Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions regards to FUYO Inter-School competitions.

Q: "Why is it FUYO Inter-School and no longer Floor Skillz Inter-School?"
A: With the withdrawal of Verveparade from organising its annual international Floor Skillz Asia, the intellectual property of registered brandname "Floor Skillz" is not to be used in any B-boying / Breakdancing events until further notice and settlement from Verveparade.
Q: "Can students from different schools join together as a team?"
A: Nope.
Q: "We're all from the same Cluster / Zone / International / Islamic Religious / etc, can we join together?"

Q: "What is the reserve member for?"
A: In the event of an injury or any other form of activity induced during the course of Floor Skillz Inter-School on 7th Febuary 2009 that renders one of the three starting members unable to continue participation, the reserve member is able to replace this member.
Q: "Can we interchange the 3 members with the reserve throughout the competition like substitution?"
A: Once the reserve member comes into play and participates in ANY battles, no other substitution is allowed, even if the original team member recovers and is able to participate.
Q: "I was from XX XX XXX School in 2008 and am waiting to go into another school this 2009. Can I still participate as XX XX XXX School with my friends?"
A: No Alumnis are allowed. As of 2009, Floor Skillz Inter-School strictly enforces the rule that every individual team member of a team MUST be of the SAME school, and are current students of that school as of 7th Febuary 2009. Unless the individual is able to seek approval / permission / letter / proof from XX XX XXX School that he/she is still a student of that School.
Q: "I was from a school in 2008 and am waiting to go into XX XX XXX School this 2009. I have been accepted into XX XX XXX School, but am not schooling there yet. Can I join?"
A: Same as the previous answer, unless the individual has proof of admission into that school, such as a letter of admission, etc, he/she cannot join Floor Skillz Inter-School as an unconfirmed student of XX XX XXX School.
Q: "Where do I get the tickets for this event from?"
A: Door sales open at 7th Febuary 2009 6pm. No pre-sale tickets are needed. Please do not purchase any other unauthorized tickets from any individual / organization.
Q: "Can I have a discount / free entry because I'm from XXXX School?"
A: Admissions are all strictly SG$15.00 for spectators and SG$20.00 for teams. Upon request, an official letter from FUYO Productions is available for students who wish to have their schools rememburse their admission fees after the event. Students need to pay for their own entry first, before the official letter can be emailed to them on a later date.

A: With only Pioneer STEEZ Natasha Studio sponsoring this event, any other Dance Studio will not have a discounted / free entry.
Q: "Can foreign teams from Malaysia / Thailand / etc join?"
A: Sadly, no. Due to the objectives of Floor Skill Inter-School, only local (Singapore) Schools registered with MOE can participate in the competition. But foreign teams from other countries are encourage to join in the cyphers, with possible exhibition battles upon request and prior planning.
Q: "ehh..... Is this competition by all or by category?"
A: There's no division of levels, such as Division C, Division B, Division A, Open etc. As long as you're in a School recognised by MOE, there's even possibility that a university team may go up against a primary school team.
Q: "My school only has myself and another bboy/bgirl. Can we join as two members only?"
A: Yes. Joining with only two members will self-impose a handicap on your team. Team payment will still stand at SG$12.00/team and rounds per battle will stands the same. Good luck with 2 members.

A: Nope.
Q: "I would like to sign up for the Seven2Smoke, where do I go to sign up?"

Q: "How many B-boys and B-girls will be selected for Seven2Smoke"
A: Only EIGHT B-boys / B-girls will be selected for Seven2Smoke
Q: "What is Seven2Smoke?"
A: Basically, its a 1v1 winner-stay-loser-out battle, whereby the winner is either the person who won SEVEN 1v1 battles in a row, or with the most wins (and straight wins) within a timespan of 15minutes.

Hope to see Singapore's schools to represent!
