GROUP/PARTNER STUNT ROUTINE (60 SECS)
2 persons in partner stunt section & maximum of 5 persons in group stunt section. Only practice stunts & tumbling under the guidance of experienced & qualified coaches. Performed to high energy music, your aim is to safely execute as many stunts as possible in 60 seconds. Your routine must display
safety, technique & transition. If you require a spotter they must follow the USASF/IASF guidelines. This spotter is not involved in any other form of execution in the routine.
DUO/INDIVIDUAL CHEER ROUTINE (60 SECS)
1 or 2 athletes must perform a routine to high-energy music. Your routine must display safety, technique and transitions. Routines should include cheer, dance, tumbling, jumps and motions.
Levels Novice to 6
** You can’t have Out Of Age athletes in specialty items **
Athletes can only crossover up, or down 1 level or will incur 1
point penalty e.g. level 1 can crossover to level 2. A fee will be charged per crossover. All crossover athletes must be specifically listed when registering. An individual will not be permitted to crossover from one program to another within the same event. Therefore, an athlete may compete on one team and crossover to one more team from the same gym during the competition. All age requirements must be met.
Each team is allowed a maximum of 2 Out of Age Athletes (OAA). The athletes who are OAA must follow the below criteria: All OOA athletes must be indicated on registration form and must only compete in the level specified during the registration process.
OAAs cannot crossover to another team; e.g a 21 year old who competes on a Senior team as an OAA cannot compete on a Senior+ / Open team as a legal aged athlete. I.e. a 12 year old who competes on IASF Open team as an OAA, cannot also compete on a Junior/Senior/ Senior+ team as a legal aged athlete. If this scenario occurs a 1 point penalty per athlete per day of competition will be applied to their score. The team that receives the penalty will be decided during registration process.
Below are the ages OAA must follow. The OAA must be within 2 years of either side of age grid by 31st December 2020.
We are offering score review for coaches for difficulty ranges, deductions
and legalities ONLY
To help with this we ask that each programme contacts us, naming one
coach or club owner as your ‘Score review Contact’ and providing us with their cell phone number. The Score Review Official will text this person
when any score sheets from your programme become available. This is
to overcome the issue raised with us about some coaches missing announcements that score-sheets are ready as they were in warm-up or
outside the main arena. It will be the responsibility of the person you select as Score Review Contact to relay this information onto the relevant coach(es). While each programme is limited to ONE Score Review Contact, we will accept two names & numbers from those programmes with a high quantity of teams competing. To ensure that we provide the best service in relaying this information to everyone, the MC will also make
announcements once score sheets are ready.
The process for Score Review is as follows:
NOTE FOR CHEER SPECIALTY:
Speciality scoresheets will be available for collection approx 10 min after performance, please make sure you check these before prize giving. We
will not be sending text messages for these.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PROCESS FOR REVIEW IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. IF CHANGES ARE MADE YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED CLOSER TO THE EVENT.
Battle in The Bay 2021 will be using the the Australian Cheer Sports Alliance (ACSA) scoring system. This include update scoring for the Novice Divisions. You can find the full scoring system on the New Zealand Cheer Union website – www.nzcu.org
MUSIC
Please email your music rebecca@baytwisters.co.nz by July 11. Emailing music reduces the risk of any music issues. Time limits as specified in each division and will be taken from the first note of the music and timing will stop with the last note or movement (whichever is the latter). Battle in The Bay will take no responsibility in respects to the licensing of any music submitted by a club or individual.
REGISTRATIONS
To ensure we release the schedule in a timely manner, we ask that you
register online before as soon as you can and before our cut off date.
SPORTSMANSHIP
We expect each athlete, coach, parent and spectator to conduct a high
level of sportsmanship before during and after the competition event.
Any behaviour that is deamed to be bullying, offensive and disrespectful
may result in disqualification of associated team.
We aim to provide a safe and encouraging environment, but to achieve this requires a collective effort from all those that attend.
Liability Waiver – please complete online.
Music Licence Waiver – please complete online.
Refund policy is at the discretion of the Event Producer – Battle in the Bay
We look forward to a successful competition this year and great atmosphere and vibe from the Mount!
