As noted, priority will be given to teams.
Single lead/follow registrations will be added to a wait list on a first-come, first-served basis. Then leaders and followers will be matched to maintain a good balance of roles.

 

Only registrations for the full event will be sold – no individual milongas (to maintain good role-balance).
