MPDC National Ranking

MPDC has just completed the competition in Batu Pahat. Together with the MPDC open there was also the National rankings. The competition was well organised with Mr. Shawn Tay the Chief adjudicator and other adjudicators from Thailand , Philippines, Singapore, Italy, South Africa and of course Malaysia too. Just a day before the competition Mr. Shawn Tay conducted an IPDSC adjudicators Congress, it was attended by 42 participants with Malaysian making the largest group.

It is refreshing to see new faces that is coming to join the ranking and it is our hope that this new dance athletes will have the opportunity to join Team Dancesport Malaysia (TDM) 2009 for the Hanoi 3rd Asian Indoor Games. Through past experience we know that the journey to be the best in Asia is no easy task, but the Asian Indoor Games is always the test bed to see if our athletes are up to standard. In the previous SEA Games in Korat, the Olympic Council of Malaysia, will look at our athletes performance at the Asian Indoor Games to decide whether our athletes can represent the country. Please note that OCM will not send out athletes under Category A at their costs unless we are sure medal contenders. By this, TDM will either have to raised the funds to compete or the athletes will have to pay themselves. OCM are not hard, but they do not want our athletes to go to an important Games, get a good trashing and come back looking silly and stupid. This has happened before.

Now until the next selection we in MPDC calls our Ranked athletes to expose themselves to Championships in Asia. Philippines will be having their IDSF Open in November and many more that we in MPDC would encourage you to go to.

To the potential National athletes your journey to Team Dancesport Malaysia has just begun, now is the time to prove your worth. All said we congratulate you and we trust the web master will publish your ranking on the MPDC web site on the points that you have gained.
A word of caution to all Grade A MDSB/MPDC athletes, please do not dance in any Championship, if it is not an IDSF/MPDC Championship. In the event you are not sure please ask MPDC or MDSB for clearance.
