REMINDERS FOR THE TEAM

1. Is your tournament paperwork ready?  (can be found in the forms section of the website)

• Style forms
• Material Values form
•  Outside Assistance form
• Team Clarification(s)
• Media Release Form
• Other paperwork that your Long Term problem may require 

Make sure you have these together and completed before the tournament!

2. Judges
It is important to be respectful to the judges at all times, and to listen carefully to their instructions and their questions. The judges want all teams to do their best. The competition is your opportunity to showcase all of your hard work for the year. Remember that judges are volunteers who work very hard to be knowledgeable about the problems and fair to team members.

3. Keep the Spontaneous problem confidential!!
All teams competing in the same problem and division have the same Spontaneous problem. Teams are on the honor system to keep the problem confidential until the tournament director tells them that they are free to talk about it (usually at the Awards Ceremony). Your team can be penalized for discussing the Spontaneous problem outside of the Spontaneous room.

4. Courtesy to other teams
Teams should be quiet and non-disruptive when they are near a Long Term performance area or the Spontaneous competition area. As teams walk around the tournament they should not touch other team’s props/scenery/costumes/etc. Rowdy behavior and/or damaging another team’s items may result in a penalty to your team.

5. Bringing personal items to the tournament
Team members should bring a small amount of cash for souvenirs/snacks. (If you are a serious shopper, bring Mom & Dad!) Try not to bring expensive personal items like jewelry, cameras, laptop computers, cell phones, etc. Items lost are almost always returned, but if you don’t bring them — you can’t lose them!

6. Have fun!
Remember that the tournament is supposed to be an enjoyable experience! Teams come to the tournament to compete against and to appreciate other teams. Have fun!
