    • 3.5 Once nominated each participant is obliged to enter the competition and pay the relevant fees, unless they cancel at least 48 hours prior to the start of the tournament.

      The rule that there is a deduction of points based on missing dancers in a formation on a stage was removed. (previously §7.4.3)

      On competitions that span over two or more days, all dancers, if they are announced on one of the competition days at least, must have free access to the competition hall also on the day they are not competing (decision No.32 from the Presidium Meeting on 22.05.2022)
    • 8.2 The couples will be ranked in descending order of their total of points, the first being the one that totals the most points, and the last being the one that totals the least.
    • 8.2.1 Fluent Ranking lists: …
      The points awarded at the end of the World Cup Final are not counted in this ranking.
      Because not all couples can participate in World Cup Final, points awarded from the results of this competition will note added in the Fluent Ranking List.
    • 8.2.2 World Cup Ranking lists: …
      If less than four (4) World Cup competitions are offered in the year in a category, all the results of the year are taken into account in the total of points.
      If four (4) or more World Cup competitions are offered in the year in a category, all the results of the year except one (the one for which the couple got the lowest number of points) are taken into account in the total of points.
      The points awarded at the end of the World Cup Final will be multiplied by factor two (2) (double points).
      These points awarded at the end of the World Cup Final are added to all other points and, together with previous points, used to determine the final placement in this ranking. (and its associated table of examples)
