TO QUALIFY

Teacher must have a minimum of 20 entries to qualify for either of the top teacher purses (i.e., min of 20 American Style entries to qualify for Sat. Top Teacher, 20 Int’l entries to qualify for Sun. Top Teacher.) It IS possible for the same teacher to qualify for and win prize monies on both days.

QUALIFYING ENTRIES ARE THOSE RECEIVED AND PAID FOR IN FULL NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 10, 2012 

 “Sharing” students does not qualify or allocate points for more than one teacher.
However, once a teacher qualifies points will accumulate from all the students with whom they dance.

Point allocation: Each entry = 1 point.  Multi-dance events are counted as 1 (one) entry.
