SOUTHERN ENGLAND REGION
PRELIMINARY CHAMPIONSHIP RULES
Effective from January 1st 2015
19
20
21
22
If a dancer wins ONE Preliminary Championship from 1st
January, they are no longer eligible to enter a Preliminary
Championship for the remainder of that year or the following
calendar year.
A dancer is not eligible to enter a Preliminary Championship if
they have been placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in an Open
Championship from 1st January in the previous year or within
the current calendar year. Once a dancer qualifies for
Oireachtas Na Cruinne, they must not enter a Preliminary
Championship. They may not compete in Preliminary
Championships in the year that they are eligible to dance at
Oireachtas Na Cruinne, and the following calendar year.
Dancers who qualify for Oireachtas Na Cruinne, are an
exception to the rule where they may have automatically
qualified due to low entry levels at their Regional Oireachtas.
These dancers may remain in the Preliminary grade, if they so
wish, until such time they win out of the grade.
Competitors can only dance in either Preliminary or Open
Championship, they may not compete in both.
If a dancer wins a Preliminary Championship where there were
5 or fewer dancers in the competition, the dancer will still be
eligible to enter a Preliminary Championship.
PLEASE NOTE
23
The points above apply when a dancer competes from Under
10 and upwards. A dancer who has been placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd
in an Open Championship in the age groups below Under 10,
will be eligible to compete in Preliminary Championships.
