Entrants who fail to produce these documents will not be allowed to participate in the competition. Exceptional assessments will be made for special circumstances such as force majeure.

3. All participants must complete registration before the start of the competition, and join the competition Line Community Group/Facebook Messanger Group. In order to keep the community information flowing, the competition Line Community Group/Facebook Messanger Group prohibits any other content or activity postings except discussing competition-related matters, and please do not create any notepad. Otherwise, you will be immediately removed from the group, be disqualified from the competition, and the registration fee will not be refunded.

4. The competition is divided into eight categories: tango new star , tango general, tango happy healthy, vals, milonga, and Jack&Jill tango/vals/milonga. You can only register for one category with one dance partner, and you are not allowed to register for the same category with multiple dance partners. The organizer will try our best to adjust the rounds accordingly to reduce the possibility of consecutive rounds.

5. The participants of the tango rising star category must have tango experience of less than 3 years. The organizer will verify your starting learning date with your first tango teacher. If the start date of the learning session is found to be inconsistent with the facts after the competition, the participant's ranking will be cancelled, prizes will be reclaimed, and the registration fee will not be refunded. There is no seniority limit for other categories. Those with less than 3 years of tango experience are also welcome to sign up for the tango general category.

6. Eligibility for the Tango Happy Healthy Category: The combined age of the two participants must be 110 years and 0 months or older (inclusive). If the participants do not meet the age eligibility criteria during on-site registration and ID verification, their participation will be cancelled, and the registration fee will not be refunded.

8. Contestants must treat judges, supervisors, other contestants, spectators, and any personnel or guests associated with Tango.two in a respectful and sportsmanlike manner. Any negative behavior, whether written or spoken, can have negative consequences. Tango.two reserves the right to revoke titles and prizes awarded to violators, as well as participation in future Tango.two events.

Any spectator is welcome to watch all competitions (not required to be a tango dancer), but must not interfere with the competition, otherwise they will be requested to leave the competition venue.

By registering for the competition, entrants consent to the public use of images and videos/recordings taken by Tango.two.

13. The organizer has the right to adjust the rules based on on-site conditions and fairness.

1. Each round of competition will arrange 10 pairs of contestants, and they will be selected and promoted according to the proportion of rounds. Each category has preliminary rounds and finals. If there are only 8-10 pairs registered in a certain category, the finals will proceed directly. If there are less than 7 pairs registered in a certain group, the competition in this category will be cancelled, and the registration fee will be fully refunded.

2. Before each round of competition, contestants are asked to go to the assembly area and line up according to the roll call order announced by the competition Line Community Group/Facebook Messanger Group. If they line up after the roll call by the host, they will be disqualified from the competition. After the roll call of each group in each round of competition, the music director will select 3 complete pieces of music, with an interval of about 3 seconds. The selected music will not be announced in any way before the competition.

3. As in a milonga, dancers must keep moving counterclockwise and avoid staying in the same place for too long to contribute to good dance floor flow.

4. It is recommended that women wear elegant tango clothing and men wear traditional suits, but clothing will not be considered for specific scoring.

5. Competitors must maintain a tango embrace during the competition music.

6. All movements should be performed within the space allowed by the dance partner’s embrace.

7. During the competition, participants can perform any common moves, including barridas, sacadas, enrosques, etc.

8. Any typical tango stage moves in which both feet leave the ground at the same time may not be used during the competition.

9. It is recommended to register before 10:45am. The competition schedule is for reference. If a certain round/category ends early, the next round/category will be continued without further notice.

10. When registering, each pair will receive a bib and pins. Please pin it on the men's lower back before the start of the round. Jack & Jill lady contestants are also asked to wear their bib during their category time.

1. The judges will meet before the competition to reach a consensus on scoring and strive to achieve the highest fairness. The judges will sign a consent form and personal factors (such as teacher-student relationship) will not affect the score.

2. The judging scores and promotion results will be announced in the competition Line Community Group/Facebook Messanger Group. Participants are requested to pay attention and actively prepare to participate in each round/level of the competition. If there are more than one round of preliminaries for a certain category, the results will be announced after all rounds are completed.

3. Except for the Jack & Jill category, which only has one male and female champion, other categories will select a champion, runner-up, and third runner-up based on the judging scores, and the rankings will be announced at the Champ Milonga at the evening. Except for the Jack & Jill category, the champions of each category will perform a song at the Champ Milonga. The results will be published on the official website of Tango.two.
