The marks from the three judges will be added up, and the participants will then be ranked according to their total score. In case of a score draw between two freestylers, a judge selected by the Sports Committee will intervene and use his quality vote to break the tie. The circles will then be created according to the aforementioned ranking from the qualification stage and following the usual seeding procedure: the freestyler ranked first will be placed in a group with the last, the second with the second last, and so on. In the  circles , three judges will evaluate and score each of the three videos sent by the participants on a scale of 1 to 10. The best-ranked freestylers across all the circles will progress onto the next stage; the general ranking coming from these circles (that is, the total amount of points earned by each freestyler, accumulating the points earned by each of their three videos) will be used to determine the battles in the knockout stage. In case of a score draw between two freestylers, the results of the qualification stage will be used to break the tie. The knockout rounds will feature live battles, including Top 8 for men and Top 4 for women, on an online show which will happen on the weekend of October 21st and will be broadcast on the official channels of the WFFA. All results from the competition will be published on the official Tournify page of the event. Judges Pulse Mombasa will be evaluated by an elite team of judges  that will be announced on the official WFFA channels. Stay tuned for more details! Each of the judges will review and evaluate every clip from the participants individually and independently. In the event of a draw during a battle or in the qualification stage, the members of the WFFA Sports Committee will jump in and break the tie.
