O’Rama Regional Cup

The O’Rama Cup is a Regional House Cup designed to encourage fun participation in all aspects of the event.  How much you get into it is TOTALLY OPTIONAL…

What’s at stake?
Glory.
Bragging rights.
An utterly ridiculous giant trophy I found that will have the winning Region on it from each year.
Also a smaller and slightly more travel friendly (but still ridiculous looking) trophy for the winning region to take home and keep.
And we throw the names of everyone from the winning region in a drawing for a bunch of event passes.
But really it’s just about the fun of participating.

*New in 2023 and continuing for 2024*
This year we’ve turned the Regional Cup into a J&J and created Alliances by pairing every California Team with a Non-California Team!

• Individual Regions will still have their own facebook groups, and dancers will still register for the individual region. But the towels are joined together, the 2 teams will be next to each other in the ballroom, and the placement in the O’Rama cup will be together. Basically like a J&J finals.
• Please select a Regional team to join at SwingDancer.Org.  This does NOT need to be based on where you live, you DON’T need to stay sitting with the group the whole weekend, and if you don’t want to be assigned to one or you can’t decide you can select Unassigned.
• Click on a Regional Team below to be taken to their Facebook group (please only join the group of the team you will be on…no spying hahaha). 
• Each Alliance has rally towels provided by sponsors from the regions…here are the Alliances and Sponsors below!

You earn points for your team via…

• the Carlito Challenge, Enter as many divisions as possible, take workshops, and stay out until the end of late night dancing to earn your team points!
• the Cheering Challenge on Saturday night!
• If any teams look super awesome during the #WestieRave glow party I’ll probably give extra points for that too.  Not sure how many…more than 10 but less than 100…depends how awesome I think you look.
• All of the event staff can give or take away 1 to 15 points to/from ANY TEAM, at ANY TIME, for ANY REASON…EXCEPT STRAIGHT BRIBERY hahaha.  Did you nail that footwork in Sean and Alyssa’s class?…3 points to your team.  Were you late for All American?…negative 5 points to your team. Did Cameo love her social dance with you?…10 points to your team. Did Forrest notice that you social danced more than anyone Friday night?…10 points to your team.  Did one of our DJs watch you have a rockin fun dance with a beginner?…8 points to your team.  Did someone from another team tell us about some random act of awesomeness you did for them?…5 points to your team and maybe 2 points to theirs for telling us.  And so on…
  *Did you bring Brandi a glass of wine?…No points to your team because that would be straight bribery but I’m sure she would appreciate it anyways so it’s still worth bringing her a glass of wine.
• Ben can give or take away as many points as he wants, or change the rules at any time for any reason he think is fair and justifiable.  He will do his best to not get drunk on the power.
