$20 at the door, or with online tickets. For credit card, there will be a 10% fee, no fee for cash.

There is free parking at the UW Central Plaza “Red Square” parking lot after 12pm on Saturdays, and it is a 4 block walk to the venue.

Doors open for competitors at 3pm, battle start promptly at 4pm. Doors open for public at 7pm, finals (including top 8 crews from prelims) start at 7:30pm. Anyone can come early to watch the prelims, but it is recommended for general public to come at 7pm. After party at Time Warp (1420 10th Ave Seattle) after the jam is over.

Fill out a bracket at the jam and turn it in before 7:30pm for a chance to win $100 (You don’t need to know any of the dancers, guessing is perfectly fine).

Families are welcome, kids under 10 get in free, just know the music might have curse words here and there.

Thanks to everyone who came to support the #northwestsweet16 yesterday. It was great to see that underground hip-hop is still viable in Seattle, even with all the changes we’ve seen over the last couple years.
 
Last night was super fun. First off congrats to Krubel Bekele “Buckshot” from Unleashed for taking the Sweet 16 bracket. Was great to see him finally take the championship. Not only does he get the Sweet 16 title, but Geoff Reyes will be flying him out to Florida for the UBL championship in July. Big ups to Luis Tfs Bowzee for taking second place in the 2v2 AND the Sweet 16 bracket. I’m sure all of us were wondering how he would have done had he only entered one bracket. For the 2v2, we had Byron Jay Donaldson and Dann Vital taking the W as Egyptian Cotton. For our all style champs, we extended two invites to two champions, Crownz and Squidgit (spelling?). Other notable competitors were Keltin Martin from Calgary, Mo Ramirez from Portland, Jermine Bulaong with the flavor, Sevrin Emnacen-Boyd, Samson, and a bunch more. Josh Laquian and Thomas Dominique Chung are working hard on the footage as we speak, they will have footage posted on the B-boy Network Channel asap: https://www.youtube.com/user/BboyNetwork.
 
Many thanks to the production team, couldn’t have done it without them. Judges: Eric Mpwo, Daniel King Reds Rojas, Anthony Kornnut Okino, Dufon Smith Orb, Victor Tran, Natasha Gorrie, Florentino Francisco, Chris Kaku Brothers. Djs/sound: Sean Lee, Khoi Quan, Tracey Wong, Drop B Angers. Photo/Video: Josh Laquian,Thomas Dominique Chung, David Cuerpo Jr. MC: Joe Ricci. Door: Kimi/Mary Lee.
