| The team prepares to begin Round 1. |

Going first can be considered either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you view competition. Actual
members of teams more than likely prefer NOT to go first, however, going first can give you an upper hand. Example:
Judges tend to judge the first team EASIER than the other teams. This is true at tryouts as well. It's not something
judges do on purpose, it just happens. As judges see more teams, more material and more talent they generally
think to themselves: "Wow...And I gave (fill in team name here) a good score!!" On the other hand, going first can make
a team nervous, and nervous teams are simply that; Nervous. If you are too busy looking nervous you most certainly will
not look confident!
