Latest from the secret wars camp…
(As usual, we will be covering each battle and trying our damned hardest to get interviews with all the artists)
SECRET WARS IS RE FORMATTING AND ROLLING INTO 2010 WITH A DIFFERENT KIND OF CHALLENGE
After 3 and a half years of single battle series locally in over 20 countries, we have decided to try something different and potentially more exciting for 2010… Introducing the European Warriors series!
“When we started Secret Wars 3 years ago, it was influenced heavily by various things from the Marvel comic, to Warriors and Fight Club. After experiencing the team battles around the World and seeing the benefits of this compared to the singles battles, we decided on trying it as a complete 6-8 month series!”
“I have noticed the crowds are more vocal and patriotic towards team battles – there seems to be more at stake and I love watching the artists free-styling alongside each other…. You never know what will come out the other end!” Terry Guy (Founder of Monorex and Secret Wars)
The rules are the same but the structure of the competition and dynamics of the battle are slightly different – see below for details.
How the competition will work & when
There will be 8-10 teams/cities involved in next years competition, and each city will select 6 artists to part of a squad. Each team will select 2-3 wildcard entries consisting of previous champs and general bad boys! The remaining members will be picked at the local qualifiers.
City selection events – November / December 09 (Check Secret Wars website for dates)
- Each city will call out and actively invite people down to jam and show off their skills
- Draw will take place to decide what team is which group (A or B)
- Two groups of 4-5 teams with the top two teams qualifying
- Rather than a knockout cup comp, we have decided to make this a little more interesting and maybe fairer – Each game will be a league match with each judge vote and crowd vote worth a point!
- Each team will play home and away against the others in their group
