BallroomRank score The Standard score after the last competition, United States Dance Championships (Sep 7, 2026), as the rankings print it. It changes only when this partnership competes again. The chip is the score's move at United States Dance Championships (Sep 7, 2026), against the competition before. As a student, the score counts only the student's own results; the teacher earns nothing from these heats.19811981±0unchangedAs student · Standard · after Sep 7, 2026

Standard · Laurie James · BallroomRank score (as student) after last competition, Sep 7, 2026: 1981 0 · with Yegor Novikov

0 points since the previous competition (Sep 2, 2026) · same style and partnership

1981 is Laurie James’s BallroomRank score as a student today, published Oct 18, 2026: the number the Pro-Am Gold A Standard rankings, partner lists and search show. The chart plots the same score reconstructed right after each competition, 1981 after the last one (Sep 7, 2026). Same measure, different dates: the score keeps moving between competitions as recent results age and the time since the last competition grows. It is based only on the student’s results and history: the teacher contributes no rating or partnership effect, and these results do not change the teacher’s score. Historical points are reconstructed with the current model, not forecasts published at the time. 7 recorded dates for this style and partnership.

All competition results

Laurie James has 29 recorded competitions from 2021 to 2026 (381 entries). Teaching entries are listed but never count toward a teacher's rating.
