National Team Selection Procedures
Pair/groups wishing to be considered for selection must read and sign the selection procedures. Signed procedures and proof of citizenship must be returned to the National Office by June 29. Pair/groups cannot be considered for selection to the National teams without signed selection procedures and proof of citizenship.
Music Policy
Due to the number of pair/groups competing at Nationals, a new approach is taken to allow maximum amount of time on each floor, especially the competition floor. All clubs must bring 1 CD with ALL of their athlete's music to the event. The CD must be turned in at accreditation. The CD should have each routine for each pair/group competing at the National Championships. In addition to the CD, the coach should label in what order the routines are on the CD by each pair/group's ID number and routine (i.e. Level 10 WG #165 Balance). The order of routines will allow us to properly label each routine and quickly play the music when the athlete's take the competition floor. In doing so, the amount of time on the competition floor will be best utilized and every pair/group will be able to run at least 1 full routine. It may also eliminate CDs that may skip or not play in the middle of competition. Coaches will still have the option of selecting who will run what routine in which order, but the music will be pre-stored into a computer and therefore will eliminate wasting time shuffling through CDs. Coaches will still need to bring a CD for the warm-up area and individual CDs for each pair/group as a backup. A MP3 CD is preferred.
