Mandatory Routine Legality Video Review:
REQUIRED: In order to run a legality-free School National Championship, JAMZ is requiring all teams to video their entire routine and submit the routine for a Legality Certification. A Rules & Scoring Team will review the video in its entirety for legal violations. If your routine review analysis comes back with zero legality violations that guarantees the routine is violation-fee and will supersede all other rulings at Nationals. EXCEPTION: This does NOT include changes made to the routine after video submission, athlete stage error, time violations, inappropriate choreography, or music violations.
