Battle rounds After the Blind auditions, each coach had 17 contestants for the Battle rounds, which aired from 19 August. Coaches began narrowing down the playing field by training the contestants with the help of "trusted advisors". Each episode featured battles consisting of pairings from within each team, and each battle concluded with the respective coach eliminating one of the two or three contestants; the nine winners for each coach advanced to the Sing-off Round.
