Proposal 22: Required Practice Time [ Revision 4 ]
Committee: FreestyleSubmitted on 2015-01-23
Status: Passed on February 03, 2015
Background
Right now there is nothing in the Rulebook that requires the hosts to provide practice time for Group, Jr. Expert, and Expert competitors on the actual competition floor. I believe that it should be required. For the past couple of Unicons this has been done by the Chief Judge but it is not written as a rule anywhere.
Proposal
No Old Rule exists.
New Rule:
5.23 Pre-Event Practice Time
In order to give fair practice time in the Freestyle competition venue to the high level competitors, thirty minutes for practice must be reserved immediately before each Jr. Expert and Expert competition. During each thirty minute warm-up period only the competitors for that event are allowed to be on the competition floor.
Each group that is competing also must be given time to rehearse on the competition floor. The Artistic Director is responsible for publishing a rehearsal schedule at least two weeks before the competition day. The amount of time allotted to each group is to be determined by the Artistic Director, however, each group must be given the same amount of rehearsal time and it cannot be less than fifteen minutes.
Body
This rule is proposed to ensure that all high level competitors get an even and fair amount of time to warmup and rehearse before their competition.
