14) Split protocol will be as follows: All competitions with 120 competitors or more entered in the Mid-America Oireachtas will be divided into two separate competitions with NO ADDITIONAL WORLD QUALIFIERS. A list of competitors entered in competitions with 120 dancers or more will be shared by the tabulation company with the Oireachtas Chairs. The Oireachtas Chairs will hand organize the splits based on the criteria voted on in the January 2019 meeting as outlined here for 2020 and beyond:
a) To create splits of equal strength, entered dancers will be re-ranked from top to bottom by the previous year’s Mid-America Oireachtas placement in split A. Likewise, entered dancers will be reranked from top to bottom by the previous year’s Mid-America Oireachtas placement in split B.
b) In the case of a tied placement from the previous year’s Oireachtas, dancers will be sorted by birth order and then ranked accordingly.
c) From the above, all odd ranked dancers from split A and even ranked dancers from split B will be placed
on one side. Even ranked dancers from split A and odd ranked dancers from split B will be placed on the other side.
d) Dancers who did not compete in the previous Mid-America Oireachtas will be organized by birth order and numbered, then split accordingly, odd and even. In the event of the same birth date, dancers sharing a birth date will be ordered alphabetically based on last name, then first.
e) The current world qualifier formula will be applied to the total number of dancers who competed in the combined splits and awarded accordingly.
f) These splits will then be confirmed by the Regional Director. The Oireachtas Chairs will return the split competition lists (A/B, even/odd) to the tabulation company, clarifying with the tabulation company that the re-ranking is not the order they are dancing in. The tabulation company will then randomize the competition, making certain schools are separate as needed.
