(1) All dance couples are eligible, teachers and non teachers alike.
(2) The current couple of BITW will not be eligible to compete in this year’s
event but could return the following year, they will be invited to judge this
years final.
(3) Couples, not singles who have been placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the following
National Jive Events are also illegible to compete. Chance 2 Dance (Blackpool)
UK Championships, CeRoc UK
Championships (London), BritRoc Championships (Brighton). Your honesty is
appreciated in this matter, we will not go searching through results, and you
know who you are. Please notethis is only at the highest level normally known as
the open championship or showcase.
(4) The LeRoc 2000 Championships is a locally based National
Jive Event and we do not wish to exclude local dancers from the "Best in the
West" Comp. So LeRoc 2000 medallists are available to compete.
(5) The completion will be judged by a panel chosen on the night of the dance;
if possible two teachers will make up the full panel of 8 to 10.
(6) The Event organisers (Dave & Katya) will not judge any Heat, Wildcard or
Final of BITW, they will choose the music, count the scores & announce the
results.
(7) A head judge will be chosen at random to confirm point’s totals.
(8) If two couples have the same point’s totals, the most number of 1st, 2nd,3rd
etc will be counted until a winner is found. This result will be made public as
a tie with a tie break winner.
(9) Points will be awarded over two dance tracks of which the competitors have
no pre track choice knowledge. Track speed will be in the range of 120-170 beats
per minute.

categories.

(11) Aerials are not banned but a max limit of 4 beats (half a bar) total
airtime per track will be allowed. Think of in a class when the beats are
counted 5-6-7-8, that’s it. Breaking this rule will incur a 24 point penalty or
equivalent to one judge giving a 6th place in all fourcategories. So if you feel
the WOW factor with the judges is worth the penalty, go for it. Note any contact
with any other competitor during an aerial will be deamed as the aerial couples
fault and cause disqualification.
(12) Total points will be added up and the lowest points total will be declared
first place & so on.
(16) The final will consist of all couples dancing to three tracks.
