2023 UCWDC and ACDA Division Changes Completed
Following up on the prior emails, we have completed the updates to make all 2023 divisional changes for UCWDC and ACDA events available through online registration. This process has caused the site to be down today longer than intended, so we apologize for any inconvenience caused by that.
You should be aware of some changes that now apply to the online registration for contests:
Now that Mixed Role divisions are now sanctioned for Couples, Pro-am, and ProPro contests, registration for those contests will be contained within the same contest (no separate Contests for Open Role). If you were already registered in separate Open Role contests for 2023 events prior to these updates, your entries have been moved to the correct location.
Some divisions have been discontinued or "replaced" with new ones. We have modified your existing entries to match the 2023 rules.
Some Pro-am divisions have been split from Int/Adv into separate Intermediate and Advanced divisions. For those previously registered in Int/Adv divisions, we have modified your entries to Intermediate. If you should be moved to the Advanced group, please contact your Pro or Support for assistance.
UCWDC Couples "IV" divisions were replaced with "Newcomer I", and any existing entries were updated as such.
This list does not reflect the complete set of 2023 rule changes implemented, but rather highlights of the way they impact the online registration views. Please refer to the applicable Rules documentation for your organization for details on all division changes.
Please let us know if you identify any issues with your registrations or the updated online registration pages.
Thank you,
Country Dance Director Support
