    Stunt Group Choreography - Stunt routines may not incorporate choreographed motions (other than the flyer during a stunt), tumbling (unless part of the stunt/transition), dance or jumps. 10 points per occurrence will be deducted based on divisional guidelines (see DEDUCTION score sheet and Deduction Guidelines).

    Rules Interpretations
    Official rule interpretations may be obtained by utilizing the following protocol:

    a. Video (DVD) or video posted online (i.e. YouTube) of the stunt, pyramid, or tumbling in question from the 1) front, 2) side and 3) back.

    b. Provide a written explanation of the question to include team name, division, coach’s name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. Cheer Ltd will call with a verbal ruling as well as fax a written copy of the ruling.

    c. Official rulings will not be made after February 1, 2012 on for Cheer Ltd. Nationals at CANAM.

    d. Submit your Video and written explanation to:
    Cheer Ltd
    Attn: Rules Interpretation
    118 Ridgeway Dr., Suite 101
    Fayetteville, NC 28311.

    Cheer Ltd can only interpret if the stunt, pyramid, or tumbling in question is executed legally based on the quality of the tape/DVD and it's filming. You may still incur safety deductions if the stunt, pyramid, or tumbling in question is performed differently during competition. Any ruling does not guarantee that you will not incur safety deductions during the performance of your routine. Documentation of each safety ruling request and the interpretation will be reviewed and available to the judges at the event at which the team is competing.
