Apparatus
You are welcome and encouraged to bring your own apparatus to meet any specific needs you might have. All apparatus will undergo an assessment by our head rigger prior to being used in the event.
We only rig single-point apparatus at our regional competitions. If you have an apparatus that requires 2 points (e.g., static trapeze), please bring a spreader bar and plan for a single-point rig response in your apparatus.
Note that if the equipment is deemed unsafe when inspected onsite, we have the right to refuse to rig it. In no case will the event organizers or host studio be liable for issues you encounter when using your own apparatus, even after a passing inspection.
