Organisers of Juste Debout have announced a change to battle pairings at the world finals following a new ballot system to pair up countries in a tournament structure.

The system has changed from its traditional pairing for the Juste Debout Final in Paris which fell in the same order as of the qualifiers.

Following a draw in Paris at the Retour Vers la Culture party organised by Juste Debout the pairs for the first round of the 2013 finals were chosen using a ballot process which should apply to all the dance styles.
