NBL!

Yea it was a success and it's only the beginning. As controversial as I thought it would be a lot of people came through to support. Wow! I was amazed. And people actually like the scoring system. Hehe. And some hate it. Well I want to learn more about it myself too. Since the NBL has been around for 4 years this is my first time doing an event for them as the New York division head.

As far as judging system I've worked with Dyzee's before (Super Naturalz). It was interesting and easier for me to judge. I know a lot of people disagree and don't understand what's going on. People are always scared of change. To me I think this would be a good idea and of course the system needs a little bit of adjustment. But we also had really respectable judges. I mean come on Break Easy, Kwik Step, and Problem Child. It was interesting to see how they would judge. I believe the highest score given was an 8, which was rarely. I glanced a few times and saw that the youngest one problem child was scoring the lowest. Even against his own crew! Other judges were throwing up 7's while he threw a six during one of problem's crews strongest rounds which impressed me a lot. Few judges can do that to their own crew. I think a judging system can ONLY work with QUALIFIED judges. Which the NBL plans to do. Only time will tell how they will determine that.

Right now it's good that people are discussing this. The NBL is not calling this a sport. They created their own category. Dance sport. It sounds funny but it's definitely not taking away from the cyphers and the art of it. But think about it, with a point system the audience would have to be educated about the dance to watch. So now they understand and get what's going on. Before they weren't interested because they never knew what was happening while it went on. I believe the people enjoyed it and made the best of it. This is a start and a change. Please don't be scared, but please add with constructive criticism. This is a bboy company doing it for the bboys. So let's see what's next. But once again, thanks for the support. And be ready for BBoy Massacre 6 August 13th. We got prelims in Sacramento, Atlanta, Raliegh, Rome and Miami all coming around the end of May and during June. Yeeeeeeaaaaaaa Boooooooy!
