Oops, didn't read the long discussion below abt Robin's suggestion of Adv 1st Round Knockouts go to Int. Quite like that idea actually, think it will definitely help boost the number of Adv entries.

And my suggestion of Semi playoffs attract the same criticism in Ali's semi playoffs about you wanting only the best dancers to get trophies and not to dilute the finals. It will also be bad if there are very few entries in Adv, and similar to this year, after one round you make Semis and therefore get a prize.
