Performance Details
The competition will be one round. Every team will have their chance to perform and after all of the performances have concluded we will announce a winner. This is not the average stroll competition. You can be as creative as you want, as long as the basis of the performance imitates the Kappa ways. You do not have to constantly move in a linear motion. As long as you enter the stage in a line and leave in a line anything in between is up to the performers. You can use props, as long as they are not canes, staffs, or anything resembling. We will be issuing a Kappa out to every team to make sure that all teams are staying within the guidelines, help teach them the basic dances, and to help develop a performance. There is a 2 minute minimum and 6 minute maximum time for performances; it is all based off of the team. There will be one team performing at a time, the rest of the teams will be seated out in the audience. Each team will be scored immediately after they performed by our panel of judges. The scores will be kept a secret until the end of the competition. Judging criteria is listed in a later section.
