JJF2016 in Tokyo

Juggling Battle
Jugglers face each other one-on-one in a battle format, juggling to music selected by the DJ. Jugglers will not know which songs will be played. The outcome is determined by a discussion by the judges and a show of hands, first with a preliminary round and then with a tournament style format.
