Dancer creating and getting a ranking

A dancer does not directly create federation rankings, but their event participation and results can feed into ranking calculations.

What this step is for

This step explains how a dancer contributes to ranking outcomes and how to understand what happens after results are published.

Where to check the result

Use Public Rankings after the federation has published the updated output.

What the dancer actually does

The dancer does not configure the ranking.

The dancer’s practical job is to make sure the right event, class, license, and team context were used before expecting the result to appear in a ranking.

How it works

1. Register for eligible events.
2. Compete in the correct class and federation context.
3. Make sure the result is recorded correctly.
4. Wait for the federation ranking workflow to process the event.
5. Review the public ranking when published.

What affects ranking inclusion

• whether the event counts for the ranking
• whether the class counts for the ranking
• whether the dancer or team was eligible
• whether federation license policy was satisfied
• whether a manual federation decision changed the published outcome

Common blockers

• The dancer expects all events to count equally.
• The published result was correct locally but not eligible for the ranking.
• A federation correction or exception changed the final published ranking.

What success looks like

The dancer understands why a result does or does not appear in public ranking output.

If the ranking looks wrong

Check these before reporting a problem:

1. Was the event supposed to count for this ranking?
2. Was the correct class used?
3. Was the relevant license rule satisfied?
4. Did the federation publish a manual exception or correction?
