Three (3) rounds per couple, One solo each dancer and one combo. During the preselection there will no winners in the battles. Judges will just pick the best eight (8) couples to go to the quarter finals. If less than eight (8) couples are registered in a category, they directly get to the final rounds.
Each judge have one vote during the battle rounds. If there is tie, the couple have one more round (one solo) to decide the winner. The judges can not abstain themselves from voting – so there can’t be a tie.
