International Regional Competition
The goal of the IJA Regional Competition (IRC) is to award high quality juggling routines that feature strong technique, creativity and entertainment value. It awards competitors who push the limits of juggling, while also maintaining a high level of presentation and professionalism.
The IRC Europe 2019 will take place on the 6th of August, at the European Juggling Convention (EJC) in Newark on Trent, England. Learn more about the EJC on their Facebook Page.

Diabolo Battle
Diabolo Battle - EJC Diabolo Battle is a competition created to determine who is the most exciting diaboloist at the European Juggling Convention.
This is NOT a sport-like competition, like the Fight night, this is a SHOW! We value creativity, skills, aesthetics, spectacularness, stage presence, humour... You will be able to watch or compete against the top world class diabolo players! From Taiwan, Malaysia, Japan, Latin America, you name it! When it comes to diabolo all of the player have the battle in their minds. You won't want to miss it!
Pump your skills, sharpen your combos, and come and participate! Or just come to watch the battle ensue in this friendly competition!
Classification:
Participants, one by one, are given 30 seconds/1 minute of time to perform tricks on stage. Judges then choose the most exciting 16 players which will then go through to the finals (you may need to battle in this phase, see the 2018 rules for details)
Top 16 Finals:
This is like a break dance battle. Two people are on stage, they have two rounds of 30 seconds (may change for some rounds), to perform tricks, and to just try to be cooler than the opponent. At the end of each battle, the jury decide who goes to the next round.
The Jury is always formed by diabolo legends and experts, and people from other disciplines.
