DI’VE GOT A SECRET PERFORMANCE SITE CHANGE! CHECK THE MAP!

Your Volunteer should check-in at the Volunteer table when arriving at the tournament site.

Make sure your team has all of the paperwork that their Team Challenge requires. HINT: You may want to keep an extra set of paperwork in your vehicle because forms are not returned to teams after the tournament and you will need them if you go on. Also, there will NOT be a COPY MACHINE available at the school.

TEAM CHALLENGE PERFORMANCE INFO
There are prop rooms available for teams to store their props. DO NOT BRING FOOD OR DRINKS INTO THESE ROOMS. There is not room for teams to congregate in the prop rooms. All of your props should be moved out of the prop rooms after your performance. Remember it is not interference for team supporters to help team members move props. No glitter or paint is to be brought into the building.

Supporters may help move props, but all other phases of the tournament must be completed independently by team members. Refer to the “Rules of the Road” for more information on Interference.

Teams should report to the prep area for their Team Challenge at least 20 minutes prior to their competition time. NOTE: Switching TraDItions teams must report to their prep area no later than 15 minutes before their scheduled StuDIo Time.

Team managers may stay with their teams until the prep area appraiser asks them to leave. At that time they will take their seats in the designated Team Manager seats in the performance venue.

Team Managers are responsible for picking up a copy of their team’s TEAM CHALLENGE RAW SCORE. One team member may accompany the manager. The Head Appraiser will give the raw score sheet to the Team Manager and will mark the scores with the time. The Team Manager will initial the score sheet noting the time. The Team Manager will have 30 minutes from that time to declare if he/she feels there is an error or misunderstanding in the team’s score. Remember, only objective scores can be reviewed.

Instant challenge info
All Team Members, accompanied by one adult should report to the Instant Challenge area no earlier than 15 minutes prior to their performance time. NO ONE ELSE is permitted in this area. Scores for Instant Challenge performances are not released to the teams.

Please use any extra time you have after you team’s performances to dispose of your trash, pack your belongings and clean up as needed around the building. All props should be taken with you when you leave the school. We can show our appreciation to Triton Elementary by leaving the building the way we found it. Thank you for your help!
