Non-Member Event Registration for the 2016 Season is now available!

Some FFCC Events allow registration and participation of Ensembles that have chosen not to become FFCC Members. These Events are available on a space-available basis, with Non-Member participants performing prior to FFCC Members. Classification guidance is available from Tom Slaughter the FFCC Chief Judge.

The FFCC has released a new form for Non-Member Team Registration. This form can be found on our home page under the ‘Resources’ tab or here:

Payment may be made via the form or sent by check later. Registration is not confirmed until payment in-full has been received and posted by the FFCC Treasurer.

If you have any questions about registering a Non-Member Team for a 2016 event, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

AAA Class Rule Change for 2016

During the May meeting, members voted to make changes to the AAA Class Performance Criteria. The FFCC Board met in September to discuss the possible implementation of these changes. As a result, the following criteria has been changed for the AAA Class:

AAA Class will be judged on the Regional A Sheet, but will use A Class timing requirements.
- Minimum Performance Time is 4 minutes
- Maximum Performance Time is 5.5 minute
- Minimum Equipment Time is 3.5 minutes

This will create a fairness for AAA members who are promoted to AA Class during the season, or that qualify for the “Moving Up” program at Championships.

**Any group that is promoted to the AAA Class from B Class may need to add time to their program to avoid penalty.**
