2010 General Information:

15. Preliminary Championships are open to those who, at any NAFC recognized Feis:
          a) Have won 1st place in both an open/prizewinner light and heavy shoe competition, and
          b) Have never won 1st, 2nd or 3rd in Open Championship. A dancer who wins three first place awards in one calendar year will move on to Open Championship the following year, or as soon as the third win is achieved, in any age category, in the following years. Only in the case of back-to-back Feiseanna (successive days), in which case the second win will not change the dancer’s status for the third Feis. A dancer is required to perform a light shoe dance (reel or slip jig for ladies and reel only for men), and a hard shoe dance. A Feis can opt to offer either a) a set dance or b) a jig/hornpipe.
