FAQ’s
On the day of the competition
How do we check in at the competition?
How does warm-up and holding work?
Who can enter the warm-up area?
Warm-up staff have a list of which coaches and athletes are permitted into warm-up during each time slot and will check attendance at the entrance.
Please note we have members of staff allocated to starting/stopping music in warm-up. Supported music types in warm-up include CDs, lightning port (older iPhone models), USB-C port (newer Androids and iPhones), or the regular headphone jack. If you uploaded your team’s music with your registration you will be able to access that in warm up. However we recommend you bring a back up option.
Where do we submit our music?
– If you have not uploaded your music you must present your music to the sound desk by the judging stand at least 1 routine prior to your own team’s performance. Supported music types at events include CDs, lightning port (older iPhone models), USB-C port (newer Androids and iPhones), or the regular headphone jack.
Can the team see their performance after competing?
Yes, there will be a replay TV screen in the arena where athletes can re-watch their routine after competing. There is approx. 5 min delay between the broadcast and the performance, so make sure to head directly to the replay TV screen after performing.
Can I review scoring/legalities at events?
Yes you can. After your team competes, the Primary Contact on your registration will be notified by email that your scores have been released (this will be approximately 20 minutes after your performance time). You will be able to access your scores directly through the Ideal Logic system that you used to register with us.
After looking at your scoresheet, if you have any questions you can head to our score check area. Our scoring experts will answer your question and if necessary they will review your routine video.
If you receive any legality or point deductions during your routine, your Primary Contact will receive an email notifying you of this. You will be able to review the penalties and if needed, visit our score check area for further clarification.
