Exemptions in IDSF World Ranking Tournaments

I want to draw the attention to the matter that there is a rule change already from 1^st January 2004 concerning the exemptions (couples with star) in IDSF World Ranking Competitions:

Only couples on the places 1 to 50 can get an exemption for the first round of the IDSF World Ranking Tournaments. If there are less couples than the mentioned number the number of marks and directly quailed couples of the first round has to be moved. Couples placed on place 1 to 50 of the IDSF World Ranking List have to make the entry latest 8 days before the competition. If there is a later entry it is up to the organiser whether these couples can participate in the competition but these couples have to dance from the first round.
