Music

  1. Music is due one week before the event
    Submit your routine music no later than one week before the event through your team page. Late music may not be played until it is corrected and can cost points.
  2. Maximum 2 minutes 30 seconds
    Each routine's music may not exceed 2:30, measured from the first sound to the last. Routines over the limit are subject to a penalty or disqualification.
  3. One file per routine
    Upload one MP3, WAV or M4A per routine from your team page, named "Team name – Division". Bring a backup copy on a phone or USB drive on the day.
  4. Clean music only
    No profanity or explicit lyrics, including edited versions where the word is still obvious.

Costumes

  1. One outfit change per team
    Teams may change outfits once at most. Changes happen offstage and do not count toward routine time, but the team must be ready when called.
  2. Footwear
    Footwear is required on the floor unless the division allows barefoot.

Teams and eligibility

  1. Register and pay before the deadline
    Teams register through the website. The entry fee is $100 per team and covers every division the team enters.
  2. Only rostered dancers perform
    Only dancers listed on the team's roster may take the floor. Every dancer needs a signed photo/video release before competing.

Performance

  1. Be ready when called
    Teams perform in the posted run order. A team not ready when called may be moved to the end of its division or disqualified.
  2. Props
    No props that leave residue or need cleanup (glitter, liquids, powder, confetti). Hand props are fine.
  3. Safety
    No tumbling or lifts beyond what the coach has confirmed the team can perform safely.

Judging

  1. What judges score
    Technique, synchronization, choreography, performance quality and overall impression.
  2. How winners are decided
    Division winners are named first. The highest overall score across all divisions is crowned champion. Judges' decisions are final.

Conduct

  1. Respect
    Coaches, dancers and supporters are expected to respect other teams, judges, staff and the venue.
