Sweet and Sour gained the highest score over the entire night, including the Adults division, scoring 89.23 out of 100. This accomplishment ranks Sweet and Sour as the top Hip Hop crew in New Zealand and allows them to compete at the official "World Hip Hop Championships" held in Las Vegas in July 2008.

Though Sweet and Sour has a high profile in the local community, it is going to be a struggle to raise the $50,000 it takes to get to Las Vegas, USA. In order to obtain these funds Sweet and Sour are planning on running dance workshops, touring a Hip Hop production around the Auckland and Waikato region, and continuous performances at local events, also we are finding sponsors/funding to help contribute towards our journey to the World Champs.
