STAGING Coaches and judges, as well as athletes, are required to enter and exit the competition floor through staging. Coaches and judges who are caught going through the wrong area and cutting across the floor are subject to having their credential removed. Yes, going all the way down the floor to staging is a pain, but to allow uncontrolled access to the competition floor is a safety hazard and is unprofessional. Coaches are cautioned to make sure that athletes obey this rule.
HOSPITALITY There is no meal plan for the 2012 Stars and Stripes Cup. Clubs are responsible for room and board for their athletes and coaches. A hospitality area for judges will be provided.
PARKING TBA
EVENT MERCHANDISE Northwest Designs will be providing 2012 Stars and Stripes Cup specific merchandise
