Format:
Freestyle events: All events will be finals. If the groups are large enough, the event may be divided into preliminary rounds. Freestyle heats will be danced with all dancers competing in the scheduled style on the floor together for 90 seconds. Athletes will be competing within their registered couple category, experience level and age category, regardless of who else on the floor. The judges will determine the top three athletes for each style and dance, assigning 3 points for first, 2 points for 2nd, and 1 point for 3rd. Athletes will accumulate points for each dance they compete in and medals will be awarded based on total point score in each couple category, experience level and division. The judges will be judging the recipient.
Solo Exhibitions: Will be performed based on a predetermined schedule. Competing athletes must bring their own music on a CD or thumb drive and present it to the Music Director at the beginning of the ballroom competition (Athletes are solely responsible for ensuring that their music is on the CD/thumb drive and plays correctly). Solo exhibitions must be under 3 minutes long. Judges will score the solo dances based on 100-point system. Medals will be awarded based on the total points earned by experience level. The judges will be judging the recipient.
