Prepare yourself for the same format as Champions Cup and Team City Battle, that is to say a chain of Battle from the beginning to the end of the competition: 1/8 final, ¼ final, ½ final and final.
In each battle each team will go 16X8 two times trough. Half a chorus of improvisation will be required per round.
