For too long, couples have sought glory only for themselves. Only those who finish on top are remembered while those who come up just short: 2nd, 3rd, 6th are forgotten immediately. It’s time for the rules to change!
DCDI is excited to announce the Inferno Brawl, a competition for colleges and studios. We all know that team match is fun with a lot of pride on the line, but what if it lasted for more than just an hour? What if team match lasted the entire competition? The Inferno Brawl is exactly that.
Couples will earn points for their college/studio by making the finals in any event. The old team match will give extra points to the top 3 finishers of both the rookie and championship teams as well. Teams can also earn extra points in fun dances and contests leading up to DCDI itself.
Here’s how it works:
A couple placing in a final in any individual event or fun dance:
- 1st: 6 points
- 2nd: 5 points
- 3rd: 4 points
- 4th: 3 points
- 5th: 2 points
- 6th-8th: 1 point
Placing in either Rookie or Championship Team Match:
- 1st: 30 points
Team Spirit Award:
- 10 points
- The Team Spirit Award determined based on which team has the most team spirit during team match. Winner determined by Chair of Judges.
Volunteering to help with TBAs:
- Every volunteer gets 2 points for their team
- Volunteers asked for as needed (listen for the MC call)
Volunteering to help staff DCDI:
- People who volunteer at least 3 hours gets 2 points for their team
- Volunteers must complete the volunteer form by October 18th.
- Host team (Ballroom at Maryland) is ineligible to receive points this way
Helping Hand Award:
- 15 points
- The Helping Hand Award determined by which team has the most volunteers (TBA and Staffing).
- Host team (Ballroom at Maryland) is ineligible to receive points this way
