He AERIAL POLE SPORTS TOURNAMENT It is part of the Azul Fest technical program, which focuses on highlighting the precision, strength, and body control of participants. These rules are designed to assess the skills required to execute figures, combinations, and sequences on a vertical tube, whether fixed or rotating, with the highest technical demands.

In this tournament, artists have the opportunity to demonstrate their skill and physical preparation through movements that prioritize proper use of the core, stability, fluid transitions, and clean execution of figures.

Our goal is to provide a competitive environment where each participant can focus on technical, expressive, and physical development, always respecting the limits appropriate for each level. Complexity and risk will be present, but always supported by technique, control, and safety as fundamental pillars.

This regulation is adapted to the characteristics of the Aerial Pole, differentiating it from traditional Pole Sport and allowing a fair evaluation that takes into account style, difficulty and correct execution.

A single participant can register for as many choreographies as they wish, provided they are of a different type of tournament, style, or element.

For example, María signed up for the Aerial Pole solo competition in the Sports Tournament and the Artistic Tournament.

The times of routine iswill be determined by the type of tournament the participant signs up for and their level (The level is explained later in the regulations, according to the mandatory and prohibited exercises). The Routine includes both Floor Work and Element Work.

There are no minimum choreography times.

The following are the Maximum Routine times:

VERY IMPORTANT:

Failure to comply with the regulatory time may lead to disqualification.

Please cooperate, keep your time well.

In all cases the timing of the routine will begin with the 1st choreographic movement or musical note and will end in the same way.

He Aerial Pole Sports Tournament Its main objective is to evaluate technical execution, physical precision, and mastery of the apparatus through a clear and demanding competitive structure. This category focuses on the correct execution of mandatory elements and technical progression based on the declared level.

Fundamental pillars of the Aerial Pole Sports Tournament:

Technique and Execution: Priority is given to proper body alignment, precise use of hand and foot grips, and overall clean execution. Control in the entry, development, and exit of each movement will be essential for scoring.

Progressive Difficulty: Each level (Amateur and Professional) It establishes a technical standard appropriate to the participant's level of experience. The goal is for difficulty to match the athlete's progress, without compromising technique or safety.

Resistance and Transitions: The competitor's ability to sustain figures without losing control will be evaluated, as well as the fluidity and rhythm of transitions between elements. Sequences are expected to be continuous, without unnecessary pauses.

Compliance with Safety Standards: Routines must comply with the specific safety regulations for Aerial Pole, avoiding actions that endanger the physical integrity of the participant. The descent must be performed safely and in a controlled manner.

Objectivity in Evaluation: The jury will award scores based on objective criteria, prioritizing correct execution, the actual difficulty of the technical content, and the athlete's stability on the bar or during hanging figures.

This tournament allows competitors to demonstrate their physical and technical skill on the aerial pole, challenging their own limits with discipline and precision, within a fair and standardized competition framework.

The choreography must be entered into the Sports Tournament, according to the corresponding level, and include the mandatory movements defined for each category. The omission or incorrect execution of these elements will be penalized during the evaluation:

The execution of the required movements is the core evaluation of the Aerial Pole Sports Tournament. Although the artistic content is not the main focus, maintaining a harmonious, fluid, and musically connected presentation is recommended.

Each level features a specific list of required exercises, designed to ensure technical progression, facilitate objective evaluation, and ensure that each routine meets the minimum required standards.

Details on the evaluation, scores, deductions, and choreographic structure are available in the “Sports Tournament Evaluation” section.

In it Sports Tournament, In addition to highlighting your technical skills through the required figures, it's essential that you don't lose sight of the artistic development of your choreography. The fusion of technical and artistic aspects is what transforms a routine into a visually and emotionally impactful experience.

Artistic development includes elements such as connection with the audience, fluidity of movement, musical interpretation, and the ability to convey emotion through your performance. These aspects not only elevate the visual quality of your routine but also allow you to stand out from other performances by adding a unique and memorable touch.

Although the required exercises and technique predominate in the evaluation, the jury also evaluates creativity, the cohesion of the narrative in your choreography, and the connection you manage to establish with the aerial element. Therefore, remember that the balance between the technical and the artistic will be key to standing out.
