1. FLASH PYRAMID RULES

1. Only the exact number of athletes on the Flash Card may be used. The referee’s job is to count and ensure the correct number is used. If too many people are involved in the pyramid going up, the pyramid does not count and everyone must start over on the ground.
2. The pyramid must hit and hold for 2 counts to be considered a hit pyramid.
3. There will be no ties in any round. The referee’s decision determines who hit first.
4. There will be 2 additional velcro lines added to the floor from side to side for this game:
   A. One line is the holding line — no athlete may pass that line until the pyramid has been revealed.
   B. The second line is the building line — no building may be done before that line.

2. BULLSEYE TUMBLING

Three tumblers from each team are chosen and must perform a tumbling pass that is different from their teammates’ passes, selected from the approved list below.

If the pass is incomplete or performed with incorrect elements, the score is 0.

ONE FEMALE TUMBLER MUST BE USED BY EACH TEAM AND MUST GO 3RD IN THE ORDER.

All passes must:

• Begin with a forward step into the pass
• Begin on one of the three floor panels furthest from the target

Rules

1. On each athlete’s turn, they may not measure, throw partial passes, or check spacing.They will be introduced, wave to the crowd, and then have :30 seconds to go.Excessive crowd hyping or delaying results in a score of 0.
2. Each tumbler’s score is determined by the landing of the final skill and sticking the landing.The score is based on the furthest spot away from the bullseye that the tumbler touches during the landing.
3. After 3 rounds we have a team winner. After 3 rounds any tie will be broken by a head-to-head new pass 1v1 by any athlete. In OT every other pass must be a female until we have a winner. 
4. Acceptable passes (teams may submit additional passes for approval).All passes must include a minimum of 2 aerial flips and 2.5 twists.A roundoff counts as a half twist.

3. HIGHEST TUMBLER

Two tumblers from each team attempt to land a tumbling pass while flipping over a target height.

A pass is successful only if the athlete’s feet touch the crash mat before any other body part.

The team’s score is based on the highest successful pass of its two players.

Official Responsibilities

• Ensure the target is at the correct height
• Determine if feet hit the landing mat first
• Confirm that if the bar comes off the standards, it was the tumbler’s fault

The last tumbler may NOT aim for a tie. The target must be set at least 1 inch higher than the opposing team’s current score.

Each tumbler:

• May not measure or throw partial passes
• Has a :30 second shot clock from introduction
• Has 2 attempts per height

Alternating Order (Determined by Coin Toss)

1. Team A Tumbler #1
2. Team B Tumbler #1
3. Team B Tumbler #2
4. Team A Tumbler #2

Your team only loses its turn after successfully clearing a height.

(Example scenario formatting may be added separately if desired.)
