Three streams of competition are being offered to support athletes who have never competed in the sport, through to the elite level. These three streams are named: 1. COMPETITION INFORMATION There is NO restriction on any athlete competing in a combination of Elementary, National & International categories i.e.: An athlete may compete in an Elementary team with their school, a national trio and an International single. However, you may not compete in the same category twice i.e.: elementary singles & National singles (this would lead to an automatic disqualification from both categories) Coaches & Athletes are to use their own discretion regarding the categories most appropriate to the athletes / teams ability (coaches are strongly urged to make sure that in making these decisions that they consider the values of FISAF Australia). Athletes / teams may remain in the National stream indefinitely if they wish. ( The judging panel may suggest an athlete/team consider moving to International Stream if they deem them capable) If an athlete / team competes in the National stream, the set obligatories and skills listed in Appendix 1 strictly apply. Automatic disqualification will apply if any nonobligatories or skills not listed are performed within a routine. Rules and Regulations 2014 ©FISAF United Sport Aerobics, Fitness and Hip Hop Australia 19th December 2014 Page 6 FISAF UNITED SPORT AEROBICS, FITNESS AND HIP HOP AUSTRALIA RULES AND REGULATIONS 2014 Placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a category in Elementary or National stream, does not mean an athlete / team must move into the National or International Stream the following year. Categories/streams entered by athletes and teams in 2013 do not have any bearing on their choices for 2014. The National Stream will offer all the competition categories available in the International Stream There is no capping on the number of skills allowed in a national stream routine. Recommendation is maximum 20. FRF's sent in are reflective of the coaches and athletes choices for their routine. Coaches / athletes are responsible for checking the FRF with competition rules & regulations before entering. FISAF Australia is not responsible for incorrect choreography or FRF's which may result in deductions or disqualifications. ELEMENTARY STREAM: The Elementary Stream supports students who are currently attending an Australian School from Grade 1 to Year 12 and for those athletes participating as part of a Sport Aerobic club, who wish to participate in the pre choreographed Sport Aerobics category. The pre-choreographed routine can be used by individual athletes, pairs (mixed or same sex) and trios in both Sport Aerobic clubs and/or Schools. Schools Only: The pre-choreographed routine can be used by teams of 4-8 athletes for Schools only. Sport Aerobic clubs cannot compete in the teams section of this stream. There are four age group categories as follows: Grade 1, 2, 3 (Grade 2,3,4 for QLD only) Grade 4, 5, 6 (Grade 5,6,7 for QLD only) Years 7, 8, 9 (Years 8 & 9 for QLD only) Years 10, 11 12 You must stay in your year group or grade as detailed above. All competitors in a team must be from the same school Single sex schools may have team members from the ‘brother’ or ‘sister’ school Teams may be any combination of male and female Rules and Regulations 2014 ©FISAF United Sport Aerobics, Fitness and Hip Hop Australia 19th December 2014 Page 7 FISAF UNITED SPORT AEROBICS, FITNESS AND HIP HOP AUSTRALIA RULES AND REGULATIONS 2014 An implementation pack will be provided at a cost of $66 inc GST which will include a prechoreographed routine DVD with the option of selecting from one of the three songs (2 songs for Grade 1,2,3) basic skills training exercises/tips, choreography notes and lesson plans. One team per school is entitled to free competition entry to a State Championship event. Each athlete competing as part of the school program will pay a FISAF membership fee for 2014.

The National Stream sections are available for competition at State and National level only. They are designed to encourage newer athletes to train, perform and develop through feedback and experience. An athlete/s may enter the National stream in any section if they do not wish to compete at the International level of the sport. We do encourage our more experienced and skilled athletes to reach their potential and to do this we ask that all coaches assist us by ensuring that athletes enter the section most suitable for their current performance level.

For example, it is possible for an athlete to compete in the Junior Fitness Team section as well as the Cadet Sport Aerobics Team section. It is NOT possible for an athlete to compete in the same section across more than one age category. For example an athlete cannot compete in the Junior Fitness Team section and the Cadet Fitness Team section. Skills and Obligatory Moves in the National Stream As FISAF Australia is keen to support coaches and officials within the sport who wish to see development of the athletes, the use of obligatory moves (skills) in the National Stream remains HOWEVER these moves have been modified from the set obligatory options shown for each age group in the International Rules. This will allow National stream athletes to Rules and Regulations 2014 ©FISAF United Sport Aerobics, Fitness and Hip Hop Australia 19th December 2014 Page 11 FISAF UNITED SPORT AEROBICS, FITNESS AND HIP HOP AUSTRALIA RULES AND REGULATIONS 2014 gradually develop and move towards a higher level of skill, encouraging progression, which is the essence of sport at a competitive level. All athletes must nominate one obligatory move within each section, which has an allocated score. All athletes must execute the move to the judge’s standards to score the move. Skills to be included in the routine must be from the list detailed in Appendix 1, with a recommendation of there being no more than 20 skills in total. The judging sheets will provide feedback on what was counted and what wasn’t as well as why and how it can be corrected. Athletes who execute moves outside of the obligatory moves and optional skills lists will be disqualified from the competition. Please see Appendix 1 for the optional skills list and obligatory moves for the National Stream for all age categories. Please note a review of this listing has occurred due to feedback received, so please ensure you do a thorough review of this listing in preparation for 2014.

The competitor may briefly greet or acknowledge the audience and judges prior to assuming their starting position and thank or acknowledge the audience and judges before promptly exiting. 2.8 False Start/Interruption A false start is defined as: 1. A technical problem preventing commencement of a performance after the athlete/s have entered the stage 2. A technical problem preventing continuation of a performance once it has started. A false start/interruption is when the circumstances causing it are not within the competitor’s control.

The decision as to whether the false start/interruption will be acceptable will be at the sole discretion of the Head Judge. If it is deemed to be a false start/interruption, then the competitor will have the option of performing immediately or at the end of the category. In the event the false start occurs near the end of the category, or the last competitor in that category, then the error is to be corrected at that time and the competitor then goes on stage. A routine that is not started or is interrupted, without completion, due to the fault of the athlete, is not considered a false start/interruption. This would include but is not limited to, forgetting a routine, falling down from a pair or team starting position. If not a false start/interruption, the competitor will be disqualified. 2.9 Medical Attention Competitors enter and perform at their own risk.

If at any time prior to or during competition an athlete is ill, injured or his/her physical condition is at risk by competing, he/she may be declared ineligible to compete or disqualified from competing further. The competition organiser reserves the right to withdraw any competitor who appears to have such serious injury or medical condition.

SCORING AND RANKING The goal of the ranking system is to determine the winner by the majority of placing’s given by the judging panel, rather than an addition of scores. For example using a 7 judge panel: Competitor A: 4 judges have 1st place / 3 judges have 2nd place Competitor B: 3 judges have 1st place / 4 judges have 2nd place Competitor A is the winner. The tabulation system will find the competitor/team with the most first places then the most second and third etc, to determine the final ranking. Application of Scores and Ranks Each scoring judge will consider their specific criteria to determine a score out of 10 points representing a competitor’s/team’s performance. From this score, a rank for each judge is derived. The total ranks applied by all judges for each competitor/team, will determine the placing of the teams for the competition. The competitor/team with the best ranking will be determined the winner. 5.1 Technical Criteria Execution is the main focus. – This is how well you perform every move you have in your routine. Moves should be safe and precise showing good form, ease of movement, good posture and control. The compulsory exercises will provide the baseline for scoring. Strength – Your compulsory push ups will give a baseline score which you can increase performing extra push-ups and or static strength moves. Power which is strength and speed together, can be shown in transitions and aerial moves. Strength can be displayed in the upper and lower body as well as the right and left sides. Flexibility – Your compulsory high leg kicks will give a baseline score which you can increase by doing other flexibility moves. Try to show a balance of flexibility in a large range of joints, such as the hip. Please note that teams should be synchronised and will be assessed as a single unit, therefore each member should exhibit similar strength, flexibility and ability. Rules and Regulations 2014 ©FISAF United Sport Aerobics, Fitness and Hip Hop Australia 19th December 2014 Page 20 FISAF UNITED SPORT AEROBICS, FITNESS AND HIP HOP AUSTRALIA RULES AND REGULATIONS 2014 5.2 Artistic Criteria Choreography – This is about creativity, originality and innovative selection of aerobic movements patterns with unpredictable sequencing. Arm lines are important and need as much attention as foot patterns. Individual style and the use of the whole stage will enhance a score. Teams should utilise each other to create many formations while staying close together to allow movement as one unit. If you constantly go out of the 7 x 7m area, you may be penalised for safety reasons. Music Interpretation – Your routine should fit your piece of music and yours only. Use the natural structure and phrasing of the music which incorporates highs and lows, rhythms, vocals, instruments, pre choruses, choruses and counter tempos. In the case of teams, it is important to stay in time with the music as well as each other. Music should be motivating and energetic so we suggest the music speed to be no slower than 148 beat per minute. If your music is outside the required length stated, your score may be reduced. Presentation – This is about generating excitement, projecting confidence and communicating positive emotions by using physical gestures and facial expressions throughout the entire performance. Teams should acknowledge that they have team members and display interaction with each other. Presentation is also determined by the competitor’s appearance and attire which should be clean and tidy. A score will be reduced where attire does not meet the following criteria: Costumes may be one piece leotards, or a two piece bikini style. Bootleg pants and bikini tops or singlets are also acceptable. You may not discard any item of clothing or accessory during the performance Bike pants or tights must be worn under all leotards or two piece costumes (boy’s exempt) The outfit should reflect the sporting nature of competitive aerobics rather than being too theatrical (eg: skirts, too many sequins, dresses, feathers, tassels etc) G-string leotards are not permitted Wristbands and unobtrusive strapping is permitted For maximum points, outfits should be styled so the judges can see ‘form’ Short and T-Shirts may be worn provided they are not too baggy A good supporting aerobic shoe must be worn (white is recommended) Props are not allowed such as gloves, musical instruments, scarves etc You must wear adequate body support Jewellery is not allowed Long hair should be off the face and tied back with no hair accessories or hats. Headbands and excessive sequins/diamantes in the hair are not acceptable. Rules and Regulations 2014 ©FISAF United Sport Aerobics, Fitness and Hip Hop Australia 19th December 2014 Page 21 FISAF UNITED SPORT AEROBICS, FITNESS AND HIP HOP AUSTRALIA RULES AND REGULATIONS 2014 Subtle glitter on the face and hair is allowed. No body oil or paint is permitted No bulky wrist supports (such as foam blocks) are permitted Costumes must not be too brief and must be appropriately concealing. 5.3 Aerobic Criteria Appropriate – Ultimately the performance must reflect the ‘aerobic’ basis of sport aerobics. The majority of the choreography should be high impact, aerobic content. Intensity – Judges will consider the athletes ability to maintain a high level of intensity by using a large range of sport aerobic movements, together with full coverage of the stage area, floor, standing and aerial space. A cardiovascular effect should be shown throughout the entire routine. Complexity – Choreography should show complex patterns in the upper and lower body at the same time. The more muscles you use at one time, will also add to the intensity of a routine. You should show good quality and speed of leg and arm movements together with the ability to transition smoothly and quickly. Note an overall high standard of performance will enhance an aerobic score.

HIP HOP REGULATIONS 7.1 Introduction Hip Hop culture originated in New York amongst young Hispanic and African American communities during the late 1960’s. Synonymous with rap, scratch music and graffiti art, the style encompasses the movements of break-dancing and body-popping, and has been internationally recognised since the 1970’s. The 1980’s saw the emergence of a new style of hip hop into rap videos, distinguishing from original break dancing styles by it concentration on footwork as opposed to acrobatics. Hereafter, the emergence of house music saw hip hop re-invent itself again with a broader range of influences and freer expression. Today funk and hip hop have many individualised styles. The blending of music styles and dance moves influenced by many factors which are then personalised by a choreographer, makes it possible to define Funk and Hip Hop styles unambiguously. Rules and Regulations 2014 ©FISAF United Sport Aerobics, Fitness and Hip Hop Australia 19th December 2014 Page 26 FISAF UNITED SPORT AEROBICS, FITNESS AND HIP HOP AUSTRALIA RULES AND REGULATIONS 2014 7.2 Scoring and Judging The judging panel will have members who have either an extensive dance background or are currently involved in Hip Hop (teaching, presenting, judging, choreography etc). There are two panel configurations which can be used including 1. A five judge panel ( 4 x hip hop judges and 1 x Head Judge) OR 2. A three judge panel ( 2 x hip hop judges and 1 x Head Judge) Head Judge The Head Judge will oversee the judging panel and is the highest technical authority at a FISAF Australia competition. The Head Judge does not submit a score but is responsible for ensuring consistent and fair application of the Technical Regulations by the judging panel and overseeing the correct implementation of the judging system and the tabulation of results. Hip Hop Judge The Hip Hop Judge will apply a score for each team, after considering the hip hop criteria in comparison to all other routines. The ranking of a routine will be derived from a score out of 10. In the case of a tie, the lead hip hop judges’ ranking will determine the outcome. Ranking The goal of the ranking system is to determine the winner by the majority of placing’s given by the judging panel, rather than an addition of scores. For example, using a 5 judge panel: Team A: 3 judges have 1st/ 1 judges has 2nd Team B: 2 judges have 1st/ 2 judges have 2nd Team A is the winner The tabulation system will find the competitor with the most first places then the most second and third etc, to determine the final ranking. Each scoring judge will consider the criteria to determine a score out of ten points representing a team’s performance. From this score, a team’s ranking for each judge is derived. The team with the best ranking will be determined the winner.
