12) Should a dancer lose a heel or a complete shoe or have an open lace, he/she may stand back, allowing the
other dancer(s), where applicable, to continue dancing uninhibited.
In such a case the dancer concerned will be permitted to re-dance as soon as it is deemed practicable by the
stage personnel.
13) No liability is accepted by the organising committee for any injury caused to any person, including but not
limited to, competitors, however caused and whether or not caused by the negligence or default of the
organising committee, its servants or agents. The lodgment of an entry will be deemed to be an acceptance
of this provision.
14) Should a dancer fall, slip or bump into another dancer on stage, whether in solos or in teams, the adjudicator
MUST ring the bell thereby stopping the performance of all dancers on stage. Dancers so affected will be
permitted to redance and will be marked then at the discretion of each individual adjudicator.
15) Should in the opinion of the Stage Personnel (in consultation if deemed necessary with medical personnel)
a dancer be unfit to re-dance, and if such dancer insists on performing the dancer concerned will only be
permitted to re-dance on completion of a formal declaration which removes the organising committee of
any liability. Any repeat accident/ incident which results in that dancer being unable to complete the required
number of bars in any round, will result in the dancer withdrawing without question from the championship.

16 bars of that dance again at a time convenient to both the dancers and the stage stewards.

be marked for that particular dance.
18) If at any stage during a performance on stage an adjudicator feels that, due to the health and safety of a
performer on stage that the performance should be stopped, the adjudicator must ring the bell.
19) Respect for fellow competitors on stage is a requirement at all times. Lack of respect or courtesy for fellow
competitors by aggressive dancing on stage will be subject to penalty at the discretion of each individual
adjudicator.
20) The light rounds from 10 yrs upwards will be danced 2 at a time and the heavy rounds will be danced
2 at a time from 10 yrs upwards if time permits. All other age groups will dance 3 at a time.
