General Rules

This section attempts to make the team program as clear and accessible as possible to those who wish to submit videos for judging.

EVERYONE should look at the sections titled “Rules & Judging,” “Competition Submission,” “Registration & Payment,” and “FAQ.”

In addition, please thoroughly review the rules and expectations for your desired level of training and competition. When in doubt, look at the video! If what you submit looks the same as the video, you’re going to be okay!
