MotG 2011 - participating freestylers?

[Adi]

Fair enough... thanks for posting the info on here.

We will be VERY lucky if all 26 of these guys will make it. We have a pretty solid list of commitments. All we can do is take the guys word and help everyone as best we can... We have options for a competition with 24 Freestylers and one with 16+ Freestylers with a qualification round. We feel that if the guys on this list went through all the trouble to come to Abu Dhabi and pay their own #$% costs then they deserve the right to be in this competition. Its not complicated, its our way of thanking them for the effort and sacrifice. There will be a local competition for UAE freestylers and we will pick 1 or 2 freestylers from that competition. Its been the same for every other MotG competition. Guys say they are coming and some didn't make it and others did. But there is a BIG difference in costs to Amsterdam vs Abu Dhabi. MotG has never paid for the costs of any freestyler to be a part of any competition. We want a quality competition under the circumstances and want the best man to win. No one will be dropped, they will all get a fair chance and the jury will decide. In past competitions we had even more than 16 freestylers compete.

We respect the community, this is why we are posting this here and we know a lot of people are disappointed that the event is in Abu Dhabi. We are VERY happy with our partnership with Samsung. We are focused on making this event a success and we will see what the future will bring. That's it, nothing more to add...

So basically now it's an open competition like any other, just that it's in Abu Dhabi and with an actual prize. 

Are there any runner up prizes or just a 1st place prize?
