It was announced in September that the event would be held entirely online due to the coronavirus pandemic. There’s already a whole lot of submission material from the pre-finalist participants on the official site.
How it works this year
Every country with a ruling DMC governing body is hosting its Online National Championships while all the other countries are competing in a "Rest of the World" battle. The National Championships performance has a duration of four minutes.
