WSDC Points
The World Swing Dance Council (WSDC) maintains an official point registry for competitive West Coast Swing dancers. SwingElo pulls this data to enrich your profile.
What are WSDC points?
Points are earned by placing in finals at WSDC-sanctioned events. Higher placements at larger events earn more points. Points accumulate per division (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, All-Star, Champion) and per role (Leader, Follower).
How points appear on SwingElo
Your total WSDC points are shown in search results. The number is the sum across all divisions and roles — your lifetime total.
For example, a dancer might have:
- 15 Novice points
- 34 Intermediate points
- 52 Advanced points
- 101 total WSDC points
Points vs callbacks
These measure completely different things:
| WSDC Points | Callback Stats | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | WSDC Registry | EEPro/scoring.dance results |
| Earned by | Placing in finals | Advancing through prelim rounds |
| Format | Numeric point total | Promoted/entered count |
| Example | "52 Advanced points" | "ADV Callbacks: 10/14 (71%)" |
Not in the WSDC registry?
Some active competitors aren't in the WSDC registry. This can happen if:
- You've only competed at non-WSDC events
- Your name is registered differently than how it appears on EEPro
- You haven't registered with WSDC
If you're missing from the registry, your profile will still show competition data from EEPro — you just won't have WSDC point totals.
