Manhattan Amateur Classic Rules & Regulations

SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL COMPETITORS AND COACHES

USA Dance has recently made extensive changes to its costume rules to conform with international rules. These new rules are much more restrictive than previous rules adhered to at the MAC. They especially affect syllabus dancers at ALL age levels and open dancers in the Junior I and lower age categories, who are no longer allowed to wear costumes. Please consult the USA DanceSport Rulebook for guidance. Excerpts from the costume rules, Section 3.10, are enclosed for your reference.     
			
			
1. All persons attending this competition as spectators, competitors, officials or guests shall be bound by USA Dance and USA DanceSport rules, and by their participation become obliged to adhere to them. The organizers of this event shall have no responsibility for loss or theft of personal articles. USA Dance, USA DanceSport or the rental facilities cannot be held liable for any injury sustained while in attendance at this event. Persons attending do so at their own risk. All Athletes may be subject to drug testing by the IDSF or USA DanceSport.
			
2. Competition open to USA Dance and IDSF members in good standing. Familiarity with all applicable USA Dance and USA DanceSport rules is presumed.
			
3. Competitors may enter the level they are qualified to dance or higher levels but never below their proficiency level. MAC is a Recognized Competition, and as such, participating Athletes are eligible to earn proficiency points in accordance with section 4.5 of the USA DanceSport Rulebook. USA DanceSport Rulebook, section 4.5.5, regarding Age Classifications shall apply. This rule does NOT apply to Masters of Syllabus; all couples are allowed to enter this level, and all couples in this level must dance only ISTD syllabus figures. There will be only ONE age category for Masters of Syllabus.
			
4. All categories and events are subject to registration and time availability, and the organizers reserve the right to combine or cancel them where necessary.
			
5. Students shall be defined as full-time elementary or high school students, undergraduates or graduates with a valid student ID.
			
6. All competitors are required to adhere to the dress code set forth in USA DanceSport Rulebook, section 3.10. Violations of the dress code may lead to a mark down of placement, expulsion or disqualification. A Costume Invigilator will be at the event to address all questions or issues that may arise with regard to dress code violations. The determinations, decisions, rulings and judgments of the Costume Invigilator shall be final. For competitors who enter events which prohibit costumes in one level or category but allow costumes in another, the organizers will not alter or modify the schedule to accommodate costume changes if time does not permit.
			
7. ALL EVENTS WILL BE STRICTLY INVIGILATED. Only ISTD syllabus figures will be permitted in syllabus events for International and American styles. The Invigilator shall be responsible for all decisions, determinations, rulings and judgments concerning syllabus infractions. The Invigilator’s decision shall be final.
			
8. The Chairperson of judges shall be responsible for decisions made with reference to problems in marking, ties or adjudication decisions. The Chairperson’ s decision shall be final.
			
9. No smoking will be allowed anywhere on the premises of the competition.
			
10. Refund policy: Competitors will not be allowed a refund of their registration fees unless a refund request is received in writing by no later than December 30, 2005. Requests received after that date will be considered solely at the discretion of the organizers.
			
11. Flagrant disregard of any rules and regulations will result in a mark down of placement or disqualification, where necessary or appropriate.

The organizers reserve the right to eject anyone from the premises for unruly conduct and for violating any of the above rules and regulations.
