Year 2013: After the first Competitive Breakin Tournament with painters tape on the floor. Antonio observed that the kids actually were following the rule of turns which became the first rule.

He would call it "The Box" Competitive Breakin' Arena for the sport.

2013-2014: Once the concept was created, it now had to be studied to find suitable size. The rule of outs was born. The scoring system was updated based on data.
