That’s right.. the Freestyle Crown is back again this year! What the heck is the Freestyle crown you ask? It’s two rounds of VIRTUAL Freestyle submitted to be scored by an awesome panel of judges. All participating teams will earn legit UpDog points, receive judge feedback, and have the shot to win some super cool prizes 
FAQ
Here are some common answers to questions about the Freestyle Crown:
This is a VIRTUAL Freestyle competition. You’ll film yourself rocking some Freestyle and submit it to the Crown!
Teams will submit TWO rounds of Freestyle (one criteria, one performance) throughout October this year.
Videos can be uploaded to any sort of video service, such as Youtube or Vimeo. They MUST be either public or accessible with the shared link. If it’s private.. the judges cannot watch or score it!
All participating teams will earn Updog points for submitted rounds!
Unfortunately you cannot submit Freestyle rounds recorded at UpDog competitions during that time frame. You’ll already be judged and receive points for those from UpDog!
Videos MUST be one continuous shot, no flow edits or cuts can be done on your submission. Edits such as adding music is 100% allowed!
Submissions will be judged at the same level as an “in person” round at an event. Judges cannot judge what they cannot see, so discs caught (or not caught) off screen won’t be judged. Same for sequences that are off screen, etc. You may have a helper with recording that pans your camera to catch all the action! Just remember… no cuts or flow edits!
RULES ARE THE SAME as live events.. especially for costumes and safety!. Check ’em here: https://updogchallenge.com/freestyle-showcase/
NO experience necessary, brand new teams are welcome (and encouraged!) to play!
You’ll receive your Criteria feedback Mid-October so you can apply it to your Performance round submission! HECK YEA!
You don’t have to play each round this month, you can do either the Criteria or Performance round if you want, but the cost is the same ($40 total for October).
There will be THREE Divisions: Novice, Intermediate, and Pro. Youth teams can play in the division they feel most comfortable competing in.
We are all playing by Level 2 scoring! Yes, even Novice! All rounds will be Level 2, and then teams will be divided into their division within that Level.
The Freestyle Crown will round out our summer long Freestyle Royale event (but you did NOT need to play in the Royale to play in the Crown.. it is open to ALL teams!)
MORE DETAILS ON DATES, TIME FRAMES, SIGN UP LINKS WILL BE RELEASED SOON! Sneak peek: the first half of October will be your CRITERIA round, film as early as October 1st!
