could or might (not a definite) be invited to battle in the US Finals
at their own expense. DJs can use their own mixers only to battle in
the US Finals (not the regionals). The 2009 DMC US Champion will
advance to the 2009 DMC World DJ Championships in London England on

DJ computer programs are not permitted in this battle. Each DJ must
bring his/her own headphones, slipmats, needles, records etc.
Competitors must be bona-fide nationals in the United States of or be

many as 6 Technics turntables and no more than 4 mixers. Teams are
permitted to use computer programs such as Serato Scratch Live. All
teams must bring any and all cables they will need for their battle.
Each DJ must bring his/her own headphones, slipmats, needles, records

the DJs in the line-up is from the USA. The US Team will advance to the
2009 DMC World Team Battle in London England on Sept. 11th, 2009.
Prizes to be announced.



* Note: We are not against other mixers it's simply that some DJs take
so long to switch out their mixers that valuable battle time is lost.
If the pros who make it to the US Finals want to bring their own
mixers, that is fine.
