All DanceSport Competition Organisers are invited to join the Beta Testing for the new on-line Event Application process.
The 'Competition Restructure', as approved by the full Board of DanceSport Australia, will be implemented on the 1st January 2022. The intent is not just to streamline and provide consistency for our competitors, but to build a platform that will support our traditional DanceSport events as well as the emerging categories such as Para Dance.
The DanceSport Australia Directors have long been concerned about the length of time Competitions run and the amount of events conducted during that time. Management of events affect all aspects of a competition from Sponsorship, to the length of music for each dance.
The software to manage both the Event Application, the On-Line Entry System and the DanceSportLive content has been converged into one portal. All DanceSport Competition Organisers will be able to manage their respective competitions through their Member Login.
The Event Application process is a key feature to the restructure process as it will create the records required for both the On-Line Entry System and the DanceSport Scrutineers, saving many hours for the entire competition's organisation. It will also automatically create the syllabus and 'Entry Conditions' that will display as part of the On-Line Entry System. Used correctly a competition can go from 'a thought' to 'Entries Open' within an hour.
From now till the 1st January, there will be extensive testing,and re-coding if necessary, of the Event Application and all DSA Organisers can join in this process. DSA will also run training and focus zoom meets in small groups so that Organisers can get a 'jump start' on 2022 (and to get your input in how the process works).
To join the Beta Testing Group simply send your details to: ceo@dancesport.org.au
