Atlantic competition

I am doing Level 3 Entertainment. Get hyped for some ignorance on stage.
-
I will be there supporting a couple of friends of mine 🙂
-
Thediva- Ignorance? Huh?
-
PowerTwirl: I have been known to throw in some amazingly classless moves to further the stereotype of us being strippers in disguise, lol. Most of Youtube has seen both nipples. At once. On purpose. God help the audience in VA.
-
well miss diva, if it's anything like your performance from Ryssa's halloween pole showcase, we're ALL in for a wild time!!! hahahahaha!

Don’t know if you’re joking around but(t) don’t go showing any gluteal fold! They want to keep this one pretty clean I think
-
Good to know, Jade! I actually wan't going to go that crazy, but I still need to keep myself in check. The crack will be hidden, but its spirit will be present for all the see.

I’m competing in Dramatic L2. I’m really excited to be part of the event, it’s going to be huge! I need to get more clarification though on the POCs….ie does one POC = both legs or one? Like with the superman. If each leg is one poc than it would be 3 and not 2.
-
I was wondering about the three points of contact too. The way I read it was that it applies to all inversions. An inversion is when your hips are higher than their shoulders, which isn’t the case in a superman, so I think that would be safe. I’m wondering about a cross ankle or knee release. It’s technically an inversion by their definition, but it’s not an overly advanced move.
I think I’m going to email them for more clarification. I don’t want to get disqualified for not understanding their rules!

Last year cross knee release was considered 3 point of contact but cross ankle was considered only 2.

From the website towards the bottom of http://www.polesportorganization.com/contact/ :
Can you explain the 3 points of contact rule for Level 2?
The 3 points of contact refer to how many body parts you have on the pole at one time. This rule is only in effect in level 2 when you are upside down on the pole (hips higher than your head). The rule would not apply if you hips are below your head, or if you are doing an elbow stand, headstand, handstand, etc. on the floor.
For example, a standard shoulder mount has 3 points of contact (2 hands and 1 shoulder).
Other examples of acceptable level 2 moves:
Gemini/outside leg hang (back of knee, side body, armpit)
Scorpio/inside leg hang (calf, inner thigh, side body, back of shoulder)
Cross knee release/figure 4 layback (2 inner thighs, calf)Examples of moves that would not be allowed in level 2 because they violate this rule:
Handsprings/iron x
Cocoon
Fanji
Most ayasha (elbow grip) variations
Cross ankle layback/straight leg laybackIf you have move-specific questions, you can send us a video of the move and we’d be happy to take a look.

So I am glad I re-read those rules now, just realized my forearm grip Ayesha should be within the guidelines for level 2 🙂

Here is some clarification on the POCs for Amy:
To answer your specific questions, we count each hand/leg separately, and the upper leg and foot would count as 2 separate points.
Here’s more information about the 3 points of contact:
The 3 points of contact refer to how many body parts you have on the pole at one time. This rule is only in effect in level 2 when you are upside down on the pole (hips higher than your head).
