B.C. Highland Dancing Association General Rules and Procedures

General Rules for Dance Competitions   At all competitions run under the Association dancers will dance in reverse order of enter, i.e. first to enter will be last to dance unless otherwise stated on the entry form.   Dancers must dance to pipers supplied by the dancing committee. Dancing committees must be careful to select reliable pipers for dancing.   All dancers must be registered with S.D.B.C., (ScotDance B.C.) or other registration scheme which is recognized by the S.O.B.H.D., (Scottish Official Board Of Highland Dance), prior to receiving awards.   Pre-Premier dancers who attain a first, second, or third placing must have their registration card stamped.   All scoring will be done as outlined by the S.O.B.H.D.   The competition committee may cancel or combine classes as deemed necessary.   The Association will not be responsible for ant accidents, injury or illness to competitors or spectators at any of its competitions.   All steps for Highland dance must be taken from the Official Text Book of the S.O.B.H.D. Rule of Courtesy   Parents must not approach Judges or Pipers during the competition. This asked, in all fairness to the Judges and Pipers, who have a difficult task to perform, and to give them every consideration.
