TIME LIMITS
 It
is important to be on time to report for each scheduled performance.
If for any reason that you will be late, please report to the
announcer in the specified area. If another area is running behind,
your performance will be rescheduled. If for any reason that a team is
abusing the timeliness of the schedule, American Dance/Drill Team®
reserves the right to penalize that team or performance.
IMPORTANT TEAM TIME LIMIT INFORMATION: Backdrops will need to be
rehearsed for set up and breakdown procedures by your parents or students.
In the past, we have been very lax in not penalizing overage on set up time.
SHOW PRODUCTION will allow
10 minutes for setup, performance and break down. For all other categories,
you will have 4 minutes for set up, performance and break down.
If there is any exception to this, it must be approved through the
American office.
Penalties will be assessed in the amount of one point per minute
per judge for any time overage.
The head judge will assess this penalty after the judges have issued
their scores on the routine.
Keep in mind that many contest locations have limited prop storage on site.
All props will need to be able to pass easily through a 7 foot door without
the center bar. Please contact our office if you have any questions.
