SPECTATOR TICKETS

All Non-Competitors will need to purchase a General Admission spectator ticket.
Athletes – Your spectator ticket will be included with your event registration and will be good for all events on all days of the Expo for any events that you choose to compete in.

ATHLETES WHILE RUNNING:

We will only have one athlete at a time on each course along with the three judges.
Each athlete is allowed ONE coach to follow along during their run.
Athletes will be called to the Warm-up area when there are 5 athletes ahead of their run. That allows about 20 minutes of warm up. Athletes who need more than that, may warm up outside or elsewhere in the facility prior to being called.
Athletes will be responsible to be at the Warm-up area when called. If an athlete misses their call or their run, they may be disqualified. We will attempt to slot the athlete back in; but we cannot guarantee it.
Videos of each course for each class and rules will be posted as the Walk Through.
We recommend Liquid Chalk and will have it available. We will not provide dry chalk.
The next five competitors (and their coach) are the only ones allowed in course area per course. There will be a Video stand in front of each course (behind the barriers) to video the Athlete currently on the course.
This is at the Convention center with chairs and bleachers set up around the courses. Courses will be surrounded by barricades. There will be plenty of standing room around the courses. Please do Not stand in front of any seats or bleachers.
Coaches are not required to be UNAA Coach certified, but must have approval of a parent or guardian for anyone 12 and under.

UNAA PRELIM FORMAT

Prelims will be run on a point system.
There will be a maximum of 3 fails per course. After 3 fails, the athletes run is over. They many finish the course but will not receive a score for the remaining obstacles.
An athlete’s time will end with last obstacle completed.
Each obstacle will be worth 1 point for full completion.
For more difficult obstacles, each obstacle can be worth 2 points and have a halfway point, which must be clearly marked with a tape mark or other.
Completion of halfway is worth 1 point but is not a fail.
We expect Judges to make the best calls possible, but they do make mistakes. If an athlete chooses to appeal a call, there will be forms to do so at the sign up desk. Athletes appealing a call must complete the form along with a $50 fee at which point the head judge will conduct a video review at the production table. If the appeal is successful, the athlete will be refunded the $50.
Top 15 or 20% (not rounded up) in each class move on to MAIN EVENT FINALS.

All main event finals will be run with maximum of 3 fails per course. After 3 fails, the athletes run is over and the athlete must depart the course. The 1- and 2-point system will apply.
