TX v TITLE - TEAM SELECTION FINAL

So..... the Birmingham Squad has now been decided ... and it is TX that goes on to join the other 5 artists in the travelling squad going out to represent themselves and Birmingham in the all new Secret Wars Warriors Competition

Plenty heads came and supported their local artists on a chilly night in Digbeth.. BIG up to all of ya.... again a quality vibe, plenty of opinions flowing about ... and plenty new faces in the crowd too ..... all hype

Title dragged himself from his sick-bed, landed bang on time and got straight to work.... chucking up a character with his signature self-portrait face on a giant Judge Dread style robot body ..

...the ever confident TX went BIG straight up with an instant stab at Title's penchant for drawing his own face.. suggesting Title may be more at home on a sea front doodling characatures..




the night rolled on ... plenty of crowd interaction and banter from our man Keithy "Gun Noises" G ... with his ever present bottle of beer in hand .. >



BIG up Rob Skank yet again from The Bench 504 for his little box of goodies... which Slobz was well keen to get into as u can see..



BIG thanks to our judges... Rick from The Night Times ... and our guest MC "Suspekt" who both voted TX .. agreeing with the crowd .. to make it 3-0 .. TX goin into the BIG BRUM SQUAD



A great little tournament im sure all in attendance would agree ...

BIG up all the artists that fell...

BIG up the crowds that came n shouted n screamed their opinions ...

BIG up the DJs...

CONGRATULATIONS TX !!

WATCH OUT WORLD ... BIRMINGHAM IS COMIN FOR YA !!!

SECRET WARS NEW FORMAT LAUNCHING 2010

IMPORTANT NEWS!! OFFICIAL SECRET WARS UPDATES

EUROPEAN WARRIORS TEAM SERIES - 2010



-----



SECRET WARS IS RE FORMATTING AND ROLLING INTO 2010 WITH A DIFFERENT KIND OF CHALLENGE

After 3 and a half years of single battle series locally in over 20 countries, we have decided to try something different and potentially more exciting for 2010... Introducing the European Warriors series!

"When we started Secret Wars 3 years ago, it was influenced heavily by various things from the Marvel comic, to Warriors and Fight Club. After experiencing the team battles around the World and seeing the benefits of this compared to the singles battles, we decided on trying it as a complete 6-8 month series!"

"I have noticed the crowds are more vocal and patriotic towards team battles - there seems to be more at stake and I love watching the artists free-styling alongside each other.... You never know what will come out the other end!" Terry Guy (Founder of Monorex and Secret Wars)

The rules are the same but the structure of the competition and dynamics of the battle are slightly different - see below for details.

How the competition will work & when

There will be 8-10 teams/cities involved in next years competition, and each city will select 6 artists to part of a squad. Each team will select 2-3 wildcard entries consisting of previous champs and general bad boys! The remaining members will be picked at the local qualifiers.

City selection events - November / December 09 (Check Secret Wars website for dates)

• Each city will call out and actively invite people down to jam and show off their skills
• Draw will take place to decide what team is which group (A or B)

1st Round - Group league qualifiers

• Two groups of 4-5 teams with the top two teams qualifying
• Rather than a knockout cup comp, we have decided to make this a little more interesting and maybe fairer - Each game will be a league match with each judge vote and crowd vote worth a point!
• Each team will play home and away against the others in their group

Semi finals

With the top two teams going through from each group, we will be left with 4 teams.

The winner of GROUP A will play the 2nd place of GROUP B and the winner of GROUP B will play the runners up of GROUP A.

GROUP A WINNER vs. GROUP B RUNNER UP

GROUP B WINNER vs. GROUP A RUNNER UP

These will also be home and away ties - with the winning team decided on total points earned over the two games. If the points are level than it will be decided by the team who gets the most away points.

GRAND FINAL

This will be hosted at a neutral venue, TBC nearer the time
