who came in 2nd could or might (not a definite) be invited to battle in the US Finals at their own expense. DJs can use their own mixers only to battle in the US Finals (not the regionals). The 2009 DMC US Champion will advance to the 2009 DMC World DJ Championships in London England on Sept. 12th, 2009.
