Twirling Unlimited

Description

Groups perform to their own music. No props or backdrops allowed. No more than one baton per member. Timing begins and ends with music. There is no “Beginner” Team Classification in TU. However, to accommodate teams still at a developmental level, a “Level 1 Team” division is offered in the Dance Twirl event. Level 1 Teams are restricted in the same manner as Level 1 solos: no member may do more than a one turn, and no more than 2 consecutive elbows. In addition, no member may do any high toss tricks with illusions or any gymnastics move underneath. Any Level 1 team performing tricks in excess of restrictions will be presumed to be competing "for comments only” and will not be given scores, placing or awards. This is considered an open event only, winners do not receive a Regional or International title at Championship competitions. Teams are permitted to enter both Level 1 and the open or Regional Dance Twirl event, as long as they meet the appropriate restrictions when competing in the Level 1 event. Time Limit: 1:30-3 minutes. General Penalties (assessed for all team events): - .5 per drop of baton or other equipment - .1 per unison - .5 per fall - .1 per alignment error - .2 per out of step - .1 per second over or under time Additional penalties: - .1 per break/slip Due to safety concerns, mounts may be one tier only. No mounts may be higher than thigh-high mounts and no tossing of performers is allowed. . “Lifts” and “mounts” are different elements.
