- Preliminary order of performances will be sent out via email by February 7, 2025- no changes in divisions will be made for any reason. You may inform us of drops in numbers but this will not change your division.
- There must be three teams entered in a division for that division to make. Division 3 and 4 schools will compete in Session 2 (Saturday Morning). Division 1 and 2 schools will compete in Session 4 (Saturday Evening). We have listed all categories separately, but if there are not three or more teams in a division that are both from Division 3 and 4 or Division 1 or 2 - we will combine that Division. Cut off date is January 1, 2025 for the three teams entered.
- Coaches will be contacted by February 7, 2025 if a division will not compete.
- Splits into large and small categories are dependent on the teams registered. Once there are 9 teams entered in a division, the division will be split at the natural break for large and small. Coaches will be notified of these splits via the Preliminary Order of Performance emailed by February 7th.
- All teams must follow USA Cheer rules/NF Handbook for 2022-2023 and all policies set forth on www.statecheer.com and in our Coaches Handbook (emailed to registered head coaches).
Routine Material:
We encourage all teams to use original and appropriate material. There is not a penalty for using camp material however, representatives from cheer companies may be judging the tournament.
Music:
MyRemix will be providing the Music/Sound once again for this year’s Tournament. Your music must be downloaded onto your device so that it plays in “Airplane” mode. For your convenience, there is a “Cheer Music Player” app available for free from the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Speaker devices will be available at each station in the Warm Up area. Remember, - US Copyright law states, ‘No teams are permitted to create a remix, mash-up or melody without proper written authorization from the copyright owners”.
