2013 Fall Conference | MOTION #15 (2013 Pre-FTM Proposal 4) |
Karen Gratton proposed that the level an athlete/duet/group competes in at their Provincial W/C event, is the level they must compete in at the Canadian W/C event. If, during or after the Provincial Winner Event, a Level BN or BI athlete/duet or Level B group receives an advancement score, they must remain in the lower level until after the Canadian W/C Event. If a Level BN or BI athlete/duet/group chooses to compete in the higher division at any open competition that is held between their Provincial W/C Event and the Canadian W/C event, they relinquish their qualifying spot at the Canadian W/C Event in that event. An athlete/duet/group that chooses to enter and compete at a higher level, however, is still eligible to enter the Open Competition held in conjunction with the Canadian W/C Event. Athletes/duets/groups that are not competing in that event at the Canadian W/C event, must advance to, and compete in, the higher level at the next open competition they enter. CLARIFICATION: This shall replace Motion #12 of the 1999 SBM. |
