As of 5/1/2012, all NEW DANCE competitions are now closed. If you wish to compete in a Music or Vocal competitions then please email us at info@akronfeis.com and we'll get you hooked up.
Now, for those of you who wish to have a competition change: Per our syllabus, we have instututed a $15.00 for those who have notified us up to the Friday before the feis, and $25.00 on the day of the feis. This fee is PER CHANGE request.
What this means is that you will be charge each time you request us to make a change on your behalf.
What we will require is the following:
Your dancers name.
The COMPETITION NUMBERS you are both DROPPING and ADDING. You can get these from our syllabus.
Submit all of the changes at the same time. This email will constitue a single change.
We will only accept CASH or CREDIT CARDS for payment of the requested change and you can pay on Friday Night during pre-registration, or on Saturday until NOON on the day of the feis.
After noon, we will no longer honor change requests.
You will receive your competitor card AFTER you have paid any change fees.
PRELIMINARY to CHAMPIONSHIP is exempt from the $15.00 fee but you must still notify us of the change!
Because of overwhelming demand, our Preliminary and Championship competitions have capped out. If you have an unpaid registration that is already post marked, we will honor that registration. The only exception will be those of who making it to Championship. We will honor that change.
As of May 1st, ALL DANCE COMPETITIONS will be closed for new registrations and there will be no new registrations accepted for the 2012 feis (up to and including the day of the feis). Also, as of May 1st, our change fee policy will be in effect as well.
Please check after May 1st for details on how we'll be handling changes.
We are very close to capping out and based on current trends, we expect that we'll be all capped out on April 30th.
To that end, we will no longer accept mailed paying after Saturday, April 21st. You still will be able to
pay via the efeis.com.
We've been getting a lot of requests for change of competition numbers for registered entrants.
Please note the following:
When you submit your changes, please provide the Akron Feis competition number(s) you wish to add and/or drop. This will remove some ambiguity about which competitions you are wanting to change.
And finally, we are within 150 paid entrants. Once we are to the point when we close the competitions, we will only be accepting changes with appropriate changes fees as outlined in our feis.
As you can see, we have added our "Registered Entrants" page and the current registrations as we have them in the computer. This list IS NOT REAL TIME! Some of you have requested changes, and we are still processing a few of them, and we do have a delay from EFeis to this list.
Also, at this time, we are sitting at just over 700 PAID entrants. Please remember, our cap is the first 1,000 PAID entrants, not the first 1,000 entered people. So, if you have not yet paid for your entries, you are still at risk for not getting into our feis. Please make you payments as soon as possible to guarantee your spot!
We have some additional news concerning our Championship competitions. This year, we will NOT be doing any recalls for the championship competitions. All competitors will be dancing all rounds.
Clarifications regarding our 1,000 paid entrant caps:
First, as our syllabus states, our cap is based off of the first 1,000 PAID entrants, not the first 1,000 registered entrants.
What we have noticed over the last several years is that there have been several individuals that have registered for our feis and never paid. Unfortunately, those registered entrants have been taking spots away from people that have really wanted a desire to attend our event, but could not because the registration spots were already taken. To offset this ever increasing trend, we set our registered higher to allow for additional people to register and pay.
Once we close within 100 PAID entrants, we will start posting frequent updates about where our counts are at. On the day we close, we will shutdown all registrations. If you are paying by check, you will have one from the day we close to the date we no longer accept paid entrants. At that time, we will no longer allow any new entries, including any of those people who never paid via EFeis.
Regarding the PC/OC competitions: There are no specific caps for those competitions, however the overall cap does apply. Once we reach 1,000 PAID entrants, we will close to all registrations, including PC/OC.
We have a lot of exciting news for the 2012 year. The first of which is that we'd like to welcome QuickFeis to this year's event. QuickFeis will be handling all of the scoring/tabulating/results for this year's feis.
There have also been several other changes for this year's feis. Please be sure to read the syllabus completely before you sign up for the feis this year.
