3 Upon entry to venue- Find your team rep at pre-determined spot. (team rep will alert you to location); Because of the high spectator cost for entry to event, I suggest that team rep meets team in lobby so that if any parents want to forgo event to save money, they may. Longer time at event due to it being a national event- Expect a longer stay at this event due to it being a national event. If you must leave early your athlete must make up that time on the front end of the schedule. (leave an hour early then you must have athlete arrive an hour earlier than scheduled time/ this must be coordinated through your all star director). If an athlete leaves early without making up time on the front end of his/her schedule he/she may be dismissed from the ACE program. Who should cheer for our team- Because of the high cost for entry to event the parent/spectator pool may be smaller for this event. We ask that all ACE athletes and parent help cheer for all ACE teams that compete during your time at event. Is there a parent/fan area- There is not always a parent fan area where parents and fans can get an up close view of routines. It is up to each individual event producers. We usually find out upon arrival based off of set up. If there is- I encourage you to pack it out and make it loud! Because of the high cost for entry to event the parent/spectator pool may be smaller for this event. Concessions- Concessions will be similar to previous events. You will find it to be typical convention type food and prices. Cash will be needed. Athletes are not allowed to leave venue for food. If convention/arena food is not in your favor please pack lunch in backpack. Before or after the event please check out Your Pie located adjacent to the BJCC. Your Pie is a pizzeria owned by an ACE family. Vendors- BIG BID usually has a fun vendor booth with cheer merchandise available to purchase. There will be no ACE merchandise available for purchase. Cash is preferred. Awards- If you choose to leave you also forfeit any merchandise/medals/trophies that is given out. If you do stay please let us know immediately if ever your athlete doesn t receive an award that the team has been given at an event. Sign Out- Make sure you sign your athlete out with your team rep. SCORING- All divisions will be a 50/50 score. Saturdays score is worth 50% of total and Sundays score will comprise the other 50% of total. ECC will be using a highly decorated Worlds quality and experienced judging panel.
