The National Final
Sunday 11 October, 7pm to 1am, at Oxford Art Factory, 46 Oxford St, Darlinghurst.
Special guests DJ Beast Mode, Australia’s first DMC World Champion, and Total Eclipse of the X-Ecutioners. Both Australian champions head to the DMC World Finals in London from 12 to 15 November.
How the AlphaTheta People’s Choice is decided. Open Category only. Your site vote is the biggest part of the result, but YouTube views and comments on the elimination videos count too. We rank the Open DJs three times, once by site votes, once by YouTube views, once by YouTube comments. The top five in each list score 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points. Site votes are then multiplied by four, YouTube views by two and YouTube comments by one. The highest combined total takes the spot.
Site vote totals are live on the voting page. YouTube figures update once a day. The final reading is taken when voting closes and the full scorecard is published with the announcement on Sunday 20 September, in the same format as the judges’ scorecards.
If ranks are tied, the tie breaks on site votes, then views, then likes. If it is still tied, the judges decide. Votes we believe have been bought or generated automatically will be removed, and any DJ involved will be withdrawn from the AlphaTheta People’s Choice. YouTube is not a sponsor of this competition.
