My Son danced p/o and open last year, he is more of a p/o dancer still but teacher wanted him to get experience in dancing opens to gain confidence, only one of the feises he danced a champ and was the only entry on the day and so "won" the champ and 2 solos and she said he couldnt then go back to P/o or dance the prelim that November as he wasnt eligible anymore. -- AN COMHDHÁIL IRISH DANCING FORUM

In reply to: DM 's message, "Ive read the rules around Prelims but there are definately dancers not sticking by these rules and dancing the prelim anyway, how do they get away with it?" on Mon, Mar 10 2025, 17:12:16

and was now open for those dances, we assumed he'd be returning to p/o this year but the teacher said no as he continued to feis and "winning" champs were he was the only entry, so now he is out of p/o and prelims this November too and forever more. It was before his time i feel and i wouldnt have let him into opens had i known he'd be out of prelim and p/o as a result

No sadly he can't. She should have warned you not to enter him if he was the only one. Such a pity he's stuck there now if he's not ready yet. (NT) -- Dm, Tue, Mar 11 2025, 10:19:16
- Yes i didnt fully understand the ins and outs of it to be honest, but its unfortunate that he cant dance prelims this Nov either or ever now, hes to stick in Opens even though he wasnt ready to be there 100% but Rules are rules i suppose (NT) -- sd, Tue, Mar 11 2025, 10:57:31
The rules do not apply if there was only 1 dancer in the competition, rule 4.9 (NT) -- DM, Tue, Mar 11 2025, 19:54:51
- Poor lad, rules don't apply based on number of competitors (NT) -- Ask tc, Mon, Mar 17 2025, 7:22:24
