NSC Event Rule changes
The Chart Committee proposed the following changes for 2006:

Remove the requirement on promoters that all Amateur grade NSCs are pre-entry. Pre-entry will now be at the discretion of the promoter for all grades but any closing date for entries must be adver tised well in advance and must be no later than two weeks before the competition.

Remove the requirement on promoters to provide a repechage round in Amateur Grade NSCs and remove the recommendation that a repechage round is used in other NSCs.

Add a reminder that points will not be awarded to any dancer not registered with EADA at the date of the NSC.

Remove the requirement on promoters that permission to exclude Viennese Waltz or Jive from early round must be written. (Such permission must still be sought.)

Add the requirement on promoters that competitors should be given ten minutes warning before the next round of their competition commences.

Add the recommendation to promoters that all NSC should finish by 8pm and, in the case of Juvenile or Junior grade, by 4pm.

Make it clearer that when there are between 13 and 24 entries, 12 should be recalled for a semi final, and if there are less than 12 entries, 6 should be recalled for the final.

Add that promoters are encouraged to display the recall marks between rounds.

In addition, the parameters for the various grades and styles are changed as follows (changed figures in brackets):
