RULES
Here you will find all the information about the registration of your dance group/school, information about age categories and disciplines.
The organiser will also check the video you have uploaded (more information in the Registration section) and confirm whether you are registered for the correct discipline or suggest a more suitable one.
The aim is to have each dance choreography in the correct discipline and category before the start of the competition. This way, no additional changes will be necessary during the competition.
Age categories
In each age category, dancers 2 years younger or 2 years older can be included in one group.
However, these dancers may constitute no more than 50% of the dancers in the entire group.

EVALUATION
HOBBY
score from 4.0 to 6.0
BASIC
score from 6.0 to 8.0
PRO
score from 8.0 to 10
If you get a score different from the league you're competing in, you'll automatically move to the corresponding league for the Grand Final.
There are 3 judges in each semifinal, and their scores are added together to form the final score for the choreography.
There are 5 judges in the Grand Finale, after which the highest and lowest scores are discarded and the remaining scores are added together to form the final score for the choreography.
The top 3 places in each league and discipline qualify automatically, regardless of their score.
The other groups must wait until the last Czech semifinal in Litoměřice, which takes place on April 18th.
After each semifinal, we update the table with the scores and current rankings of each choreography in each league and discipline.
A maximum of 24 choreographies from a given discipline and league will qualify for the Grand Final.
If a given discipline and league has 3 first places in a given semifinal, the 3 choreographies with the highest number of points after all semifinals that did not place in the top 3 in the semifinal will also qualify.
If there are fewer than 3 choreographies in a specific discipline and league in a semi-final, the number of choreographies qualifying according to points will increase proportionally according to the "missing" places.
