other cadets. Any routines that look unsafe will be stopped immediately and the
competing team will receive no points for that event.
k. Sportsmanship: The highest level of sportsmanship is required of everyone at the
competition. The senior instructor of the competing team is responsible for the behavior
of the junior instructors, participating cadets, spectator cadets, chaperones, and spectator
adults from the unit. Unsportsmanlike behavior by anyone from a unit is grounds for
disqualification of the unit from the entire meet. Any unit disqualified forfeits all
trophies and medals. The senior instructor is responsible for briefing all attendees on the
required standards of behavior.
