In case you're wondering, there are a total of four rounds of Quarterfinals, with 11 acts in each round. The judging panel, which consists of Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and Mel B, has the power to send one act per round straight to the Finals with the Live Golden Buzzer, which means the remaining 10 acts will have to battle it out against each other for votes at the end of Tuesday night episodes. Eventually, the three acts with the highest number of votes will move forward to the Semifinal. During the Semifinals, the 12 acts will compete again to grab a spot in the finale, which will take place on September 24.
