You can earn points in three different ways for each competition category you compete in:

• Entering
• Progressing
• Placing

1. Entry Points

Everyone gets these just by entering!

We figure that turning up and giving it a go deserves some merit so the entry points recognise the experience you gain just by being there

You don't have to win a trophy or medal to keep growing as dancer

2. Progression Points

Some categories are huge and have pre-quarter finals where getting to the semi-final is still a big achievement, whereas other categories could be a straight final

We want reward you for getting through each round and making progress through the competition!

Affiliated competitions only (see below)

3. Placing Points

Finally, if you make it up onto the podium then we give you a few more points for placing

There must be be a minimum number of entries otherwise Entry Points apply

These points are added together to give your total for each category you enter:

If you enter a number of categories only the one with the most points will count towards your total - this is called the Highest Points Path.

The dual role support means that you can have a separate Highest Points Path for leading and following 🙂

Only affiliated competitions have progression points. This is because the MJPI extracts information from the competition scoring system to keep a note of how far you progress in each round.
