Rules Judging

We have a wide range of categories for you to enjoy. Some categories are divided into different levels to give more people a chance to make finals and perhaps gain a placing.

Each day is self contained meaning you can join us for one day or for all three.

With or Without a Partner?

It can be hard to find a partner and so we have two categories where you don't need one.

Category No Partner
DWAS ✔️
Lucky Dip ✔️

Alternatively use our unique Find a Partner page to see who else is looking for a partner.

Levels Within Categories

By splitting categories into levels you get more chances to progress through the competition.

Some categories can be split further into single level events or into events where the sum of the levels of each partner determines the event they enter.
