19 formations from 11 countries have entered the championship, 14 advanced to the semi-final, and 6 danced the final in a sold out Volkswagen Hall. It was past midnight when the panel of seven judges finallly held up their cards with the placing for each of the six formations. 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2 read those of the team Germany I, BTSC Braunschweig. Unanimuos decision - well, almost!
