Also I would like say that I thought it was really unfortunate that all the small mixed groups left in the middle of awards
So the schedule for this one is posted. It's different than most competitions, so I'll try to explain real quick. There's 4 divisions total and 4 sets of finals for each respective division. There's Tier I and Tier II (i.e. Large and Small). In the prelims, Mixed Tier I, Women Tier I, and Women Tier II are all performing in the gymnasium. Mixed Tier II performs in the auditorium for prelims. For finals, Mixed Tier I and Women Tier I are in the gym while Mixed Tier II and Women Tier II are in the auditorium. In terms of number of finalists, Mixed Tier I and Women Tier I are both taking 4 finalists, Mixed Tier II is taking 6 finalists, and Women Tier II will have 4 finalists. With that being said, all Tier I groups are automatically slated for finals and Mooresville has actually already set the Tier I finals performance schedule which is also posted above.
And as always, this is of course subject to change - just posting what was sent to us today.
