An individual may only enter ONE Division and perform only ONCE, regardless of his or her involvement on multiple teams/clubs.
YES, a pair or quad group may compete if their team is not entered in the Nationals (team) competition. The Stunt Competition is however NOT open to individuals who are not currently ON an existing team (club or school)
NOTE: PCA reserves the option to impose a qualifying standard and/or a number limit for the stunt competition.
The Stunt Competition will commence upon completion of the last team to perform in the Collegiate Division. Coaches polled requested that the stunt competition not interfere with team preparation or performance.
The same rules apply to the partner stunt competition, that govern the team event.
Each co-ed partner stunt group is required to provide their own spotter. The spotter may assist in catches (for safety) and have "light" involvement in catching double twisting dismounts but are NOT permitted to reach in for stabilization of skills or to "bump" tosss etc. Safety is of course the primary concern but partner groups that require assistance on tosses and/or stabilization of skills should not enter the competition.
