World DJ Championship Rules - Who Can Enter?
Competitors must be bona-fide nationals in their country of entry or be able to prove that they have resided in that country for a minimum of 6 years. This ruling excludes TEAMS who may feature international DJ partnerships.
DJs can come from any Nation in a team providing at least one of the DJs in the line-up is from the country in question.
In the event that no Team Championship is being held in a particular country then a team based in that country is free to contact DMC UK for direct entry to the World Finals. This will be by way of video entry and teams accepted this way are responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses.

Defaulting

If the breakdown is deemed to be through the DJs own faulty set up, they will be allowed to recommence their performance from the point of the breakdown.
