Responsibilities of Competitors
1. Planning Ahead. Competitors should check the weekend schedule in advance in order to arrive in time to meet registration deadlines. They should bring appropriate competition attire. They should also plan ahead so as to be on time for all meetings & competitions. Competitors are responsible for checking at the event for any changes to previously announced schedules, which are always subject to change.
2. Knowing the Rules. All competitors should read these rules carefully prior to attending the contestant meeting for their competition. Competitors are responsible for adhering to these rules whether they have read them or not. Questions about the rules should be asked at the contestant meeting, or addressed in advance to the Contest Co-ordinator or the Chief Judge.
3. Mandatory Contestant Meetings. All competitors must attend all contestant meetings related to their competition. Any contestant who misses a meeting without approval from the Chief Judge or Contest Coordinator will not be permitted to compete.
4. Be Prepared to Compete. Competitors should be present in the auditorium at least 15 minutes prior to the start of their competition. Competitors are responsible for their bib numbers – please keep them safe for the duration of the event.
5. Demonstrating Good Sporting Conduct. Competitors must demonstrate good sporting conduct at all times, both on & off the competition floor. Competitors must also refrain from any behavior that the judges deem inappropriate. Failure to adhere to this code of behavior may result in disqualification.
6. Discussing the Competitions Only Where Appropriate. Competitors may only discuss the competitions with the contest officials or judges using appropriate channels, such as contestant meetings and scoring Review sessions. Please do not approach judges seeking advice on their decisions at other times.
7. Scoring Review Session. Scores for finals will be posted after the Awards. If a judge is available for feedback they will attend a review session & finalists may ask for brief feedback. A scoring review session is designed for finalists to receive, not give, feedback.
