How It Works
Each troupe gets 18-20 minutes per set and three troupes perform on each show. The audience votes for their favourites, with the team that finishes in first place getting 10 pts., second place getting 5 pts. and thid place getting 1 point. In the event of a tie, teams will get 7 pts if they’re in first or 3 points if they’re in second.
At the end of the season, the top placing teams will enter into a playoff round. The competition's winner will receive an exciting prize of $250 and 4 FREE 9:30pm production slots over 4 months — a total value of $610.
