The box awards are for qualifying for Nationals. Adults don't qualify for Nationals, therefore giving a box would just be a participation prize. U8 dancers don't get it either and their competition was a lot bigger. You were recognized on stage with a medal for your placement. I don't understand. -- Mid-Atlantic Region Message Board

In reply to: They work just as hard and pay the same entry fee. I know they don't WQ, 's message, "Why didn't the adults that were in the top placing positions(nationals qualifying) receive a box award instead of just a medal?" on 11:42:02 11/27/23 Mon

Adults do attend nationals. They all got the same medal. Having the box award is more special because it shows a better placement (NT) -- They have given them every year but this one, 17:16:05 11/27/23 Mon
- Attending and qualifying are two different things. Any adult off the street can register for NAIDC. No qualifications needed. (NT) -- Not the same, 19:05:38 11/27/23 Mon
- Are you sure we are talking about adults here? (NT) -- Doesn’t sound like it., 19:42:28 11/27/23 Mon
  - If not, then what is this? https://www.naidc2023.com/_files/ugd/e839c1_703a4e8398c5429eb32126d0c0aec2ce.pdf (NT) -- Clearly says adult championship, 20:01:07 11/28/23 Tue
    - I think their point is that ALL adults, like U8, can go to nationals, so they don't "qualify". Since even the last place adult can go, there is no special award for qualifying. -- --, 20:09:36 11/28/23 Tue
      - Regardless of the rules about who can go to nationals, the top dancers at MARO in U8 and adults alike are designated as NQ and should be awarded as such just like all the other comps. (NT) -- Or just recall them and leave it there. But they have NQ like all the other comps., 20:19:38 11/28/23 Tue
      - There are NQ designations on the adult marks sheets, are we sure they don't have to qualify now? (NT) -- Because they should have to, 01:24:08 11/29/23 Wed
U8 did get the boxes. Look at the photos. (NT) -- .., 20:23:24 11/28/23 Tue
