There is no hassle of renting vans or cars and finding drivers. Hotel registration is smoother and rooms are guaranteed.

What hotel are we staying at? Accommodations will be provided at Disney’s All Star Resorts and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. Your team may choose which resort they would like to be housed in. Disney’s All Star Resort is a very nice yet economical hotel. Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is a more upscale hotel on the Walt Disney World®Resort. Therefore the main difference in package prices is the hotel cost only. All other services will remain the same for both hotels. In the event that the Walt Disney World®Resorts sell out of rooms, NDTC will make arrangements with an alternate hotel off property. PLEASE NOTE: Hotels may fill up prior to posted deadlines. Of course! A lot of coaches meet with the parents and include them on the travel package with their team. However, we encourage family members and friends to register with us directly. For the Friends and Family registration form, see pages 23-26. No. The travel package prices have been calculated according to how many people are in each room. No. The All Star Resorts and Caribbean Beach Resort do not allow more than four people to a room. Most hotels do not guarantee check in until 4:00 p.m. However, if there are rooms ready in your block, the hotel will check you in early. Please be sure to communicate this to your entire group that is traveling with you. Hotel check out is at 11:00 a.m. If you would like, you can take a Walt Disney World®Resort shuttle bus to Downtown Disney®West Side to shop. The hotel will be glad to store your luggage for you, but you will be responsible for picking them up before you depart. 3. We have parents who would like to come to the Championship.

When will we receive our Walt Disney World® tickets for the Championship? You receive your tickets when you register with NDTC at your hotel in Orlando. 2. Do we use our WDW PARK HOPPER ticket for competition? (CONT.) Yes. You will need a Walt Disney World® ticket to enter Disney’s Hollywood Studios™ as well as the Wide World of Sports Milkhouse and Jostens Center for competition. Admission to Disney’s Wide World of Sports®Complex is NOT considered a theme park admission, and therefore does not use a day on your PARK HOPPER®. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 3. What does “PARK HOPPER®” mean? Please tear out along the perforations. You may make copies of this form. A PARK HOPPER® allows you to go from Theme Park to Theme Park. Example: you can use your PARK HOPPER® ticket to enter Disney’s Hollywood Studios for Competition Saturday morning and then go to Epcot that evening, and it is only considered one day of admission. However, these tickets are only valid for four days. 4. Will attending the UDA parties take days off of my PARK HOPPER pass? For the Special “UDA NIGHT” at Magic Kingdom® Park, a day of admission will be taken off your PARK HOPPER® pass regardless of what time you arrive. For the Championship Celebration Party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios™, a day will not be taken off of your PARK HOPPER pass. Please Note: YOU MUST HAVE A WRISTBAND TO ATTEND ALL PARTIES. 5. If we do not use all four days of our Walt Disney World® tickets, may we use them next year? No. All of the discounted tickets sold at the NDTC have an expiration date that is listed on the back of your ticket. (February 1, 2010 through February 20, 2010) 6. Do spectators have to purchase a Walt Disney World® PARK HOPPER® ticket in order to watch competition at The Milkhouse at Disney’s Wide World of Sports®Complex and/or Jostens Center? No! If you are only going to the The Milkhouse at Disney’s Wide World of Sports® and/or Jostens Center, you may purchase a ticket at the door for $25 per day per person. However, if you purchase a Walt Disney World® PARK HOPPER® ticket from the NDTC it includes admission into The Milkhouse. 7. Are there discounted park tickets available for friends and family not on the travel package? Yes, there are two different tickets. 1) 4-day PARK HOPPER® Ticket- $210.00 2) 3-day PARK HOPPER® Ticket- $180.00 Order Forms for these tickets can be found on page 12.

What is ASCAP/BMI/SESAC? Why does our music have to be licensed by one of these companies? ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC are music licensing companies. Music licensing laws require us to have this information on file when we play your music at competition and/or if your routine is shown on television. 2. What constitutes as 1 song for the 5 song rule? One song is considered to be one track on a CD/Album. For example, track #3 on a CD would be considered one song even if there are several songs on that one track. Most remix CD’s are structured this way. 3. Is it necessary to complete the original music and/or sound effects form if sound effects are used? If the sound effect is from a CD, this does not count as a song, and you do not have to fill out the original music/sound effect form. If spoken words from a song are used, it counts as one of your five songs. If spoken words or sound effects are CREATED by a DJ or person, this is considered original music and the original music/sound effects form should be completed.

JUDGING PROCEDURES The judges for the event will be appointed at the sole discretion of Universal Dance Association. As the teams make their presentations, the judges will score the teams using a 100 point system. The highest score and the lowest score given for each team will be dropped and the remaining judges scores will be totaled to determine the overall team score. In the event of a first place tie, the high and low score will be added back into the total score. If a tie remains, the ranking points from each judge will be used to break the tie. III. SCORES AND RANKINGS Individual score sheets are for the exclusive use of each particular judge. Each judge has the responsibility and authority to review and submit his or her final scores and rankings prior to the final tally of the scores for all teams. Scores and rankings will be available only to coaches or captains at the conclusion of Saturday and Sunday’s competition. No scores or rankings will be given over the telephone. After each round of competition, teams will receive the judges’ scoresheets as well as their score and the top score in the group. In addition, teams will receive a ranking sheet with the names and scores of the teams advancing. The remaining teams’ scores will be listed in rank order, however the schools names will be omitted. This will be done in order for teams to see the break in scores as well as how far they were from advancing. B. FAULT OF TEAM 1. In the event a team’s routine is interrupted because of failure of the team’s own equipment, the team must either continue the routine or withdraw from the competition. 2. The competition officials will determine if the team will be allowed to perform at a later time. If decided by officials, the team will perform the routine again in its entirety, but will be evaluated ONLY from the point where the interruption occurred. C. INJURY 1. In the event that an injury causes the team’s routine to be interrupted, the team must either continue the routine or withdraw from the competition. 2. Competition officials reserve the right to stop the routine if an injury occurs. 3. The competition officials will determine if the team will be allowed to perform at a later time. If decided by officials, the team will perform the routine again in its entirety, but will be evaluated ONLY from the point where the interruption occurred. SCORING AND GENERAL RULES VIII.
