2022 UCWDC Points Championships Winners
Congratulations!!!
2022 UCWDC Points Championship points are earned for every dance completed by each contestant at every UCWDC event around the world during the 2022 dance season. Points are calculated by awarding five (5) points for each division/dance completed and then adding additional points for each 1st – 5th dance placement attained in each of those division/dances, e.g., First – 5 points, Second – 4, Third – 3, Fourth – 2, Fifth – 1.
*** Title will be awarded only if a minimum of 100 points was reached and only contestant with a UCWDC current year membership status will receive points.
