R16 Oceania 2013

When:  Saturday, 11 May 2013 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Where:  CBD
City, Sydney, NSW   (Map)

Krosswerdz Australia will be holding a bboy battle in Sydney CBD on Saturday 11 May.

We are currently trying to raise funds (>$20,000) to make this part of the official R16 worldwide program.

If we can get the funds to make it an R16 event - the winning crew will receive an all expenses paid trip to Korea to participate in the R16 World Championships during 6-8 July.
If we can't raise the funds - we will still be holding an event on the same day with a major prize for the winning crew.

The event is open to crews in the Oceania World Region: Australia, New Zealand and surrounding nations.
We believe there will be an R16 National Qualifier in New Zealand. If you are a NZ crew that wins that event you will win flights and accommodation to Sydney to compete in R16 Oceania.
