SETUP FOR VIRTUAL COMPETITION:

• Make sure you are wearing competitive attire as stipulated in the guidelines, and you have reviewed your routine and posture guidelines

• • Because this is a live virtual event, you may not call out alternative postures. Please review your registered poses, found on the confirmation email for registration.

  • There will be no appeal of scores

• Please have a plain background, or as minimal visual distractions as possible

• Join or rename yourself as your athlete registered name, so we can easily identify and promote you to the competition view

• Remain muted, unless asked to speak

• We will approve your camera angle during the check-in time for your division (see below); Not appearing in time for your section may result in disqualification.

• • Yoga mat should be parallel to the camera

  • Ensure enough space and distance, so that you are fully viewable from a straight-on angle - about waist-height - and room enough for all limbs visible the entire routine 

  • If you do not have the right camera angle, and the judges cannot see all your limbs in frame for a posture, you may be scored a zero
