NAEDA offers two types of sanctions:
1. One-time: intended for a specific competition that will occur once on a specific date.
2. Recurring: intended for a specific competition that will recur on an annual or biannual basis on approximately the same date.
In order to be sanctioned by NAEDA, an equality partner dance competition must comply with all NAEDA standards and rules existing at the time the sanction is approved. A sanction is provided for a specific event, in a specific geographic region, and for a specific date or time frame. NAEDA may limit the number of sanctioned events in a given time period and/or geographic region to ensure that the calendar of equality competitions offers the community of dancers and competitors the opportunity to participate in as many events as possible.
I. A sanctioned competition must not offer any titles using the word “championship” unless such titles have been authorized or otherwise approved by NAEDA.
II. Competition organizers are required to maintain an organizational membership in NAEDA (organizational dues are currently $100 USD per year) and agree to comply with all NAEDA rules and regulations.
III. Any changes in date, location, name, and/or person(s) responsible for the competition should be reported to NAEDA in a timely fashion and failure to do so may result in the withdrawal of the sanction.
IV. A sanction is not transferable to any other event or competition.
V. The granting of a sanction does not imply that NAEDA has authorized any championship title(s) for that competition. Authorization by NAEDA of championship titles is a separate process.
VI. Organizers of sanctioned competitions are required to announce the following in advance: the definition of pro-am, if any, to be used for the competition; what pro-am participation is allowed; how pro-am participation will be handled (including whether it will be judged separately). Organizers are expected to abide by their announced policies and procedures.
VII. The organizer of each NAEDA sanctioned competition shall submit the following data no later than 60 days after the date of the competition to the Secretary of NAEDA:
1. Competition Name
2. Date of Competition
3. Location of Competition (Facility, City, State or Province, Country)
4. Contact Information of Organizer
5. List of the Judging Panel
6. Results and Scores of All Competition Events (including names and placement for each couple)
