 General Rules 

*Failure to follow any of the regulations below could result in a point deduction. All decisions by GPSCC Event Directors are FINAL!       Time Limits: Cheer teams - 2 minutes and 30 seconds There is no minimum time requirements on any type of routine. Timing and judging of routines will begin with the first organized movement or the first note of music. Timing will end with a last note of music or the ending motion or pose is held. Introductions, spell-outs and/or organized entrances are considered part of the routine and are timed as part of the performance. All participants should walk/spirit onto the floor and immediately start their routine after placement of any props. Teams can use any combination of cheer and music. There are no requirements on this.   Any un-sportsmanlike conduct while entering or exiting the floor may result in a .5 deduction.   Mascots are welcome to perform as members of their squad, but must adhere to all rules and regulations expected of team members.   The main performance surface will be approximately 42 feet deep by 42 feet wide. For safety purposes, we require everyone to perform their routine on the performance surface. However, there will be no deductions for stepping off the surface.   All routines must be suitable for viewing by audiences of all ages. Vulgar or suggestive material is restricted and will result in a .5 deduction for each incident. Vulgar or suggestive material is defined as any movement or choreography implying something improper or indecent, appearing offensive or sexual in content, and/or relaying lewd or profane gestures or implications. Vulgarity will be determined at the discretion of the judges and/or GPSCC Event Directors.   Please bring TWO HIGH-QUALITY copies of your music to the GPSCC Event. CDs! No tapes are allowed.   In the event that a routine is interrupted, the following steps will be taken: Due to failure of GPSCC equipment: The coach will have to decide within 2 minutes if they would like to perform again. Judging will resume at the point where the music was interrupted. The team will be required to take the stage immediately for the 2nd performance. Due to failure of teams’ music/equipment: The coach will have to decide within 2 minutes if they would like to perform again. The coach must provide a 2nd CD and the team must immediately continue where they left off in the routine. Judging will resume at the point where the music was interrupted. They will not get a 3rd chance should the music cut out a 2nd time. Injury: If a team member is injured on stage severely enough for the music to be stopped by the coach and/or event directors, the team must continue from the point where they left off. They must immediately return to the stage to perform after the injured member has been removed from the performance area (2 minutes maximum). No extra practice time will be given, and judging will resume at the point where the routine was interrupted by the injury. *All final decisions will be made at the discretion of the Event Directors.   One (1) representative of your group/individual will be responsible for running the music during the competition. This person MUST remain at the sound area throughout the entire performance. In the event a routine is delayed due to operator error, timing of your routine will continue. No unnecessary team members, parents etc. are allowed at the music table.   Coaches are allowed to sit on the stage/floor for TINY ONLY. Coaches are not allowed to be on the stage/performance floor for any other divisions. Coaches can always stand in the designated coaches area or VIP seating area (if applicable), which is typically located directly in front of the stage.  Also, no team will be allowed to place “space markers” on the stage except for Tiny teams.  This could result in a deduction.   INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY - VERY IMPORTANT! All GPSCC Events will go on regardless of the weather conditions – rain, sleet or snow! Please make any necessary travel arrangements so that you will not have any problems making it to the event on time. No special favors or performance times will be granted to those who arrive late for any reason (weather or otherwise). Furthermore, no refunds will be given on any GPSCC expenses. Please keep an eye on the local and national weather forecasts so that you are prepared for any inclement weather.
