OVER
Music CDs must be properly labeled with the team name and division. Please hold on to your music until the time of
your performance. A team representative must remain at the sound station during your team’s performance. The sound
technician will be able to accommodate audio CDs and MP3s. If using an MP3, smart phone, etc. please ensure that
there is no case on the device which will obstruct the jack from plugging into the sound system. If you are using a
smart phone, please ensure that no interruptions (i.e. phone call, alarm, etc.) occur during your performance.
There will be assigned warm-up/practice time offered for each team. Teams must report to the warm-up area located at
Station #1 (refer to Pavilion Map), in the Southwest corner of the Pavilion at the time designated on the “Warm-Up”
schedule. Teams will not be permitted to enter the warm-up area earlier than their assigned check-in time. All schoolbased cheer teams will have the opportunity to practice/warm-up on a carpet bonded foam mat measuring at least 30’ x
42’. There will be a spring tumbling strip available for all-star teams with a specialized warm-up schedule. All Star
cheer teams will perform on a spring floor measuring 54’ x 42’. All other cheer teams will perform on a carpet bonded
foam mat measuring 54’x 42’ (9 strips). Ceiling height of the performance area is 46’6”. All dance/song teams will
perform on a pulastic surface.
School and Youth Sports Spirit teams, please note the AACCA School Cheer Safety Rules, USA Song/Pom/Pep Flag
Safety Rules, and the Show Cheer and Song/Pom Division Limitations posted at usa.varsity.com. Remember that three
points will be deducted from the final team average of each occurrence of an illegal procedure. Performance error
deductions will be assessed for cheer divisions.
All Star teams, please note the 2013-14 USASF General Safety and Level Rules for All Star Teams posted at
www.usasf.net. Remember that two points will be deducted from the final team average of each occurrence of an illegal
procedure. Performance error deductions will be assessed.
Video Taping Policy - For safety and security we respectfully request that videotaping be limited to performances of
your school/organization only. Tri-pod cameras may not be set-up at any time. Again, video taping is permitted, but
only of the routine(s) that are being performed by your participant's team.
Scoresheets will be distributed to all teams at the conclusion of the competition. Only an authorized team advisor/coach
who is designated at team registration may pick these up. A photo I.D. will be required for scoresheet pick up. Recaps
may be requested via the USA website (usa.varsity.com) following the competition.
Due to the many crossover participants, performance times have been scheduled as best as possible. We have done
everything we can so the teams can make the warm up times at Station #3. However, warm up times may have
conflicts and cannot be adjusted.
USA Spirit Opens are not qualifying competitions for any USA Nationals event.
Each performer will receive a participation trading pin. Trophies will be presented to 50% of the teams competing in
each division. For all first place teams, each individual member on the team will receive a 1st place “Champion” Tshirt. For divisions with 2 or more teams competing, first place teams will also receive a Championship banner.
