Dress Code – Dress Code infringements are usually confined to the lower age groups. However, some adult Standard competitors have infringed the Dress Code rule recently. It should be noted that dress for Adult Standard male competitors is Black or Midnight Blue Tail Suit. Exemption from wearing a Tail Suit is granted to Beginner and Novice classes, where full competition dress is optional. Social Dancer competitors may not wear competition dress.

There have been complaints about unregistered people dancing in competitions and in order to prevent the confusion this causes it has been agreed, that on and from Sunday 23^rd September 2001 an IDSF registration card must be shown before an entry will be accepted in a competition and a number issued.

Recently a lot of inconvenience and unnecessary expense was caused when registration cards were lost. It has now been agreed by all boards that in the event of a person requiring a replacement card the following will apply;

(a) A charge of €12.50 will be levied in all cases. The duplicate card will not be handed over until this is paid.

(b) Responsibility for collection of the card will rest with the applicant.

From 17^th October 2001couples declaring to represent Ireland must have competed in 3 chart rated competitions before being eligible for selection. On participation in their third competition any points gained in the previous competitions will be counted in assessing their chart ranking.
