Application deadline is April 1st, 2003. The following steps concern the registration process. If any of the following requirements are missing, the registration packet will be considered incomplete.

Judging:

• Each team is eligible to bring in its own judge upon receipt of a completed registration form and a completed judge's application form by the UCLA Bhangra Team no later than April 1. Omission of any of these two requirements will disqualify a team from bringing in its own judge.
• Any completed registration form or completed judge's application form received after April 1 will immediately disqualify a team competing in Bruin Bhangra 2003, no exceptions.
• If a completed judge's application form is received by April 1, Bruin Bhangra 2003 event coordinators will approve the team's judge based on merit and proof of expertise. If a judge is not approved, your team will not be allowed to resubmit a judge.

Performance:

• Maximum Time Limit -- 8 minutes. There will be heavy penalties on teams that exceed this time limit. For every 15 seconds gone over, 5 points will be deducted from the team's overall score. Time starts as soon as your music begins (including any instrumental or vocal introductions).
• Fire and smoke machines are strictly prohibited. NO glitter, magic dust, hay, or fog will be allowed. The stage must be in the same condition before and after a team's performance. Causing damage to the stage floor is prohibited. Teams will be liable for any fees related to structural or surface damage to the floor.
• Each team must submit 3 cued copies of their music (preferably 2 on CD). There should only be one track on the performance CD. Any extraneous tracks must be cut from the CD. The CD must be submitted by at least May 2nd. We recommend that each team bring an extra CD on the day of the competition in case of any complications. UCLA Bhangra Team retains the rights to the music and has the right to officially publish, record, copy, and reproduce any CD submitted for competition to Bruin Bhangra. The CD will be reproduced with credits for each track going to the team who submitted their CD for the competition.
