Tournament Policies

Policy for Schedule Requests & Withdrawals

The last day for Tournament scheduling requests to be made is 14 days before the event.

If you do not notify us by this date, it is your team’s responsibility to contact another team in the same Challenge and Level, and exchange times with them—and to NOTIFY us of the change ahead of time.

Send all special scheduling requests to cre8iowa@gmail.com. Make sure you include your team number (112-XXXXX) so that we don’t confuse you with someone else!

If your team withdraws from ANY Tournament, please let us know right away, as this affects the schedule.

Site Restrictions

Please note that there is a zero tolerance weapons policy in effect at all Tournaments. This means that no weapons, real or facsimile, may be brought to the site.

The use of dry ice must be pre-approved by the Tournament Director.

Helium balloons are allowed as long as appropriate safety precautions are followed, as outlined in Rules of the Road. Helium balloons must remain under control at all times.

Lights may not be turned off during any performance. This is a safety issue.

If you have questions about site restrictions, contact these individuals, as applicable:

• Sub-State Tournament Director: Bruce Antion, bruceantion@yahoo.com
• State Tournament Director: Bruce Antion, bruceantion@yahoo.com

Conduct Concerns

During the time that teams are not competing, they need to be accompanied by an adult. Please be aware that classes or other activities may be taking place at the same time teams are there, so it is important to be quiet in the hallways and respectful of other people’s needs.

There is no dumping of Challenge materials on the Tournament site unless a team has secured approval. Teams that discard any part of their Challenge solution at the Tournament site may receive an Unsportsmanlike Conduct deduction.

All team members and children must have adult supervision.
