*Update: The explanation of the policy has been updated below for clarity*
Some have asked about entry fees for the UBEA State Title Match and Timpanogos Dancesport Festival, as they are on the same weekend and at the same venue. For the purposes of entry fees, the two competitions will be treated as one. For example, a couple that enters up to 3 categories across both events would only have to pay a total of $10 ($10 for the first three events) instead of $20 ($10 for the first three events for each competition). Another example would be that a couple who entered the same 2 events at each competition would have a total of 4 events entered and the registration fee would be $15.
The competition organizers hope this will help dancers who would like to compete in both competitions.
For questions, contact Shayla Kennington.
