Back to TopDo I have to pay for my Dresser/Dancer?All persons who are not contestants, promoters, or staff of USofA Pageants must pay cover to enter the Round Up. At the contestant meeting on May 20 you will be able to purchase a weeklong pass for your dancers, dressers, assistants, etc. They are only sold at that meeting, so bring the cash for these tickets with you. The price is $65.00 per person

These passes will be sold at registration and will only be valid for the specific days that you pay for. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy. Back to TopWhen do I get my score sheets?All contestants will receive their preliminary score sheets as soon immediately following crowning on final night. They will be available from the Contestant Coordinator. He can not answer any questions about your scores. Top Twelve finalist's scores will be available as soon as the winner is announced. They will be in the main dressing room. Back to TopWhy has the scoring changed for Miss USofA?In response to requests made by contestants, we have changed the preliminary system for all USofA Pageant's National Pageants. Contestants did not like being assigned to groups in advance of the pageant. They felt that they did not have fair chances of making finals if they were in a "strong" group. Because of this request, contestants will draw their group assignments at the first contestant meeting. If they are not happy with the group they draw, they may trade with another contestant. In an effort to be fair to all contestants, the scoring was changed so that the 12 highest scoring contestants will be in finals. That means that if a group has the 4 highest scoring contestants, all four will go to finals. If a group has no contest that scores in the top twelve, no one from that group will go to finals.
Back to TopHow will I know what is going on daily while in Dallas?Each morning of the Pageant, USofA Pageants will publish the USofA Today newsletter. It will be delivered to all contestant rooms. It will contain updated schedule information as well as interesting stories, pictures from the night before and a gossip column. Back to TopWhat can I expect my promoter to pay for?You can expect your promoter to only pay for the things that were listed in your contract or contestant handbook. Anything else is your responsibility. If your promoter pays for anything else, that is extra. Do not count on anything other than your prize package and budget accordingly. Make sure and keep in constant communication with your promoter to prevent unpleasant surprises for either party. Back to TopWhat happens if I qualify but do not attend Miss Gay USofA 2008?If you qualify to attend a USofA Pageant's National Pageant by placing as Winner or First Alternate and do not attend the National Pageant, then you will be prohibited from competing in, judging, entertaining at or attending any USofA Pageant until you have paid back the promoter the prize package, paid a $250 reinstatement fee to the National Promoter and waited at least one year from the date of the National Pageant you failed to attend.
