VII. IDR KNOCKOUT
(a)
Unarmed Knockout will be IAW AFMAN 36-2203, Armed Knockout will be IAW
ATC 3-21.5. CADETS WILL BE KNOCKED OUT IF THEY SPEAK THE WORDS “AS
YOU WERE” as this practice does NOT conform to any published military drill standards.
Only the commander can revoke a preparatory command by saying “As you were”. If an
improper command is not revoked, the personnel execute the movement in the best manner
possible, or if execution is impossible, stand fast.
(b)
There will be two separate unarmed knockouts: A first year knockout, and an open knockout.
There will be one Armed Open Knockout. Both first and advanced members may enter the two
open knockouts. Only Rifles that are authorized above may be used in this event (See Sec. II.
For details). Rifles used must have the mechanical capability for the carrier to actually perform
Inspection Arms, or the carrier must mimic the hand motions of inspection arms. Again, this
year don’t bang the Rifle after executing the movement. This will result in one warning and then
you will be knocked out if it happens again. We need to prevent damage to the main gym floor.
(c)
A unit may enter the knockout events with as many cadets as it sees fit. There will be a
charge of $1.00 per each knockout per cadet who wishes to enter knockouts.
(d)
Decisions made by the competition judges are final. Do not question the judge on why a
competitor was knocked out. Competitors will be given a legitimate reason for their
elimination. Trick commands will not be given. However, improper commands may be
given. Elimination of the last ten finalists will require the majority decision of all judges.
(e)
Judges have the authority to eliminate competitors for obvious Dress and Appearance
discrepancies. But, knockout will NOT be preceded by inspections of competitors.
(f)
Cadets who are first year may participate in all three knockouts: First Year, Open and
Armed. Cadets who are advanced members may only participate in Open and Armed
Knockouts
VIII. JUDGES AND SCORING

IX.
LOGISTICS:
(a)
Please inspect your rooms before your team enters and report any unusual conditions to the
command post.
(b)
Food will be provided from the start of the drill meet until the start of knock-out session.
Food /drinks must be consumed in the cafeteria, as they are not permitted in the rooms.
Revenues will be used for administrative costs, so please do not bring in food from outside
sources.
(c)
Room Usage and Security:
Please leave the room as you found it upon arrival to the room. Classroom items
and items belonging to the school, i.e. office supplies, TV/VCR, computer, and etc. are not
to be touched. An exception would be the chalk/dry erase markers and board to be used
for information purposes only but do not erase information left on the board by the teacher.
a.
Room security is necessary at all times. Room guards will be provided by the
host unit, and can be consulted for any needs, which they will pass on to the responsible
event managers. Room guards will watch for obvious, suspicious activities, but they
cannot possibly recognize each member of a team by sight and identify a member of
another team entering your room. Please make sure that a chaperone or authorized
individual is in your room at all times to the maximum extent possible to ensure room
security. To the maximum extent possible, secure valuable personal property out of sight
in closed or locked bags or containers. Extremely high value items such as cash, credit
cards, etc. should be given to a chaperone or authorized individual or carried on the cadet’s
person. Common sense protection of personal property must prevail.
b.
As your team leaves the building, please make sure that the room you have
occupied for the duration of the meet is cleaned to the highest standards, as if you were
never in the building. Leave all classroom items untouched, as they were when you first
entered the room. Any missing or destroyed items will be noted and that team may be
contacted and possibly fined for the cost of the items.
c.
No shoe polish is to be used anywhere in the building, if you must do so please
step outside the building.
d.
No body sprays, cologne, perfume, etc. are to be sprayed inside the building
please.
(d)
Cadet Behavior
a.
Military image must be maintained. If any act unbecoming of a cadet/drill team
member is reported and substantiated, the unit could be penalized 50 points from the final
score of their best event. This includes not maintaining an orderly atmosphere in the
hallways and in the cafeteria. Event totals will be re-evaluated for positions. If that
change causes the team to lose a trophy, the trophy will be recalled and re-awarded.
