21 New England Regional Pop Warner 2018 Cheerleading Championships Driving Directions to the Tsongas Center 300 Martin Luther King Jr. Way Lowell, MA Martin Luther King Jr. Way Lowell, MA Directions: Please go to: COACHES RESPONSIBILITES: ALL COACHES MUST BE WITH THEIR TEAM FOR THE DURATION OF COMPETITION DAY: FROM ENTERING TO EXITING THE TSONGAS CENTER AND ALL TIMES IN BETWEEN!

22 ARRIVAL TIME: All rostered participants and their coaches must arrive via the 300 Martin Luther King Jr. Way. IMPORTANT: You must arrive as a team. Individual cheerleaders without their full team and coaches will not gain entrance alone! BUS DROP OFF/PICK UP: Buses will be permitted to drop all participants off at 300 Martin Luther King Jr. Way. Buses will then be directed to park elsewhere. IMPORTANT: If your team is returning home via buses, they will meet their bus at the Martn Luther King Jr Way entrance. REGISTRATION: Please stop at the registration table when you arrive at the facility to register your team. CHECKS: Each team is required to leave a $500 check that will be applied to your account at Nationals in the case that you have advanced forward. For those teams that are not advancing, your check will be given back to you the same day in your envelope along with your score sheets. ROUTINE COMMENTARY: A couple more things have come up regarding the videos. Please keep in mind for those teams that do get to advance to Nationals, you will have to this as well. They are working on the form now but at least you may be ahead of the game for what we are asking you to do now. NO VERBAL CRITIQUE FOR 2018 Even if your team has a license, this is not for the videographer. We are under the license of the National office and they don't cover the videographer. It is extremely expensive for videographer to get a license not knowing the songs that all of you paid for. He would be charged $300 per song that is used during the entire day. This is a nightmare for us to control. THEREFORE, EVERYONE MUST PUT IN WRITING A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF YOUR PERFORMANCE ROUTINE. THINK OF HOW THEY DO ROUTINES IN THE OLYMPICS FOR SKATING. IF WE DON'T RECEIVE A COPY OF THIS DETAIL, YOUR TEAM WILL NOT BE VIDEO TAPED AT ALL. I have no idea who is doing the commentating. Ben at Varsity Media hired his own person. I don't know if they have cheerleading background or not. So, you need to be specific. If you would like to send a copy to me in advance, send it to karencheer28@gmail.com. Please have the coach leave a copy at the registration desk along with your $500 check. Please keep in mind that if you are sending them in to me via , don't send them the last day and expect me to have a copy. I will be busy working on other things.

This person will be directed to the DJ s table (after team photo, if applicable). IMPORTANT: It is greatly recommended the music person have more than one copy of the music with him/her! WARM-UP TIME: Each team will be given approximately 5-6 minutes on the warm-up mat. This time is used for stretching, tumbling, stunting and a quiet run through of their routine. There are two (2) mats in the warm-up area for team s use. COMPETITION MAT SET-UP: The mat is 54 x42 in size. The mat strips and straps will be set vertically, facing the judges. There will be an X in the middle of the mat. All participants will enter onto the mat from the back center (after warm-up). COACHES CORNER: The coaching staff of each team will be directed to the coaches corner (once the team has taken the floor) to watch their team s performance COMPETITION BEGINS: The announcer will call the team to the mat. Example: Pope s Pride you may take the floor. Once the team is on the mat and set, he will announce their name for second time and say you may begin. This is their signal to begin: Example: Pope s Pride you may begin! THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE

23 SPOTTERS/FLOOR JUDGES: Please make sure your participants are aware there are professionals spotters (3-4) on the mat during their performance. Also, there will be up to ten (10) chairs surrounding the mat with penalty/legality judges.

Please have two (2) members of each team and One (1) coach available to receive their trophy when they are awarded. Awards will be given out at the end of the Jr. Pee Wee and Pee Wee session for those respective teams.
