Junior Overall Championship

To enter the JOC, you must be 15 years old or younger on the day of the competition. You may sign up to compete using the competition sign up form associated with the event you plan on competing at. Refer to the individual event page for submission deadlines and requirements.

Competitors may attempt to accumulate points in the Ball, Ring, and Club Compulsory Competitions. You do not have to attempt all the moves. You only get points for the moves you attempt and successfully execute and you are only allowed ONE ATTEMPT per move. There are no deductions for drops, moving the feet, etc. Moves will be credited if the form is consistent with the judges expectation of a successful execution of the move. For example, if you attempt a 180, and walk halfway around while continuing to throw (and in the most extreme cases, making the last throw with your arm behind you after you've completed a 180 degree meandering) then you may not receive points for that move since the form was not demonstrative of proper technique. Proper technique is defined as the technique used which conserves the most energy while providing the most consistently successful and aesthetically pleasing results.
