ELITE
In any level, category, or performance division, even if there is no competition, routines are still assessed based on adjudication scores to determine 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. Therefore, even if a routine is the only one in its category, it still needs to meet the required score to obtain its placement. This means that your choreography will not automatically receive a 1st place if it is the only routine in its category.
NEW THIS YEAR
In the solo division the 10 highest scores of the competition will be awarded.
