The nation's biggest DJ Battle, the DMC US DJ Championship went down in Denver Colorado at the flyest nightclub: Temple: Denver!

Thanks to presenter Kyle Montoya from Mile High DJ Supply. Not only did he supply most of the gear for the battle, he did it up bigger than ever by inviting JB Applications to bring in their giant LED wall!

Judging:

There are no eliminations at the DMC US Finals national level. The nine 2018 DMC US Regional Champions plus 2018 DMC US defending champion: DJ Throdown each performed a 6 minute routine for the judges.

Judges selected their top 3 winners.

1st place = 3 points. 2nd place =. 2 points. 3rd place = 1

1st place: DJ Throdown: 3 + 3 = 6

2nd place: Toltech: 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

3rd place: Ragoza: 2

4th place: Dopez: 2

5th place: Ambideckstriks: 1 + 1 = 2

As you can see Throdown and Toltech tied for 1st. Throdown had more first place (3) points so he was crowned the champ. Third place as well had a clear tie with Ragoza and Dopez each receiving one second (2) place point from one judge each. To resolve this, all three judges were summoned to discuss who would place 3rd. 2 out of 3 judges voted for Ragoza, leaving Dopez to place 4th and Ambideckstriks to place 5th.

We often argue about judging after the fact. We had 3 judges, for which I was grateful. If Qbert had judged, one can only guess how he would have scored. Would he have favored a more scratch heavy set? Would he have favored the strongest scratcher? If Precision had made it to Denver as he had planned, how would he have voted? The entire outcome could have been different with the addition of two other champion judges. I know people want there to be criteria for the DMC DJ battles but DMC founder: Tony Prince says there’s no criteria. Each judge makes his/her best decisions.
