    The only logistical problem is when you get the numbers don't match - ie you get 20 men marked through by 3 judges, but 22 women.
    Unless you tell the judges to just pick the top 20? Or, eliminate the bottom X, whichever is easiest. Although eliminations and handicapping would be tricky... err, head hurts...

    Although I would like to see a competition organised like this, I would hope that the traditional DWAS with everyone in gets retained as well. It seems to be something unique to MJ, with everyone from beginners to teachers taking part.


    Although, to be fair, some salsa comps have been organised like that in the past. But MJ is the only dance I know which does these regularly.

    That assumes all the judges agree.

    What usually happens is 20 couples on the floor, and each judge recalls 10 to go through. You count up how many recalls each couple gets, and the ones with the most recalls go through. You might have 7 couples with 4 or more recalls, and 12 couples with 3 or more. You select the cut-off point that gives you the closest number to 10 - so in this example you would recall 12 couples.

    But when you mark the men and ladies separately, you are likely to get a difference. You might get 12 men with 3 or more recalls, but 13 ladies. So how do you decide which lady does not get through? (or which extra man gets in?)
