Upgrades at Australian Championships
If couples win at any event in Australia they have the option to elevate to the next highest grade in NZ by writing to the Registrar and requesting an upgrade. Should the couple choose to remain at their current NZ grade they need do nothing.
This brings them into line with Dancesport Australia whereby Australian couples winning in New Zealand are not upgraded back in Australia.
