Each squad will receive their "Spirit Cheer Score Sheets" as well as the "Deduction Sheet". These sheets will be available at the judging/tabulations desk approximately 30 minutes after the completion of the division awards ceremony at one day events and at the 2 day National Championships, approximately 2 hours after each level has been completed on day one in the coach hospitality room with final score sheets being given after awards on Day 2. Final rankings will appear on the web site that following Wednesday after the event.

Varsity Brands has developed a Universal score sheet and scoring program. We believe you will find it easy to understand, straightforward, and it will help you and your program to score the maximum allowable per skill they execute. Judges will be selected on experience, expertise and background.
VIDEO REVIEW
Spirit Cheer's deduction judges, head judge and event director will review any deduction via video review prior to handing out a rules violation or deduction. If you feel that you have been given an inappropriate deduction then the head judge and/or the event director will review the video. The coach will not be present at the viewing, and the decision of the head judge and event director is final and can not be challenged. Any questions regarding deductions or violations WILL NOT be allowed after the posting of rankings for that division. Many coaches challenge judge rankings and placings. Sometimes with merit, and sometimes without. It is our goal with our judges to get all the placings at an event correct. The head judge and event director can overturn and teams placing based upon their review and expertise of a ranking our team placement.
School/Recreation
Spirit Cheer will use our School and Recreation Score Sheets listed here for you to review. We urge you to review each catagory being scored so that you are up to date prior to an event. Each score sheet is based out of 100pts. Please note that the penality and infraction sheet is different from the all-stars penality and infraction sheet. Spirit Cheer follows AACCA rules and guidelines, these can be found at AACCA.org.At a 2 Day Competition, Day 1 is 20% and Day 2 is 80%.
