More Important Information
- All routines must follow the NFHS Spirit Rules.
- Routines may not exceed 2:30 minutes. The non-music/cheer portion of the routine must be a minimum of 45 seconds.
- A 10 point penalty will be levied if there is not a 45 second break in the music (cheer, chant, and/or any non-music choreography). This is a requirement for this event and there is no grace on this competition guideline.
- Competition surface - 54' x 42' cheer floor.
- Divisional order and start times will be posted prior the week of competition; participating teams and performance times will not be posted. A complete order of performance will be available in the official event program sold at the competition.
- Warm up mats provided during assigned warm up times.
- National Certified Judging panels include: four panel, two deduction, and one head.
- Participation has been steadily growing for this event and to accommodate more teams, there will be alternating panels of judges making the performances more compact and the day a little shorter!
- An optional safety review will be available in the warm up area for teams wishing to have a safety judge look at stunt(s) and/or tumbling PRIOR to going on the judged floor.
- Teams must provide a person to start, stop and/or pause music.
- No cross-competing allowed (i.e., a JV cheerleader cannot also compete on a Varsity team).
- Photo specifications can be obtained on the photo submission instructions. All photos sent to Cheer Ltd for the NCHSAA program will be returned at registration.
- Team and action photos will be taken by Jamie Christian Photography and will only be available for purchase at the event.
- See registration form for divisions offered. For Non-Tumble divisions, please note the following zero tumbling rule...
Non-Tumble divisions - No tumbling that can be identified by tumbling/gymnastics definitions are allowed to be performed in the Non-Tumble divisions. (i.e. forward rolls or handstands are NOT allowed. Seat rolls or hip hop rolls/choreographed moves are ALLOWED). EXCEPTIONS: any tumbling that would be considered part of a (legal) stunt entry or transition can be performed because that would be judged in the appropriate Stunt/Pyramid categories.
Spectators
