I think everyone would like to know why this couple was disqualified. From what we can all see in the video, there is nothing wrong with the dress. Can somebody from WDSF please advise us on this?
We have checked back with the chairman of the competition, who handed us a full report on the disqualification. Andrey and Elizaveta were disqualified for seriously infringing on the WDSF Dress Regulations with Elizaveta's costuming. We believe that going
into further detail would compromise the privacy of Elizaveta. We only refer to the text of the Dress Regulations under "Sanctions":
If a couple is not dressed in accordance with this Dress Regulation and receives a warning from the Chairman of adjudicators, they have to comply with the regulation or face disqualification.
I think what we would all like to know is not that she had broken the rules of the handbook but more because why the decision wasn't made at the start of the finals and only at the end of the entire final round. This is a very indecisive act by the chairman
who could've saved them from dancing the round.
