Rules
Sportsmanship
All participants agree to conduct themselves in a manner displaying good sportsmanship throughout and following the event. The coach and/or gym owner of each team is responsible for seeing that team members, coaches, parents, and any other persons affiliated with the team conduct themselves in an appropriate manner. Severe cases of unsportsmanlike conduct are grounds for penalties and/or disqualification.
Interruption of Performance
All participants agree to conduct themselves in a manner displaying good sportsmanship throughout and following the event. The coach and/or gym owner of each team is responsible for seeing that team members, coaches, parents, and any other persons affiliated with the team conduct themselves in an appropriate manner. Severe cases of unsportsmanlike conduct are grounds for penalties and/or disqualification.
Interruption of Performance
- If, in the opinion of the competition officials, a team’s routine is interrupted because of failure of the competition equipment, facilities, or other factors attributable to the competition rather than the team, the team affected should stop the routine.
- The team will perform the routine again in its entirety, but will be evaluated ONLY from the point where the interruption occurred. The degree and effect of the interruption will be determined by the competition officials.
- In the event that a team’s routine is interrupted because of failure of the team’s own equipment and/or music, the team must either continue or withdraw from the competition.
- In the event that an injury causes the routine to be interrupted, the participant can stop the routine at any time and seek medical assistance.
- Competition officials reserve the right to stop the routine if an injury occurs.
- The competition officials will determine if the team will be allowed to perform at a later time. If the competition officials allow a routine to be performed at a later time, the spot in the schedule where the re-performance is to take place is at the sole discretion of the competition officials. The team may perform the routine again in its entirety, but will be evaluated ONLY from the point where the interruption occurred.
- The injured participant that wishes to perform may not return to the competition floor unless the competition officials receive clearance from, first, the medical personnel attending to that participant, the parent (if present) AND THEN the head coach/advisor of the competing team. If the medical personnel do not clear the participant, the participant can only return to the competition if a parent or legal guardian in attendance signs a return to participant waiver. In the event of a concussion, the participant cannot return to perform without clearance from a medical professional, even with a waiver from a parent or legal guardian. No exceptions.
