Lets take an example then - Scott at Cambridge, could have done beginners all year, didn't there's no point. Cambridge's beginner couple - I forget the names, won just about everything all year, moved up for IVDA. Using some degree of common sense helps!
Whatever rule you have there may be some sort of loophole, we usually trust team captains not to run a coach and horses through it. If they do, then they should be privately warned about it, and if they still persist then they should be named and shamed.

Ok maybe its an oversight, maybe it meant to say lounge dress only for all events and absolutely no latin trousers/practice wear in beginners, granted its a valid question, but don't try to find the loophole, abide by the spirit please.
Agreed, but people should also know when they have found a loophole that they are just blatantly abusing, and not do it. eg rule that says Beginners event should be people not to have competed pre October. I read that as beginner level competitors only - ie if you're advanced you shouldn't enter, AND not competed before October. Oxford, to take an example, might go for the loophole and put all their "advanced social" dancers into the event - its bad spirit and they shouldn't do it

The rules don't say that, but people don't object in reality if you really are absolutely abismal in the other discipline (normally great latin dancers bad at ballroom, but hey.) If your just average they might do, and you can't blame them and if your good enough to make a semi or above then they have a right to be significantly peeved!
