I will admit I refused several dances on Sunday. I also know several other people who did - both men and ladies. Competitions are different - you are trying to conserve energy, or practice with your partner, or psyching yourself up, or protecting injuries, or trying to get some food, etc. I can't even watch for about 20 minutes before I compete - never mind dance.
To some extent you get this in the run up to a competition as well - particularly a handful of couples dancing far more often with each other, and far less with everyone else.
Hopefully things can get back to normal now. If I did refuse a dance with you, then just ask me the next time I see you.
