Rules and Guidelines For Competing

TIDA of NZ members follow the TIDA Grade Syllabus, TIDA and CLRG rules:

COMPETING IN NEW ZEALAND

Participation in dancing competitions across New Zealand, organized by An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha, is open to pupils registered with a certified TCRG or ADCRG.

Competitors' ages are determined as of January 1st each year.

To enter the New Zealand National Championships, dancers must be registered with TIDA of NZ members, who must reside within New Zealand.

All competitors are required to submit a copy of their proof of birth (such as a birth certificate, passport, or driver’s license) to their teacher. The teacher will then forward this documentation to the Registration Officer of TIDA of NZ, along with the annual registration fee of $25.00 NZD. (Once proof of birth is submitted, there will be no need to provide it again.)

Registrations must be completed by March 31st each year.

Overseas competitors need to provide their proof of birthdate to the Feis organiser.

PHOTOGRAPHY AT COMPETITIONS

Any form of unauthorized photography that can capture a dancer's image in motion, whether through electronic or manual means (such as mobile phones, standard cameras, video camcorders, cine recorders, or commercial film), with or without flash, is strictly prohibited in all sections, except as outlined below or when an official photographer has been designated by the event organizer. This official photographer is the only person allowed to take photographs.

Non-flash photography and filming are permitted only for Novice Sections and composed teams, provided a permit has been obtained.
