Amateur means Levels 1-4 and winners do not move on to the National finals. Professionals are Level 5. In the USA, these winners move on to the U.S. National Pole Championships finals. Professional pricing in the USA is more expensive than amateur pricing. We use the funds for cash prizes at U.S. Nationals, swankier trophies, sweatshirts, and hotel stays for former champions who attend to perform and judge. Professional pricing in other countries is the same as amateur pricing.

Email us at info@polesportorg.com as soon as possible with your order number, the competition you are registered for, and your desired category and level, and we will send you an invoice or refund you the difference.

Yes! You will need to purchase a separate registration for each Category you plan on participating in. You must be in the same Level per competition. For example, you may not register for Championship Level 4 and Heels Level 3.

Each member of a group will need to register separately. You can pay for your registrations via the website and you will automatically be entered into the Portal using the email that was used for purchase. Please change your Stage Name in the Portal to match the other members of your group so that we can link up members and schedule accordingly. Doubles/Group is not separated by Levels nor Age Groups, so there are no level rules you need to abide by. You can find the music time limits via the Rules document here. Group members may select their own pole settings so you can have both poles on spin, or both on static, or can leave them as is with stage right pole on spin and the stage left pole on static. Performers will give their pole settings to the Stage Monitors backstage at the competition.

Via your account in the Portal. After registration payment is made, you will be automatically entered into the Portal using the email that was used for purchase. You may need to check your spam folder for confirmation email that lists your next steps. If you already have an account on the Portal and used a different email to purchase a registration, please email us with your order number and the email your Portal account is under so that we can manually make a switch.

Because each event is super unique, we won't know what category/level will go on what day until the Day of Event Schedules are completed. Doubles/Group and the Pro division typically go on Saturday evening while Heels/After Darks are typically scheduled on Sundays, but this is not guaranteed.
