This letter of instruction (LOI) provides information and outlines responsibilities for the conduct of the MCJROTC Region-5 Championships. See enclosures for details on conduct of the competition. 2. Irving High School MCJROTC will host the 2016 annual MCJROTC Region-5 championships on Sat 30 Apr 2016 at the Irving Convention Center in order to foster esprit de Corps between Region-5 schools and showcase team skills practiced throughout the year. It is my intent that we establish a fair, safe, easily understood and transparent competition that sets a high standard for a rotational Region-5 championship. This championship will utilize a WiFi connected ipad automated scoring system to provide rapid results in order to reduce errors and waiting time. The end state is that we have established a strong camaraderie between the Region-5 MCJROTCs and have a standard template to rotate this competition. 3. The meet will consist of the events listed below. No cadet may compete on both an armed and unarmed team, or on more than one team in the same event. To be considered armed, a team must use the standard full-weight rifles issued by the JROTC unit's representative service. Teams are not authorized to use lightweight rifles, flags or other similar equipment. Teams must be designated armed or unarmed prior to commencing competition and must remain as designated throughout the competition. Team composition may not be changed once the team has commenced competition.

These cadets may come from other teams as long as they do not interfere with the time. This team does not count towards championship points. 8. Schools may enter teams in the sporter category only. Each school may enter as many teams as they like but must consist of 4 shooters (Male, Female, or mixed). Only the top scoring team will be entered into championship points. 9. Three trophies will be awarded in each major team event. 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 may not be changed from one inspection/drill event to the next, and no cadet may compete on both an armed and an unarmed team. There can be no equipment changes between events. 10. 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. 11.

Only the initial boundary violation counts off the score. If the unit continues performing the sequence while out of bounds, only the initial boundary violation is counted. However, if the unit returns in-bounds and then goes back out of bounds, that constitutes a new violation.

6 6 7. Drill Team Inspection. a. A minimum of 10 cadets is required. The marching unit must consist of the unit commander and a minimum of 9 in the marching block. The use of a Guide is optional. b. After the team has been formed for inspection, the Head Judge will inspect the unit commander.

If the unit continues the performance while out of bounds, only the initial boundary violation is counted. However, if the unit returns in-bounds and then goes back out of bounds, that constitutes a new violation. g. 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.
