when I went to Nationals '08 I noticed that everytime it was someones turn they were ready to do their freestyle. I was wondering how the person would know when it was their turn to go. Please tell me how this works and if it is the same way in most contests. ---

Usually there is an order when you sign up. So I think they just go, “Okay, I’m after him, so after his freestyle is over, I’ll go on stage” ---
