equally for the trophies in their event, armed or unarmed. Schools may enter two color guard teams and
two physical fitness teams, and the highest scoring team in each will count toward the overall
competition. Physical fitness teams may be male, female, or co-ed. Co-ed teams will compete in the
male category. Trophies will be awarded in both the male and female competition, but only the highest
scoring team, regardless of category, will count toward the overall meet champion.
4. Three trophies will be awarded in each event. Individual awards will be presented in knockout drill.
The overall meet trophies (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) will be awarded to the units with the highest number of
combined points in inspection (armed and unarmed), regulation drill (armed and unarmed), exhibition
drill (armed and unarmed), color guard (highest of team #1 or #2), and physical fitness (highest of team
#1 or #2). Any team wishing to compete in a drill event must also enter inspection and those
competing in exhibition drill must have competed in regulation drill. Team composition shall not
be changed from one inspection/drill event to the next and no cadet may compete on two drill
teams, or two color guards, or two PT teams. Equipment or personnel changes between drill
teams; or personnel changes between color guard or PT team events will be penalized as described
in Enclosure (1).
5. The tie-breaker for drill team marching events will be the commander's score; for inspection, the
overall impression; for color guard inspection, the National color bearer's score; and for physical fitness,
the total team score on pull-ups.
6. A judges meeting will be held at 0730 in the Ponchatoula MCJROTC building on meet day to

c. A closing ceremony will be held as soon as possible after the competition is completed.
All teams should remain in uniform until after the awards ceremony.
2. Uniforms. Team uniforms will be in accordance with appropriate service uniform regulations.
Utility type uniforms are not permissible for competitors. No uniform or equipment changes will be
allowed between phases, i.e., addition of gloves, tape, flags or guidons.
3. Staging Area. The staging area for the marching events is the track around the football field. Once a
team departs the staging area and moves to the competition area (either Color Guard or Drill),
instructors and coaches may not assist a team in any manner.
4. Photographers/videographers. All must remain on the track.
5. Inspection. After the team has been prepared for inspection, the Chief Inspector/Inspectors will
select nine individuals to be inspected and dismiss the remaining team members from the inspection
formation. Excused team members will move to the staging area for Regulation Drill and rejoin their
team immediately upon completion of the inspection.
Note: Spaces left vacant by dismissed members will not be filled in during the inspection.
6. Event Sequence. Color Guard - Staging area, Inspection, Drill. Drill Team - Staging area,
Inspection, Regulation Drill, Exhibition Drill. PT - Crunches, Pullups/Flex, Shuttle run.

7. Team Drill
a. See Enclosure (5) for event boundaries.
b. The optimum time is six and one-half minutes with no penalty points between five and
eight minutes for Exhibition Drill. The time starts when the drill team commander
reports in to the chief judge and stops when he requests permission to leave.
c. A whistle will be blown at the five and eight minute marks into the Exhibition Drill.
8. Penalty Points
a. Boundary violations – 3 points. Commanders should use their three allowable extra
commands (regulation drill only) to immediately move their unit back within the drill area.
b. Timing violations – 5 points per minute or fraction thereof (over or under time).
c. Omitting commands (regulation – armed/unarmed) – 2 points for each command.
d. Changing of uniforms, equipment, or personnel – 15 points per each infraction.
e. Unit size. A drill team may not compete in any phase with fewer than nine members in
the marching block, plus a commander. No score will be given.
e. Instructor or other assistance – 20 points for each infraction. Instructors and coaches must
remain on the track.
f. Failure to report to the appropriate performance location at the designated time – 15 points each
minute or fraction thereof. Scheduling conflicts with a respective school’s teams must be
addressed one week prior to the meet. No exceptions.
9. Disqualification: A team will be disqualified should their instructor make any attempt to stop the
score sheet runner to review a score sheet.
10. Exhibition Drill: Although there are no hard and fast rules on the content of Exhibition drill, it
should be derived from standard military drill. Performances that are clearly more dance routine than
drill will be subject to reduced scores in overall impression. Safety is a paramount consideration in
armed exhibition drill. For armed exhibition drill, cadets tossing rifles must have direct eye contact
between themselves and the cadet receiving the rifle. Failure to do so will be cause to stop the routine
and disqualify the team from that phase of competition. Instructors are responsible for ensuring the drill
routines do not contain unsafe practices.
11. Tug of War:




Single-elimination bracket.
Once the number of teams competing is determined, team names will be drawn to determine
bracket position. As the host school, Ponchatoula will not place itself in the bye bracket.
Boots, cleats, or spikes of any kind are NOT authorized.
Ten person team. Absolutely NO substitutions allowed once a team has pulled.

To March in the Oblique:
1. The purpose of this movement is to shift the line of march to the right or left for a short
distance and then resume marching in the original direction. It may be executed from any
formation that is marching at quick time cadence. The command is “Right (Left) Oblique,
MARCH.” The word oblique is pronounced to rhyme with strike. The command of execution is
given as the foot in the direction of the turn strikes the deck. The command to resume the
original direction of march is “Forward, March.” The command of execution is given as the
foot toward the original front strikes the deck.
2. To teach the platoon to march to the oblique, the instructor aligns the unit and has members
face half right (left). The instructor then explains that these positions are maintained when
marching to the oblique. This is achieved by individuals keeping their shoulders parallel to the
persons in front and/or adjacent to them. The individual at the corner of the platoon towards the
direction of the oblique is the base of the movement, and must maintain a steady line of march
keeping his/her other shoulders blocked perpendicular to the direction of march.
3. To march the platoon in the right oblique, the command is “Right Oblique, MARCH.” On
the command “MARCH,” everyone then takes one more 30-inch step to the front with the left
foot and pivots 45 degrees to the right on the bal of the left foot. Stepping out of the pivot with a
30-inch step, the entire platoon marches to the right oblique until given another command. For
the platoon to resume marching in the original direction, the command is “Forward, MARCH,”
in this case the command of execution will be given as the left foot strikes the deck. Everyone
then takes one more step in the oblique direction with the right foot; pivots back to the original
front and continue to march. To march to the left oblique, substitute left for right and right for
left in the above sequence.
4. To halt the platoon facing in the original direction of march the command is “Platoon,
HALT.” The command of execution “HALT” is given on the left foot when marching to the
right oblique, and on the right foot when marching to the left oblique. At the command
“HALT,” everyone takes one more step in the oblique direction, pivots to the original front on
the toe of the right (left) foot, and places the left (right) foot beside the other at the position of
attention.
5. To temporarily halt the platoon in the oblique direction, in order to correct errors, the
command is “In Place, HALT.” The command of execution “HALT” may be given as either
foot strikes the deck. At the command of execution “HALT,” the platoon halts in two counts as
in quick time and remains facing in the oblique direction. The only command that can be given
after halting in place is “Resume, MARCH.” At that command the movement continues
marching in the oblique direction.
6. When given half step or mark time while marching in the oblique, the only commands that
may be given are, “Resume, MARCH,” to continue marching with a 30-inch step in the oblique;
or “In Place, HALT,” to halt in the oblique in order to correct errors.

applicable to this type of drill.
