9 ARMED EXHIBITION DRILL

1. Units must contain at least 9 but no more than 13 cadets including the leader. Unit members must be armed with a rifle. The platoon leader may be armed with a rifle or a sword.

2. Before a platoon starts this event, the leader will coordinate with the Head Judge and advise the judge where the platoon wants the Head Judge to be positioned for the purpose of its "Report In" and “Report Out”.

3. There is no mandatory start/stop area for this event. The platoon leader will advise the Head Judge of the team's starting/stopping area before beginning its routine. The start area may be entirely inside of, or entirely outside of, or some members inside of and some members outside of, the established boundary lines. No boundary violations will be assessed here.

4. The drill routine must be at least 6 minutes long but no more than 8 minutes long. Timing for the event will begin at the conclusion of the “REPORT IN” and timing stops at the conclusion of the “Report Out”.

5. If any platoon is still on the drill floor at 8 minutes, the Head Judge will immediately halt their performance and order them off the floor. The Head Judge will assess one penalty point per second for each second under the 6 minute minimum and 25 penalty points if the platoon goes past 8 minutes.

6. Example Report In. Salute in a military manner, and report: "Drill Sergeant/SIR/M'am (NAME OF UNIT) REQUESTS PERMISSION TO DRILL." After the Head Judge grants permission, the sequence will continue (Judges - do not delay here as the platoon's time is running).

7. Teams will perform a sequence of movements of their own choice and will be judged on the military flavor of the routine, team member military bearing, alignment and skill of the movements, floor coverage, etc. (See Safety Notes at the bottom)

8. Armed exhibition will be conducted in the Auxiliary Gym.

9. The head Judge will assess penalty points for each occasion during the drill routine on which any team member steps over Red Base Line (e.g.: If 4 people are in a file, and that entire file steps on or over the line, then 4 points are assessed for that one violation) or makes contact with a wall. EXCEPTION: No penalties attach when the team starts or stops its sequence. Penalty points are only assigned during the drill performance.

10. There will be a twenty five point penalty for each dropped rifle during exhibition drill. This automatic penalty will be assessed only by the head Judge:

 A dropped rifle is one where the entire weapon is on the floor. A rifle is not considered dropped if during a toss or a spin its butt strikes the floor and is brought back under control before it falls completely. Although such a misadventure may be considered by the judge, it does not involve an automatic penalty.

11. The judges will be advised of the following key points to use as guidelines in judging platoon exhibition drill:

 Military flavor of routine. 10  Minimum number of verbal commands.  Covering the entire drill floor.  Continuity of movements, without pauses, or hesitations.  Team member appearance, posture, bearing, dress, and cover.  Originality of design, and execution.  Skill in execution of all drill movements including rifle spins and tosses.  Inclusion of all cadets in the entire routine.  Team's style and showmanship.

SAFETY ISSUES. The following will not be allowed because of possible injury of cadets and damage of the drill floor.

1. There will be no pyramids or lifting of cadets in the air. Cadets will not leave their feet!! 2. There will be no blind throws. Rifles may only be exchanged between cadets face to face. Definition of a blind throw: When a weapon (rifle, sword, or saber) is exchanged without face to face contact with the person receiving the weapon. I stress weapons will only be exchanged with another person face to face! No over the head to the rear throws! This will disqualify your team! Adjust your routine accordingly! 3. Rifles will not be thrown over formations of cadets. 4. There will be no spring boarding (This is when cadets bend at the knees to obtain leverage to throw their rifles). 5. Rifles will not be thrown excessively high or spun above the head (helicopter type moves).

NOTE: Difficulty of rifle movements will not be evaluated, skill of movements will be! Difficult rifle movements (triple and quad spins/throws) may press cadets to accomplish movements they are not sufficiently prepared for and result in injury or damage to drill floor! Sorry this is the price we pay to offer armed exhibition.

ALL RIFLE BUTTS AND MUZZLES MUST HAVE RUBBER PROTECTORS TO PREVENT FLOOR DAMAGE. ANY BANGING OF RIFLE BUTTS ON THE FLOOR WITHOUT PROTECTION WILL RESULT IN THE IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF THE ROUTINE AND DISQUALIFICATION FROM THAT EVENT. THERE WILL BE NO BANGING OF MUZZLES OR FLASH SUPRESSORS ON THE FLOOR.

Breaking Ties. Once scores are tallied if there is a tie for any of the top three places ties will be broken using in order:  Head Judge Scores  High Divisional Color Guard Score  High Divisional Platoon Score

EXCEPTION: As noted above, no such penalties attach when the team starts or stops its sequence.
