Event Directors
Attention Event Directors!
If you're considering adding the Hustle Dance Tour to your next event, you're in the right place. Please first read the Rules to gain an understanding of how the divisions, contest rules, and the awarding of points are handled. Then read or download the Requirements below. When you're ready to add your event, fill out the Application Form. A Hustle Dance Tour Board member will contact you to confirm everything.
Requirements:
Event Structure
-
If an event has less than 25 contestants, that year’s results will still be posted and the appropriate Registry points awarded; but the event will lose its Registry Event status. -
However, the event may petition to the HDT Board of Directors to maintain /continue their Registry Event status and have a one (1) year probation to build their competitor base above the required minimum. -
If, after the probation year, the event still has less than the required minimum number of competitors, the event will not be renewed as a Registry Event. The probation year’s event results would still be posted and appropriate Registry points awarded. The event could reapply for Registry Event approval in the future, if it were to consistently reach the 25 contestant minimum; but the event would be subject to the new event approval process.
-
A one week change, earlier or later, than an event’s traditional weekend is acceptable without HDT Board of Directors approval. Events that are tied to a specific date or holiday may freely float between the weekend before or after that specific date, dependent upon which day of the week that specific date falls in any given year. -
A change of venue within the same metropolitan area (and within a reasonable distance) shall not be considered a change in location.
-
