CONCERNING THE LONG TERM PRESENTATION

​

• As it gets closer to competition day, we will post on our website the TEAM COMPETITION SCHEDULE.  This will include the time and place for each team's Long Term performance and the time and place for their Spontaneous Competition.   

 

• Also posted will be maps of the MS and HS buildings which will include: the prop drop off area for each problem, the holding areas for each problem, and the competition site for each problem.  From this information, you can plan out how to enter the building to drop off your props.​

 

• Each team will be assigned a holding area in the hallways outside your competition site.  Your team name and membership # will be on a poster on the wall above your space.  This is where you store your props and other items and where the team prepares for the competition.  Please only take up as much space as designated for your team.

 

• Your Long Term paperwork: bring four copies of all forms (the Outside Assistance form, Cost form, Style form, and any other form required by your problem.) Be sure and keep an additional copy for your use at the next level of competition.

 

• Bring two copies of any Problem Clarifications your team has received.

 

• Coaches and all team members should report to the Staging Area Judge, with all their set elements and paperwork,15 minutes prior to their scheduled starting time.  The staging area will be marked and is located just outside the team entrance of your competition site.  Non-team members are allowed to help the team take their props and competition items to the staging area.  

 

• Do not attempt to enter any competition site after the Door Monitor has shut the door.

 

• Directly after your team has competed, the judging team will greet the team on stage and ask them questions about their solution.  When this is complete, please promptly remove all items from the stage so the next team can start on time.  Please be sure to clean the site of any debris.  Coaches and parents may help with this.

​

• Props and other items can be taken back to the team's holding area or taken directly to the cars.  Either way, be sure to completely clean up your holding area before you leave for the day.  

 

 

CONCERNING THE SPONTANEOUS COMPETITION

​

• Coaches are to take their team to the Spontaneous holding room designated on their schedule 15 minutes before the posted time.  The team and coach will wait quietly in this room until it is their time to be called. 

 

• There is not an audience allowed in the Spontaneous competition.  The team will be escorted to their Spontaneous Competition room and compete by themselves for the judges. When they are done with Spont, they will be escorted back to the Spont holding room to meet their coach.   

 ​

​

CONCERNING YOUR SCORES

​

• Approximately 1 hour after your competition time you will be able to pick up your scores from your Head Judge while the judging team is in between performances.  In most cases, there will be a poster board on the wall near the judges where they update which teams scores are ready to be picked up.  Your Head Judge will review the scores with you.  You will have a half hour you pick up scores to review and return to the judge for follow up questions.
