Regional Qualifier Rules
The Triple-A Fitness & Aerobic Regional Qualifier events are open to everyone and they are a perfect opportunity
for instructors and class members alike, to add a little more challenge to their fitness
regimens, routines and lifestyles. No advance practice is necessary. Costumes are not required
and music will be provided if you do not have your own selection. Contestants may compete in the
following categories and divisions:
*Junior Division is Ages 6-18. 17 and 18 year-olds may choose either the Junior or Adult
Division. Masters Division is Age 40 Plus - Men & Women Singles Only There are two ways to participate
in a District Qualifier:
Aerobic, Hip-Hop & Step, Adult and Junior competitors who do not have a prepared routine, must participate in
the watch and follow style rounds, which we call the Triple-A Fitness "Follow-the-Leader" Aerobic Fitness &
Dance Challenge. During these instructional rounds, all contestants will learn a one-minute Aerobic, Step
and/or Hip-Hop/Jazz-Funk routine, depending on
the category they've entered. More than one category is
acceptable. Competitors in each
category will learn the same routine at the same time. After learning the
routine, contestants
are encouraged to modify the routine according to their own movement and comfort level.
Participants are advised not to stray too far from the original choreography. These rounds can last some time
between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the format established by the promoters for
that particular event. After
these rounds have been completed, there will be a break. The
promoters of each event will determine the length
of this break. The break is provided so that
each participant will have ample time to review, modify and
practice the routines learned.
After the break period has ended, the final judging rounds will
begin. At that time, those
with prepared routines will join those who participated in the "Follow-the-Leader"
instructional
rounds. The judges will score all routines individually or in accordance with the division
entered (e.g. as a double, triple or group). All participants in the District Qualifiers will be judged in the
following three (3) areas only: Execution, Endurance and Excitement! There are no
strength or flexibility
movements required and no one-armed pushups or splits required. There
are no extra or special points awarded
for gymnastic style moves or tricks, although they are
allowed. There are no other specific rules, however
tumbling movements such as round-offs, back handsprings or cartwheels are prohibited. Please remember, this is
not a gymnastic event!
Gymnastic moves can be executed in the Triple-A Fitness Legacy events. Prizes will be
awarded to the three (3) highest scorers in each division.
The top five (5) participants in each division will advance to the International Grand Finals (IGF)
Championship. At that event, all finalists from the Regioanl Qualifiers must compete with their own prepared
routine(s). It is recommended that newer participants use the routine they qualified with as a "base" while
preparing for the finals. That base routine, combined with some additional modifications listed in the Official
Championship Rules and Guidelines Handbook, will help ensure your success, and you will save on expensive
choreography and coaching fees. The
Official Handbook contains the complete IGF event rules and judging
regulations. If you have qualified, or if you have been invited to participate in the International Grand
Finals, you are responsible for obtaining a copy of the International Grand Finals Rules & Guidelines from the
Triple-A Fitness & Aerobics headquarters far enough in advance to prepare for the event. The top winners will
receive prizes that may include International Grand Finals medals, trophies, and/or sponsor gifts. Success at
the IGF depends strictly upon following the rules and guidelines.
