AVERAGE AGE DETERMINATION
Average age is defined as the contestant’s age as at December 31, 2011.
All Solos will compete in their age category. Duet/Trios will average the age of the participants and drop the decimal. For group categories, average the ages of all participants in that routine and drop the decimal point. i.e. average age 12.8, round down to 12. Contestants must be able to provide proof of age at competition if requested. If proof of age is requested and not provided, the routine will be disqualified and no refund issued.
