Welcome

This web page is devoted to dancers everywhere.  If you are visiting this page it is probably because you are a dancer who has competed in one or more of the dance events where I've served as scorekeeper.  Among these are:

• Portland's Bridgetown Swing
• Spokane's Monster Mash
• Jay Byam's Summer Dance Camp
• Jay Byam's New Years Camp
• Pacific Rim
• Dance America Seattle
• Seattle's Easter Swing
• Reno Dance Sensation

My Goals

My goals here are quite simple:  I want you, the competitor to be able to access all of the public placement data AND judges scoring data that I accumulate at dance events where I serve as scorekeeper.  The website will be database driven so you will be able to view your data in a variety of different ways. No more pushing and shoving through the crowd to see your final scores or how you were placed by the different judges.  Just visit the site whenever you feel the need for a good cry.  Hah!

Note: Judges names will not be displayed along their scores in order to protect the judge's privacy.

You Can Help

As I develop this website I will need your help in the following areas:

• Let your fellow dancers know about the website.
• Check back often and provide constructive feedback so I can tailor the site to meet your needs as a competitor.
• Please let me know if you find your name misspelled anywhere on the site.  Also let me know if you find yourself listed with different variations.  For example if your name is Robert Smith and you find that you competed as Bob Smith, let me know what name you like to go by and I'll consolidate your records.  That way when you click on 'Bob Smith', all of your events will show up instead of only a few of them.  The same goes if you have had a name change due to marriage or some other reason; let me know what name you prefer, and all of the variations of your name that you find on the site and I'll consolidate your records.
• Please email all feedback and/or corrections to: scorekeeper@swingscores.com.

Some Tips

Here are some tips that will make it easier for me to give you accurate competition data:

• Always register for competitions using the same variation of your name.
• Always print your name as neatly as possible on your registration forms.
• Visit the World Swing Dance Council's Points registry page at http://www.swingdancecouncil.com/registry_search.asp and review your records.
• If your name isn't spelled correctly, or more than one WSDC ID# has been assigned to different variations of your name (because of marriage or registration desk errors) then please send them a quick email WSDCPoints@adelphia.net and ask them to make corrections.
• Make a note of your WSDC ID#.  LEARN it, KNOW it, BE it.
• Write your WSDC ID# on all competition registration forms even if there isn't a place for it!!
