5.3 What happens when I arrive?
Remember that classes will probably be in progress. You should present yourself
and your competitor's ticket at the door where a steward will meet you and give
you directions as to where your class is being held. Access to a competition room will
not be possible until all competitors in a class have completed their performances.
Where facilities permit, you will be shown to a room suitable for you to warm up
prior to your class.
5.4 What do I do if I am late for my class?
Above all, don't panic! We want you to be able to perform if possible, and at
your best. Some classes can have a larger number of competitors and therefore take
some time, so you may not miss it altogether.
When all competitors present have performed, the platform steward will call the
names of all those who have not played in case of late arrivals, and you will be able
to perform at this point. Once names have been called, and the adjudicator starts the
formal adjudication, then regrettably further performances will no longer be possible.
Where possible we will try and enable you to warm up if there is time, but this
may be limited or not possible, depending on the circumstances.
5.5. How do you decide in what order competitors perfom?
Generally in the order in which entries are received. However if there are small
classes with similar competitors, orders may be changed to try as far as possible to
avoid you playing again in quick succession. If you think that there may be a clash
if you have entered classes in more than one section on the same day, then you should
contact the Section Secretary(ies) as soon as possible.
