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. |

To be eligible for selection, a 10-Dance couple must have accumulated points in both Standard and Latin divisions. |
