🎉 Division Rules Changes for 2025! 🎉
We’re excited to share some updates to our divisions starting next year:
👉 First Season Division: First Timers and Beginners are merging! This new division is for competitors competing in their first season in any federation.
👉 Novice Division: Previously called Intermediate, this division is for competitors who haven’t won a division with more than three competitors (except First Season) in an equal or higher-level competition. Wins at State shows don’t affect eligibility for Nationals.
👉 Standardized Age Divisions: Age groups will now be consistent across all categories:
🔹Under 25
🔹Under 30
🔹Over 30
🔹Over 40
🔹Over 50
⚠️ Rules Reminder:
🔸You can’t compete in two “Under” divisions (e.g., Under 25 and Under 30).
🔸“Over” divisions are based on your age at the time of the show (e.g., 30-year-olds qualify for Over 30).
