TROUPE AVERAGING FORM
DOC Troupe Challenge uses Age Averaging. To calculate the correct age category for your troupe,
please use the following format:
1. Add up all of the ages of the troupe members as at 1st January 2015.
2. Divide the total by the number of competitors in the troupe, dropping the decimal point.
3. Check that your oldest performers are not dancing lower than one age category down from their
actual age. e.g. Average troupe age is 12 but one troupe member is 18, then the troupe
must perform in 15 yrs and Under.
Note: Age Averaging has been introduced to benefit teachers by keeping competition teams together when
1 or 2 performers are just over the age limit. Any abuse of this system (including entering younger
performers who do not complete at least 60% of the dance in order to bring the age category down) will result
in disqualification.
Please list your troupe participants, their age totals and the age category entered:
