Format changes

The Qualifiers are no longer held in the studio; instead, it was recorded in a warehouse with no live audience.[2] In addition, it was disguised as a final producers' auditions. Contestants learn that it is the Qualifiers only upon entering the audition room.[3]

The scoring system was abolished in favor of votes. Contestants need at least two yeses to proceed to the Duels. Judges may also cast a callback vote which gives the contestants a final chance to perform again to advance to the Duels.[3]

The team divisions have now been merged within the Junior and Upper divisions so There are now only 2 divisions; Junior Division and Upper Division.

In the Duels, contestants no longer choose their opponent. Instead, the judges pick who they are battling and is revealed only upon entering the room. Moreover, a guest judge picks who will perform head-to-head in the Redemption Duels.[3]

The Qualifiers

The Qualifiers started on May 26, 2020. In season 4, the contestants need to get at least 2 yeses to advance to the Duels instead of the judges scoring the points to the contestant. Contestants who are given a callback vote are given another chance to perform.
