Categories
Tournaments are held in ballroom and latin, separately for women*, men* and queer couples.
All women* and men* tournaments are open to all trans*, inter* and non-binary persons, but according to the rules, they must be in either the women* or men* category during a tournament. We recognize that the dance category chosen by trans*, inter* and non-binary participants does not necessarily reflect their gender identity, but rather reflects the competition in which they prefer to participate.
In addition, we host the queer tournaments These are aimed at all non-mainstream couples who have not yet felt warmly welcome in the DVET tournaments, e. g. :
- because they will not assign themselves to any role as non-binary persons,
- because a woman* leads a man*
- because a couple with Inter*/Trans* people does not express a typical female*/male* couple,
- etc.
Queer couples can also participate in the women* and men* tournaments which take place in parallel.
All tournament participants must be at least 16 years old. No further age restrictions. The tournament rules of the DVET apply. The women* and men* tournaments are danced inclusive qualification rounds for the class division– the queer tournaments without qualification rounds.
The pink or lila “Band der Spree” is awarded to the winners of the combined ranking, which are calculated from the results of the open international tournament of the women* and men* tournaments held in ballroom and latin.
