About every 90 minutes of competing routines, we will have a 15 minute stage & equipment testing. This is your chance to ensure the equipment works for you. If anything needs to be altered, please alert a stage manager asap. Competitors will need to share this time and space with others competing or will risk disqualification. This will be the only time to test the stage and equipment before competing.
Aerial with YOUR Equipment:
We will have up to 5 rigging points at various heights available whether it is for your lyra(s), silk(s) or sling(s). Other apparatuses will need to be approved. You will attach your rigging to a single point cable.
Your equipment will need to be inspected and hung by our certified riggers in order to compete. If they decide it is not acceptable, you can use our equipment instead.
We will have 3-4 minutes per routine for the riggers to rig your equipment and for competitors to quickly test it. If competitors go over the time allotted, they will be charged or penalized. If it is due to a rigger, the competitor will not be penalized. 
ALL aerial routines are required to use crash mats. ALL aerial routines must start & end on the ground.
