CGDA hosts daily events including dance classes, tryouts, and practices. As a staff, it is asked you follow everything below when hosting.
Commands
Some information about commands is that. We use /e before writing the command. What this does is that it hides the bubble chat that comes when saying the command. It’s preferred but not required.
Introductions
Tryouts
/e :n Hello gymnasts! My name is [user] and I will be the instructor for today’s tryout.
/e :n Before we begin, I will start off with a quick rule refresher.
/e :n 1. Listen to all staff and be respectful to those around you.

Stretching
After the gymnasts have performed a running lap, we will do some short stretching. Stretching is performed in both practices and tryouts.
-
Toe touch (in the backpack)
-
Front split (repeat this twice)
-
Middle split
-
Needle pose (in the backpack)
-
Scorpion pose
Sorting
If a helper attended, you will sort the gymnasts out. If there is 1 gymnast, decide on who will be her coach. If there are 2 gymnasts each can take 1 and as such. You will name the gymnasts and coaches/helpers if any. Each coach/helper will have a letter. And the assigned gymnast will have that same letter called. For example:
Coach peppa: A
Gymnast marie: A
Helper stella: B
Gymnast gorge: B
Use the :name command for such.
Procedures
Tryouts
During tryouts, you must repeat these steps. Always start with Vault unless the event is taken.
Firstly ask if they want level requirements or a demonstration:
Reqs or demo?
If none, use the command listed below and then say “Proceed!” or “Go!” If yes, say the reqs or do a demo.

Watch the gymnast and judge using the deductions on the deductions channel.
After she/he is done, say a positive word including “Amazing!” “Awesome!” “Lovely!” etc.
Afterwards use command “:rv” to watch yourself again.
Repeat this with all the events, but remember that vault is 2 attempts.
