Don't know anything about CRN they don;t seem to dance outside their org much - they are the ones who have banned toe stands and straddle jumps. Their open champs seems to be 2 rounds - light round and modern set. CRG wouldn't have many dancers over 21 but make age groups if needed, they have more dancers in grades and younger ages. CRDM is not really open - their dancers don't dance out of CRDM but allow vetted schools to dance in. Most competitive for teenage and younger ages and seniors are growing but they don't do age groups over 23 at the moment. Their oldest dancers over 30 can dance out but that's it. Several CLRG schools have transferred to CRDM. CRDM open champs are 3 rounds - light/heavy/mod. WIDA have the most adults by a mile and have them all the way through prelim grades and open. They split local feis as demand O25/U30/O30 etc and worlds goes to O45. They have a lot of teenagers too and more schools worldwide across Europe. Open champs are 4 rounds at majors and worlds - heavy/light/trad/modern. Strict rules on their own trad version, barging and false starts. Super quick feis as they have no break between dancers - immediate pick-up. CNRG are only in the UK they're really new and have taken in a lot of schools already. Would be worth attending a feis or two to see the atmosphere. Open platform is great as it gives so many opportunities although need to read the rules carefully - even how they calculate age can be different. Teachers may only allow feis in X and Y not all other orgs so that's something to keep in mind. What's great is to compete in CRDM without actually being in it as then can't dance out.
