Tournament Guidelines

Coaches register their own teams at the tournaments. Do not pick up other teams' packets.
Turn off your pagers and cell phones. Better yet, leave them at home or locked in your vehicle.
Do not attempt to enter any competition site after the Door Monitor has shut the door.
Bring two copies of 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 you have received. Coaches and all team members report to the Staging Area Judge 15 minutes prior to your scheduled starting time.
After completing your long term problem and discussing the solution with the judges, clean up the site and remove all your costumes and props so that the next team can start on time in a clean site. Your coaches or other non-team members may help with this.
Wait quietly in the designated area for your Spontaneous competition. Be respectful of others who are competing.
Show respect and good sportsmanship to all other competitors, coaches, judges, media, audience members, and tournament officials.
Show respect for the competition site, and help us keep it clean.
In the event of a medical emergency, contact a tournament official immediately.
Enjoy yourself and have fun!
