This step is optional but recommended. Sections are the core of your competition structure. They define what competitors can enter.
What Is a Section?
A section is a unique combination of:
- Age Group (e.g., Junior)
- Style (e.g., Contemporary)
- Level (e.g., Competitive)
- Performance Type (e.g., Solo)
Example section: Junior Contemporary Competitive Solo
Each entry at your competition belongs to exactly one section.
Adding Sections
Add individually:
- Select an Age Group from the dropdown
- Select a Style from the dropdown
- Select a Level from the dropdown
- Select a Performance Type from the dropdown
- Click "Add Section"
Add all combinations:
Click "Add All Combinations" to automatically create every possible section from your selected age groups, styles, levels, and performance types. For example, if you have 3 age groups, 4 styles, 2 levels, and 3 types, this creates up to 72 sections.
Managing Sections
- Sections are displayed in a scrollable table (paginated at 50 per page)
- Each section shows its Age Group, Style, Level, and Performance Type
- Click the × button to remove a section
- Click "Clear All" to remove all sections at once
- A counter shows the number of valid sections vs. the maximum possible
Important Notes
- Duplicate sections are automatically prevented
- If you remove an age group, style, level, or performance type in an earlier step, any sections using that item are automatically removed
- Sections you create here determine what studios and dancers can register for
- You can always add or remove sections from the Event Dashboard later
