3. Maximum length of the form performances
Q3.1: The rules state that all forms except IWUF-42 hand form must be performed in 4 minutes. Is this really the case?
A3.1: Yes
Q3.2: Are there no exceptions to this rule?
A3.2: No
Q3.3: But my form normally takes XX minutes to perform. Is it possible that I can get some more time for my form?
A3.3: No, we do not make any special exceptions.
Q3.4: So what should I do? My form should really be performed in XX minutes.
A3.4: That is up to you to decide. One solution is to speed up the form a little bit. Another solution is to cut it off at 4 minutes, so that you only perform the parts that you can manage to do in 4 minutes. Either way is fine according to the rules.
