I think your comments prove that the question has not yet been answered. Advanced/Open is to find the best dancers. What is intermediate for ... to find the best dancers who arent as good the the best dancers? Is it to give a section for those who arent as experinced as the top competitors, is it just a section so that the organisers can take more money, is it a stepping stone? etc. etc. If it is so that dnacers can compete at their 'own' level then it is obviously incorrect to have dancers competing in more than one section.

This subject was covered previously in last years debate .. but was never adequalty answered (IMHO). Until you can state categoricaly what the purpose of the division system is then you cant define the rules for allowing/disallowing entry.
