APPENDIX 3: Ratings Rules for Championship Category

  1. The calculated ratings are used to determine who is eligible to represent
    B.C. in the Canadian Standard, Latin and 10-Dance Amateur Championships.
    These ratings are independently calculated for the Standard and Latin divisions
    and combined to calculate for the 10-Dance division.
  2. Points are awarded to DanceSport BC registered couples who reach the final
    of DanceSport BC-recognized competitions as follows:

    Score Placing
    6 DanceSport BC couple placing 1st
    5 DanceSport BC couple placing 2nd
    4 DanceSport BC couple placing 3rd
    3 DanceSport BC couple placing 4th
    2 DanceSport BC couple placing 5th
    1 DanceSport BC couple placing 6th
  3. For the Standard and Latin divisions, a couple’s best four results in the
    past ‘rating year’ in each division are added together to determine the total
    rating for the couple. Thus a maximum of 24 points (4 x 6) is possible. For
    the 10-Dance division, a couple’s best four results in both the Standard
    and Latin division are added together to determine the total rating for the
    couple. Thus a maximum of 48 points (4 x 6 Standard and 4 x 6 Latin) is possible.
  4. To be eligible for selection, a 10-Dance couple must have accumulated points
    in both Standard and Latin divisions.
  5. The ‘rating year’ is the 12 month period ending with the most recent DanceSport
    BC-recognized event.
  6. In the event of a tie in the ratings in either the Standard, Latin division
    or in the 10-Dance division, all events during the last ‘rating year’ shall
    be used, and the couple with the most points will be the official B.C. representative.
  7. If one couple is ranked first in both Standard and Latin divisions, and
    two different couples are ranked second in each division, and all three couples
    wish to attend the Canadian Closed Championship, then the following rules
    apply:

    1. The first ranked couple shall be the first official BC representative
      and shall receive funding as per established DanceSport BC rules provided
      that the board may take into consideration the additional expenses required
      by this couple and grant additional funding at its discretion.
    2. Any DanceSport BC funds set aside for the second official representative
      shall be distributed equally between the two second place couples, AND
    3. Any funding from external sources, shall likewise be divided equally
      between the two couples in question.
    4. This Section 7 is not applicable to the 10-Dance division.
