The differences between USTA & NBTA:

BASIC: USTA & NBTA are the same;

Military: USTA is in an "L";

NBTA is in a square like basic;

MODELING: USTA is in a "Y";

NBTA is in a "Circle T"and has a 1 min. time limit.

NOVICE SOLO: time limit is 30 seconds to 2:00.

**You should have all of these on hand-outs I gave you**

This is the NBTA contest that is open to all twirlers.

You can enter any of the following:

Miss Columbine Modeling

Beginner Basic Strut (twice if you want to enter both Open and State*)

Military Square

• Open Events: are events that are open to any twirler—meaning anyone outside of the State can enter and compete in an open event.

This means that all members of out group can enter both open and state events.

So…..when you fill out the entry, you can mark both open and state basic strut if you would like to do them twice. ( I like doing this, because it gives you a chance to redeem yourself if you mess up the first time….)

This is a separate event (besides the state and open events) where you win an overall title. All contestants that enter this do the following:

1. Circle T modeling;
2. Basic Strut in a square;
3. Solo (minimum of 30 seconds)

(In addition to the state and open events you enter)

You do not receive your scores from any pageant event until the end of the day when all of the big awards and titles are given out.

The modeling, basic and solo scores you receive are combined and the twirler with the highest overall score wins the title.

Pageant winners are crowned at the end of the day along with the Miss Majorette of Colorado winners.
