Optional – Under
25’s
A
competition program is given to the instructor about a month prior to the
competition. This enables the instructor to ensure that the children are taught
their respective dances. Remember to always check to see if you are needed to
partner individuals.
Doors
Open – Starting Time – First Event
Generally
these times are 1 hour apart. The reason for the doors to open earlier is so
that the competitors can prepare themselves, ie: change into costumes, dance
shoes, find seats/tables, etc. before the commencement of events. It is always
best to arrive when the doors open because the Progressive Teams are always
danced first. Please don’t let other
members of the team down by arriving late.
Priorities
on Arrival
1.
Find where Seven Hills RSL has been allocated seating.
2. Check the running order
and identify which events you are to compete in. (Progressive Teams are always danced first).
3.
Obtain your competition number from the instructor/club
delegate.
Numbers
Male
– positioning is on the back, not to high, not to low, near the centre around the
shoulder blades.
Female
– (individual event only) as the number can be easily covered in different
dance holds, the best place is on the skirt about hip level and slightly to the
right.
Your
number must be visible to the Adjudicators.
Marshalling
Area
Competitors
are to report to marshalling a minimum of 3 events prior to their event. If you
do not report in time, it is at the compeers’ discretion whether to allow you
to dance.
Heats
and Finals
Different
events will attract a various number of entries. In most cases, 6 couples make
a final. The number of couples in a final will depend on several factors
including how many couples are in the event, floor size and time available.
It
is important to listen to the Compeer, as there may be times when rounds are
cut from the program.
Recall
Numbers
The
Compeer will announce the successful couples of a qualifying round; make sure
you are listening carefully.
The
Results
Most
competitions the results for the first half of the day will be called at the
end of the lunch break, and the second half will be announced at the end of the
day.
