Night One: 16 teams perform 10-minute sets in front of a judges panel, scored on Show Quality, Team Work, and Originality/Theming. The top 9 teams move on automatically — joined by a 10th squad made up of the 4 best players from the teams that didn’t advance, a.k.a. the Wild Cardinals!
Night Two: Those 10 teams face off bracket-style, with the audience voting to decide who advances, until an official winner — and an MVP — is crowned.
