Holy crap. That Senior was a straight final, but in it you had the long-time US Senior I champions, the reigning and former Senior II...

I don't believe the list is published in advance, but you can call the organizer and ask, and now that entries are closed they will give you the...
Yep, and the parents in question won a second time on appeal. In a sad corollary: the Icelandic nationals were cancelled as a result of this....
No clue, most of this is not public information.
Could be. Bans right now seem to be about 6-9 months, so it would depend a lot on timing. Also note that the ban might be for one event, but if...
Presumably the next highest placed couples who (a) aren't banned and (b) have the right passport status (i.e. at least one of the partners holds...
Can't say for sure how many, but a number of the missing couples have done WDC-AL or other banned events, and may have just decided to stay out...
And WDSF has now added its own pro-am division, though they call it teacher-student. USA Dance made a big announcement about it in one of their...

In a word, no. Not sure at all. But it would be suicidal for them if/when they have to stick with WDSF and ban NDCA comps, etc. for their...
I might also add, USA Dance emailed something essentially identical to this a few months ago. It's not news, though I think the stuff about...
One small clarification for Competitors: dance wherever you want *in the US* and no *US* organization will bother you. WDSF, however, may, if...
Note, however, that WDSF, as distinct from USA Dance, does indeed restrict adjudicators and has banned some for doing non-WDSF sanctioned...
Don't remember the thread, but I'm fairly sure money and power battles are at the root of most of this, cynic that I am. And just to further muddy...
I think the rumblings about Blackpool boycotts and then the beginning of individual country amateur federations forbidding their couples to go...
The website you linked to above is mainly for the Freedom to Dance competition organized by Richard and Anne Gleave in England in May rather...
Yes, if one presumes that wearing a yellow sash = inciting disruption. I don't. And how do you define disruption, exactly? Daring to disagree...
That doesn't work for me as an explanation, nor do I think it's fair to insinuate that the couple involved didn't know precisely what they were...
Oops, sorry about that, not enough coffee before posting. I've added a note in the original post, don't seem to be able to edit the title.
