Straight information about ABDC Season 3

Some info, straight from a conversation with an MTV rep, regarding Season 3 of America's Best Dance Crew:

• As earlier announced, there will be no audition special with eliminations. So, the crews that are picked now will be the crews that perform on the first show
  
• Final decisions on the 9 crews that will compete in Season 3 should be made VERY soon (nothing more specific!)
  
• Current plans are to announce the names of the 9 crews to the public sometime late in December 2008, though this could change
  
• In the meantime, please do not reveal the name of a crew that has been picked for Season 3. It doesn't matter if you're the crew member or a friend, relative, or acquaintance. It doesn't matter if it's on Youtube, Facebook, Myspace, or other on-line site or anywhere else in the media. Let MTV make the announcement please!
  
• If your crew has not been chosen, feel free to share the information and any comments or insights. There are dozens of amazingly talented crews that won't appear on ABDC this season, so you shouldn't be disrespected for it.
