Road to R16 | ep 1 | from the Ghettos to the Grand Arena

This brand new show will feature in depth analysis of controversies, Hot Topics, the R16 Global Recap and Upcoming Predictions. New episodes coming every 2 weeks up to the R16 World Finals
The concept of RESPECT is the everlasting theme of this massive four-day event. Over 300 artists, musicians, grassroots-content creators, promoters, producers, urban enthusiasts, hip-hop heads and b-boys from around the world convene in Korea, in an attempt to provide the proper inspiration necessary to push the movement forward. What started out as a world-championship-level b-boy tournament has now evolved into a massive annual festival, which seeks to encompass all aspects of urban youth cultures, as the festival draws visitors and spectators not only from Korea, but also from different regions of Asia and the world.
In 2007, the R16 World B-Boy Championships & Urban Arts Festival was launched as a means of answering a single, burning question: With the support of the government and nation, can grassroots, youth-based cultures like hip-hop and b-boying become profitable, self-sustaining industries? Can these underground movements embed themselves and maintain relevance in society and the mainstream media in Korea and throughout the world?
Through the generous support of the Korea Tourism Organization, the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the city of Incheon, this year's world-class festival will celebrate and demonstrate the power of youth and the positive possibilities a gathering of this nature can create.
More than anything, this event is a testament to the notion that through dedication and passion, anything is possible. Despite all the conflicts and prejudices that exist in our world, we can still overcome our differences and unite as a group through dance.

With all due respect, here are some thoughts & uncertainty which I want to raise in regards to O.U.R scoring: 1) For crew battles, how do you benchmark between one round of solo vs routine/ commandoz? In most cases, a routine/ commandoz round covers much more content in all 5 scoring elements than a solo. How do you ensure a fair judging system in this case? 2) How does repetition play over one entire battle? Seems like this area is not covered in none of the 5 elements. If the judging system is based on a round-to-round basis, one can score high points in different rounds using the same moves? Put simply, where & how is repetition criticized? Nonetheless, I do have mad respect & appreciation to the intentions of O.U.R from the very beginning. Keep up the good work!

[@arktzen]

The music was too loud and I didn't understand everything. So do they want to upload the battles on a platform where the users have to pay in order to watch the videos?

[@R16KOREA]

***** no no no. Dyzee said, they want to bring Bboying up on a platform where Bboys can make a living and be paid by sponsors to be just Bboys.

[@arktzen]

R16KOREA Puuuuh, thank you :D
