Dear Members, Dancers, Officials, Trainers
Below you can find some important information for the year 2020!
1. REGISTRATION OF DANCERS, COUPLES AND FORMATIONS
Like previous years, we have opened the Fast Registration Protocol (FRP), where you will have the opportunity to register your dancers, couples and formations in one package:
The address is www.wrrc-registration.com
The fast registration process is the same as in previous years, so you can start using it at once. On the front page of the Registration tool, there is a short description of the procedures. Please read it carefully and proceed as instructed there.
When deciding to delete a couple or a dancer please make sure you don’t want to see the data anymore in the database. If the couple/dancer/formation is not active, just leave them without registration and they will not be visible on the active sides, but they will remain in the database
The FRP will be active until 10.02.2020. After that, the process will be closed and you will need to reactivate the remaining dancers one by one. After the FRP is closed you will be able to add new dancers, couples, formations and register your team members for competitions that follow in 2020.
After the FRP is closed, you will be also able to start using the registration of acrobatic elements for the Main Class Free Style and Main Class Contact Style Couples. There were some changes in the values of the acrobatic elements in all classes, so we will delete all previously stored acrobatic programs. Please make sure that you register the programs for couples MCFS and MCCS, as well as for Formations Main Class before you make the announcement on the competition in Ljubljana (18-19.04.2020)!
