Subject: Unique idea for blended comps

How about for each age group, all dancers - boys, girls, and "open" (trans, fluid, non-binary, etc.) compete together. There would be no recalls and all dancers would dance all 3 rounds. There would be 2 categories of results - 3 sets of results for girls-only, boys-only, and open-only, and then a single combined result. Dancers could national and world qualify in either category. For example, a girl that misses out qualifying for worlds in the mixed category might qualify from the girls-only category. And a strong boy who places 6th and misses out in the boys-only category might qualify through the mixed category. And a trans dancer who would likely be alone in the open category would still get to be competitive in the mixed category. This way, no one is knocked out of their rightful qualification and no one is taking a title away from anyone. It would make for a longer day, but everyone gets a chance to perform their set and everyone has a fair opportunity to qualify and make the podium.
