**Round 4 (and if necessary, Round 5) will only be run for those events needing additional preliminary rounds of competition in accordance with NSDA Guidelines established in the District Tournament Operations Manual under the California Plan.  Remember that because Central MN and Southern MN NSDA share the judging pool, it is highly likely that Central MN NSDA judges will be needed during Round 4.

 

Check postings outside Tournament Headquarters for the times and locations of each round.  Events will be held at different times throughout the day so please check ALL postings for your assignment.  Judges should consistently check schedules for BOTH Central and Southern NSDA.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KNOW BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT BEGINS WHICH EVENTS ARE IN WHICH FLIGHTS.  Speaking order in a round cannot be changed due to confusion regarding start times.  Zach will email a list of patterns to coaches approximately the Sunday before the tournament.

 

ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THAT IN SEMIFINALS ON SATURDAY, ALL EVENTS RUN IN BOTH FLIGHTS.  ALL EVENTS WILL HAVE ONE SEMIFINAL ROUND DURING FLIGHT A, AND ONE SEMIFINAL ROUND DURING FLIGHT B.  DURING FINALS, ROUNDS WILL BE SPLIT BACK INTO THE ORIGINAL PATTERNS FROM FRIDAY.  What this means: ALL ADVANCING SEMIFINALISTS MUST BE AT EAGAN HIGH SCHOOL ON SATURDAY FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF COMPETING AT THE 9:30 AM ROUND.

 

It is recommended that all competing entries arrive at the beginning of the tournament on both Friday and Saturday.
