1 2018 FFCC Championships Cadet Novice, Cadet, and Scholastic Site: The Florida State Fairgrounds 4800 U.S. 301 Tampa, FL Dates and Times: Friday, pril 6th Held in the Expo Hall Tickets: Tickets are $20 per show. Children 6 & under are free. Tickets for Saturday and Sunday are $25 Team Check-in: Located at Gate 1, which is the same place wristbands are sold. Team Directors may always bring their team and supporters directly to check-in if they wish to distribute wristbands that way. 1. Wristbands will be given to the team director or team director designee only. To designate someone else to pick up their wristbands for them, team directors can give their FFCC Director Credential to the individual going to check-in on their behalf. 2. When showing up at check-in, directors (or their designees) will inform the FFCC staff members at the table how many performers are performing at that day s show. This number must be equal to or less than the number of performers listed on the roster. lso, this number MUST EQUL the number of performers that the Timing and Penalties judge will count when your team is on the floor. 3. Directors (or their designees) will sign out their wristbands with the FFCC staff at the check in table, and also sign a statement verifying they understand the consequences for declaring an inaccurate number of performers. 4. If you have members of your team, who are on the roster and in attendance at the show, but are not performing that day (injury, etc.), they should be included in your performer count for that day s show when you check-in. Then, when your ensemble takes the floor the team director should physically point them out to the Timing and Penalties judge so the difference between performers

2 declared at check-in versus performers who are on the floor that day can be reconciled without a penalty. Non participating members of the team should wear a uniform, warm up suit, or some other clothing that makes it clear to everyone that they are actually a part of the team. 5. Teams will be charged a 5 point penalty at that day s show for each performer wristband that was issued at check-in, but not worn by a performer. In addition, the ensemble and the team director will be immediately suspended from the FFCC, pending a hearing with the FFCC oard. Please contact an FFCC oard member if you have any specific questions on these procedures. Performer wristbands will only be honored on the day their performance. Independent colorguard directors, please be aware that your performers who are staff members for scholastic colorguards will NOT be able to obtain their performer wristband prior to your check-in on your performance day. If they arrive early, they must use a staff band for their scholastic guard or purchase their own band. ll Independent Units will be checked in as a whole. No individual check-ins will be allowed.
