General Rules and Procedures

We will publish the schedule of events and room assignments one week prior to the event. Teams should arrive at Lee’s Summit West HS, front entrance near flag poles, between 0700-0715. The Commanders’ meeting is held at 0730 in the Wrestling Room for last minute changes. We will attempt to resolve all questions/concerns in advance, contact us at 816-986-4024 or by e-mail at [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] .

Make checks payable to LSWHS AFJROTC. Individual Drill Down tickets are $.50 per entry.

Each school may field up to two Unarmed, Armed, Color Guard or New Cadet teams. Only one team from each school may compete for trophies in each event and for the overall championship in each event. Schools must indicate which team’s score will count towards trophies prior to competing.

Cadets may perform in more than one event but not on different teams in the same event.

We will offer the following events:

Unarmed Regulation (10 to 16) Armed Regulation (10 to 16) Color Guard (4) New Cadet (9 to 16)

Above numbers include commander

New Cadet Squad Drill is a separate event and does not count towards the overall championship. Each school may enter two teams. Cadets may compete on only one new cadet team. Team commanders may be cadets in their first or second year of JROTC.

Individual Drill Down (IDD) heats will take place throughout the day beginning at 0830. The top 20% of each heat will advance to the final. Cadets may enter as many heats as they wish but once a cadet qualifies for the final they may not enter another heat. Footgear will not have taps, plates, or other devices on the bottom of the footgear. Only uniforms worn in other events are authorized for the IDD event. No civilian clothes. Tickets for each heat are available at the unit check-in or the concession stand. Cost is $.50 per ticket.

Safety / Security We will assign each school a classroom to use as a team room. Food and drinks are not allowed in team rooms. Please do not use any type of shoe or rifle polish inside the building. Security and cleanliness of the team rooms is the responsibility of each team.

The Lee’s Summit West High School AFJROTC Booster Club will operate concessions in the commons area. We will offer doughnuts, pastries, juice, milk, coffee, hot chocolate, hot dogs, bottled soda, bottled water and an assortment of snacks. All food and drink must stay in the commons area. Additionally, there are numerous dining options in the surrounding area in Lee’s Summit.

The drill area for all team events will be slightly larger than a standard basketball court. In the Field House (Unarmed), the drill area will extend approximately 3’ around the perimeter of the court, designated by a large blue painted outline. The Armed, Color Guard and New Cadet will be in the Auxiliary Gyms with the boundaries being the walls and bleachers. Solo/tandem Exhibition will be conducted in the Wrestling room.

All weapons for any event will have butt plate protectors, preferably rubber, to prevent floor damage. We will designate an area for cadets to practice/share armed demonstration skills. This is the only area where spinning, tossing, or other forms of armed demonstration drill is allowed. If cadets violate this rule their teams will lose 100 points off of their team score for final trophy placement.

Teams are not allowed to discharge weapons or use any form of pyrotechnic device during the meet. Bayonets are not authorized inside any Lee’s Summit West High School building. Additionally, NO TAPS on the bottoms of shoes to protect the gym floors’ finish.

Team commanders or members may not use command sequence sheets, count cadence, whistle, chant, or sing during regulation drill performance. The head judge for each event will assess a penalty points for each occurrence.

Please ensure the taping or photographing does not interfere with teams’ performance.

Each competition area has ample seating for spectators. We encourage all spectators to use the seating provided and not stand along the walls or bleachers so as to hinder any competitor or obstruct a judge’s field of view.

We will identify a judge to preside as “Meet Head Judge”. The Meet Head Judge will (if possible) settle any controversies. The reference Drill Manuals are: AFMAN 36-2203, FM 3-21.5, NAVMC.2691.

In the event of a tie for an individual event, we will use the head judge’s score to break the tie. If the head judge’s score doesn’t break the tie we will use the Uniformity of Appearance category from the event to determine the winner. If a tie still exists for the Overall Meet Championship, the winner will be the team with the highest New Cadet results.

We will award trophies to three places in each team event.

The decision of judges in each event is final. No appeals or protests will be considered. As a matter of proper conduct, discussion with judges during the meet about any facet of the competition is prohibited. Any questions about any portion of this competition from cadets or instructors should be directed to the Head Judge.

We will award a 1st place trophy in IDD and medals to the 2nd - 5th place finishers. Cadets participating in Final IDD will be in uniform, participation in civilian clothes or travel attire is not allowed.

We will make every attempt to have completed scoring sheets available after the awards ceremony. If not, we will mail them on the following Monday.

The awards ceremony will be at 1530 in the Field House or shortly after the individual knockout championship final, whichever is sooner. All units will form up on the main floor in military uniform. Awards presentation is a military formation and as such, Cadets will be in their appropriate drill uniform, no civilian clothes or travel attire.
