Floor Manager

It will be your job to assist the CCJ with managing the schedule and the competition floor.

March In

1)Organize the march in signs according to the list of clubs for each flight. You will find this posted on the wall in the dance lobby.

2)At 10 minutes before scheduled march in begin marshalling the athletes behind their signs. If appropriate (meet is not going on) ask the announcer to ask the athletes to gather in the lobby for march in.

3)When ready to march in, signal the announcer to turn on the march in music. Direct the athletes out door of the lobby, up the vault runway, turn left and back track in a square to end up facing the audience. This way they will march past the audience giving all children the opportunity to be seen by their parents.

4)After the announcer introduces the teams and makes any announcements/ O’Canadaetc warm up will begin. Look at the clock above the balance beams and time 15 minute warm up. Then go to the judges room and tell the CCJ that the timed warm up has begun.

5)It’s important that we start each flight with the advice of the CCJ to ensure that the judges have had a chance to eat and have their meeting. So occasionally the march in gets delayed to ensure that there is 30 minutes between flights.

During Flight

1)Generally keep the area tidy and organized. Look for spills, garbage, water bottles etc. Check the chalk buckets for water and chalk. More chalk is available in the staff office.

2)Assist the CCJ with rotating the athletes. They move Vault to Bars, Bars to Beam, Beam to Floor and Floor to Vault. So both Vault and Bars would need to be finished in order for Vault to rotate to bars and so on.

3)Additional chits for the judges are on the CCJ table if needed.

4)Assist with communicating with the CCJ, the Meet Director, Lorraine etc.

5)Provide assistance to the judges/ coaches if needed. We are their hosts and would like to do whatever is necessary to make them feel welcome.

6)Problem solve if necessary.

After the Meet

1)Take a copy of the results to the awards room.
