TECHNICAL JUDGES' MEMBERSHIP

GOALS OF TECHNICAL JUDGES

Technical rules exist to maintain a high level of integrity in Dance Teams as a high school sport. Technical Judges have been put in place to help train and advise the DDCA Organization.

DDCA Technical Trainers will train Judges to observe routines during team performances each round of competition. Teams that have infractions at a competition during the dance season/year will be contacted by officials and assessed penalties. Repeat offenders may be at risk of losing their “good standing” with the DDCA and the OSAA.

It is the responsibility of each Coach to review and understand all of the technical rules and regulations. Coaches also need to make sure that all coaching staff/choreographers are made aware of these rules.
