HOW SUBMISSION VIDEOS ARE RANKED
For each province, there are 2-3 assigned judges made up from the CPFA Board of Directors. Evaluation will take into consideration: technique, presentation, fluidity, strength/flexibility, control and confidence. You want to give us your best and choose moves that highlight your strengths as a performer and athlete into a 2 minute presentation.
This 2 minute submission should be a “performance” in that it is to music and has a clear theme and flow. This should not be singular moves performed one at a time in a row.
There are a maximum of 5 bonus points that can be awarded for things like creativity, theme/character, more advanced alternate options, extra-ordinary strength or flexibility demonstrated, and complex combinations, etc.
Your overall score will then be used to confirm that you are in the proper division.
In 2016 the CPFA will use discretion in welcoming athletes to the CPFA stage. The number of competitors will only be limited by time constraints of the competition host or those athletes who are unable to demonstrate proper aptitude and technique.
The CPFA would like to see competitors that have stage presence, creativity, originality, and skill all in one package.
