QU: Can I compete in more than one division of the ASC?

ANS: Yes. Contestants can compete in a total of two divisions as long as one of these is the Teams division and the relevant registrations fees are paid for both divisions.

For example, you can not compete in two different teams or in the Professional Couples On1 division twice with two different partners or in both the Professional Couples On2 and the Cabaret Divisions, or in the Youth and the Amateur divisions etc.


QU: Do I have to qualify at my resident State Title?

ANS: Professional On1 Couples, Professional On2 Couples and Amateur Couples must all qualify by winning either 1st, 2nd or 3rd place at their resident State Title.

Division 1st place winners from the 2009 ASC Finals gain direct entry to the 2010 ASC Finals as long as couples remain with the same partners. Competitors competing in the Cabaret, Youth and Teams divisions need not pre-qualify at the State Titles.
