2014

In 2014 Red Bull BC One took place in Paris, France with a round-by-round judging system used by Undisputed. The round-by-round judging format allows boys to see the judges decision after every round. The battle is set for 3 rounds (Finals is 5) but can end if a boy beats his opponent in 2.[21]

However, this judging system received a lot of criticism from Red Bull BC One fans throughout social media following the event. Bboys and fans alike, both disagreed with the judges's decisions after many individual battles.

Many argued that it was the worst Red Bull BC one competition since its initiation. Due to Menno's victory and Chelles Battle Pro, Gravity was awarded the final spot at Undisputed at the end of the year following Red Bull BC One.
