WSDC REGISTRY "NEW EVENT" APPLICATION

Please note: In addition to the rules below, these requirements must be met.

  • Must have 120 competitors (not unique).
  • Must have a minimum of two Tier 2 Divisions.
  • Must have a minimum of 8 Jack & Jill preliminary judges (4 for each role).

Non-Registry Events must submit their application a minimum of six (6) months prior to running a Trial Event. The Trial Event must be run within the WSDC Rules (as if it were a WSDC Registry Event):

  • It must be a 3-day dance event.
  • Open to everyone (not a local or regional event).
  • All contests must follow WSDC rules for structure, staffing, and scoring.
  • The event must be of sufficient size, scope, and structure to warrant WSDC Registry Event status.
  • Points will not be awarded to competitors at a Trial Event.
  • Once the Trial Event takes place and data has been submitted to WSDC, the board will vote on whether to approve or disapprove the event for WSDC Registry Event status.
  • Once the trial event is approved as a registry event, please go to our website and fill out the event update form so we can add it to our website’s calendar at www.worldsdc.com/submit-event-updates/
  • Trial Events may need more than one year of history to be of sufficient size and scope to determine their viability to apply for Registry Event status.

Existing member event owners wanting to add an additional Registry Event shall also (in addition to the event having its minimum one year of history) demonstrate a minimum level of size/scope in their initial competitors and have a minimum of three (3) WSDC Jack & Jill divisions, to be eligible for applying for an additional Registry Event.

An event is approved as a Registry Event with its specific Owner/Promoter, for a specific Time Frame, for a specific Location, based on its specific Structure/Staff/Offerings/Activities, etc., as demonstrated by its minimum year of history. Any changes to any of those criteria may require an event to have another year of history, to demonstrate that the next mix of criteria are viable.

Please read the Rules, before filling out the WSDC Registry New Event Application Form below.

If you have any questions, please contact Yvonne Antonacci, President,

World Swing Dance Council
