Crew VS Crew Competition
Battle of the Year, commonly referred to as BOTY, is an annual international breakdancing series that began in 1990. It is a crew (as opposed to individual) competition. Regional qualifying tournaments, also known as preliminaries, are held worldwide culminating in the BOTY International, the world finals event which was held at the Volkswagenhalle in Braunschweig, Germany until 2009. 


In 2010 the world finals event will take place in Montpellier, France. Battle of the Year is widely regarded as the premier b-boying tournament in the world,frequently referred to as the "World Cup of B-Boying’’ Battle of the year creates "spaces for a globalization at the bottom, bringing people together across the barriers of geography, language, and race "Benson Lee filmed a documentary on the Battle of the Year called Planet B-Boy which gives a point of view on what type of people take part in the Battle of the Year. "BOTY becomes more and more international and that means more and more popular. So the capacity of the venues grows and every year there are some more key men in the BOTY-team. 


One of their aims is to integrate young and motivated people. And it's necessary to do it because it is getting harder and harder to fulfill all the claims".
