Welcome to the Staff Contest Registration Page DO NOT USE THIS LINK if you are not on staff
We offer more than the usual divisions! Click here for descriptions of all the divisions we offer.
Contest Registration link is at the bottom of this page.
You can add contests at any time online until registration cuts off at 5pm Friday for Friday contests, 11am Saturday for Saturday contests before the dinner break, and 6pm Saturday for all remaining contests
Be sure to download the SwingDancer App (Android, Iphone) for updates and heat/semis/finals lists.
Do NOT select an O’Rama Cup regional team when registering as staff do not earn points for regions (cause you get to give them away instead) and are ineligible for the Carlito Challenge.
Check the schedule for contest times and be sure to head to the Staging area if your contest says STAGED or you will be scratched.

Contest fees are refundable (minus processing fees) IF you let us know you need to scratch more than 1 hr before the division starts.
We allow you to enter different contests in different roles however…
In order to have enough time in our schedule it is necessary for us to run several contest rounds simultaneously in different rooms. This applies to: – Newbie Prelims & Country Swing Prelims – Advanced Prelims & Novice Semifinals – Intermediate Prelims & Advanced Semifinals – All Stars Prelims & Intermediate Semifinals – Masters Prelims & All Stars Semifinals We still allow and encourage dancers to enter contests with simultaneous rounds (if you are eligible for both according to the rules), but be aware that you will likely need to run from one room to the other without a break so be prepared.
We do our best to notice competitors in two divisions running simultaneously and stagger the heats they are in, as well as to keep contests that are running simultaneously in different rooms in sync with each other so that the same heats run at the same time. However…
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOUBLE CHECKING AND MONITORING THIS. If you end up sorted into two simultaneous heats and don’t notify us before the contest starts we may be unable to fix it and you might have to scratch from one. If for some reason the contests begin to run with their heats out of sync it’s possible that the different heats you are in might end up conflicting and you’ll have to scratch from one. DOUBLE CHECK THE HEAT SHEETS AND HAVE A FRIEND MONITOR WHAT HEAT THEY ARE ON IN THE OTHER ROOM FOR YOU.
For Pro-Am you cannot dance in the same level for 2 different roles as an Am (because the finals are only one heat per a level and run simultaneous ), but you can do different levels
For Pro-Am you can dance in both roles as a Pro (if qualified) but if you make finals multiple times in the same level an alternate pro will be used for your extra Ams because of how finals are scheduled/run.
For Pro-Am you cannot enter in one role as an Am and the other as a Pro because that would be the same contest. That means if you have purchased an All Star/Champion pass you cannot compete in Pro-Am as an Am.
For what levels to enter in different roles we follow the WSDC guidelines.
You ARE allowed to enter BOTH Newbie & WSDC Novice in the SAME role if you DON’T have any WSDC points in that role.
You cannot enter the same contest in two different roles.
Due to our insane schedule and us wanting to maintain plenty of social dancing time be aware that: There will be NO Quarterfinals for any division during the weekend regardless of the size of any divisions. There will be NO Semifinals for Role Reversal J&J, Sophisticated J&J, All American/60s Era J&J, Pro-Am J&J, Open Strictly, or All Star/Champions Strictly despite these being potentially large divisions.
