Season 2 received a 16 - episode order, six more than the ten - episode first season. Additionally, this season, a fourth category, Junior Team, was added for acts under 18 with 5 or more members. The qualifier rounds are cut down from a two minutes to an one - minute routine. The Duels are cut down from two minutes to a  ́ 80 seconds  ́ - routine. The top three highest - scoring acts in The Cut from each division will move on to the Divisional Final, in last season it was just the top two. Show concept In preparation for season two, handpicked competitors, being talented in any styles of dancing, from qualifying events around the nation and thousands of online submissions, are divided into four divisions : Junior ( groups of 1 - 4, under 18 ), Upper ( groups of 1 - 4, 18 and older ), Junior Team ( groups of 5 +, under 18 ) and Upper Team ( groups of 5 +, 18 and older ). In some cases dancers who did n't apply were directly contacted by the producers or their agents. The elimination process of the contestants are in four rounds : The Qualifiers - The contestants have to qualify with at least 80 points to make it to The Duels. The Duels - The contestants choose their opponent starting with the highest scorer from the qualifiers. If the number of contestants in a division is uneven, the last duel will be competed by the three remaining opponents that were unpicked previously. The winner of the duel is the contestant / s with the highest score who then move on to The Cut. The Cut - Mentors are assigned to each division to prepare the contestants for their performances. The top three scoring acts in each division move on to The Division Finals. The Division Finals - The mentors still support the contestants from each division. The top scoring act in each division will become division champion and move on to The World Final. In The World Final all four division champions will compete for the $1,000,000 USD grand prize. It is expected that the concept of last season is copied ; every contestant will perform twice in two separate rounds. The average score of both rounds by each contestant will make their final score. The contestant ( s ) with the highest final score will be crowned World of Dance champion 2018 and will win the $1,000,000 USD grand prize. Scoring The judges are scoring in 5 categories.
