Federation event registration policy

Federations do not usually enter every registration themselves, but they define the rules that determine whether registrations are allowed.

What this step is for

This step defines the registration policies that organizers and dancers experience during event entry.

How it works

Decide whether licenses are required for registration.
Define age and class eligibility rules.
Define any special federation restrictions.
Make sure those rules are clear before events open.
Use enforcement and support workflows when registrations are blocked.

What this affects

organizer setup
dancer registration success
eligibility enforcement
support volume during registration periods

Common blockers

Federation policy is changed too late.
Organizers assume policy instead of checking it.
Dancers only discover the rules when registration already blocks them.

What success looks like

Registration rules are consistent, understandable, and enforced without surprise.
