Seems like the Discussion Board had a minor problem today. Once you earn 7 points, you can no longer dance in that level.
Events only qualify if there was at least a semi-final danced.
As always, points are awarded to both members of the couple, and couples must always dance to the higher level of the two competitors. Also note that these are national policies and all competitions are not required to follow these. However, if a competition states that they are following YCN proficiency points, then this is what shall be used. There was a bug in the discussion board that made new threads override old threads. It should be fixed.
