College Division Guidelines

  • Each team division (cheer and dance) have a routine maximum length of 2:30. Cheer teams are encouraged to have a choreographed cheer portion of their routine in order to potentially receive the maximum amount of points in the voice category (see Traditional score sheets for category point totals, etc). If a cheer routine is choreographed entirely to music with a voice-over section, the judges will determine the quality, execution, and if the amount of "voice" is sufficient for maximum points. If the performance has no choreographed words, cheer, voice-over during the official start and stop of the routine, each judge will give a zero for the voice category.
  • Individual cheerleader divisions are limited to a maximum of 1:30. Cheer Ltd does not set parameters on the length of music, but the "crowdleading" category does incorporate "voice" into the judging criteria. Therefore a routine should include a cheer/chant and/or voice-over section in order to potentially receive the maximum amount of points in "crowdleading."
  • Stunt group divisions are to be choreographed completely to music. Routine length maximum is 1:30. Stunt choreography is limited to stunting only. Deductions will be taken for any routine incorporating tumbling, dance, choreographed motions and/or jumps that are not specifically performed into, during, or out of stunts. Mounts, transitions, or dismounts that legally incorporate jumps, motions, or tumbling skills are acceptable.
