WHAT'S NEW 2023?
This year we are trying a new concept, organizing three separate competitions instead of a whole league:
Battle Liiga Gold, a sampler competition and the first ever trickery championships!

Rules
TIME LIMIT – 60 SECOND BATTLE
Good old battlaus, which does not lack intensity! No turns, just trick during the 60 seconds whenever you want, as long as you don't disturb the other's performance by being in the way or by tricking underneath. Put on a good show with your opponent and sway the judges to your side!
FINALS / 3 sets to win
At the beginning of the battle, the battle starter is drawn. The starting trickster is the first to do a series of moves or a trick, to which the other trickster has 30 seconds to respond with his own combo / single trick. After both tricksters have done their own performance, the judges choose the winner at the end of each round.
The Battle is won by the trickster who wins 3 sets, depending on the round.
Evaluation criteria
EVALUATION CRITERIA
In knitting, each movement is not graded with a point system. Instead, the judges evaluate the sets of moves with the following criteria:
1. Kicks (kicking technique, cleanliness, power, showmanship)
2. Acrobatics (Volts and twists)
3. Style & Creativity (Fluidity of combos, using different moves, landings, surprise)
4. Performance (Does the battler look at the floor or at another contestant, judges & audience. How good a show does the battler put on.)
5. Degree of difficulty (Number of twists, variations and technical transitions, i.e. how to move from one trick to another)
