Basic Mechanics

The judging of a couple begins, when they adopt their dancing position and ends only when the music stops. The judge must check his or her marks during the entire dance and amend them if necessary.

If a couple stops dancing while the music is still being played, the couple must be placed last in that dance. If this happens during the final round, the couple must be placed last in that dance.

Couple must be judged solely on the performance in the specific dance at the specific time. Any consideration of titles, previous performance or performance in other dance is not permitted.

A judge is under no obligation to justify his/her marks to competing couples. During the competition, or in the interval between rounds of a competition, the judge is prohibited from any discussion about the competitors and/or their performance with any person.

In all dances, timing and basic rhythm will take precedence over the other fields of adjudication, so that if a couple repeatedly makes mistakes in this category, they must be placed last in the dance.
