The DJ will announce your team 3 times. You will be called on deck and should report to the "on deck" area. When it is your time to take the floor - the moderator will signal for you to take the floor and the DJ will announce you as "Taking the Floor XYZ Squad". Once you are set in your position, you will then be announced as "Now Performing XYZ Squad" this will be your cue to start the routine. If you open with music, you or your designated representative should start the music. If you open with a cheer segment - this is the cue for whoever starts the cheer/chant, to begin.

Coaches will receive the PRELIMINARY time schedule EIGHT days prior to the competition.
The most efficient way to receive your confirmation packet is via email - please provide an email address on your registration form.

• Review the content of your music for profanity or other inappropriate language.
• All-Star Cheerleading's main sound system has A CD PLAYER.
• Music of poor quality detracts from your routine and could affect the scoring by the judges. We suggest you play your CD on a variety of boom boxes and CD players to listen to the quality on several different CD players. We suggest you bring several copies of your music.
• Designate one representative from your group to run your music; this person must remain at the sound table throughout the entire performance.
• Your routine music should be the ONLY thing on the CD and it should start at the beginning. We cannot be responsible for "finding" the music on your CD. If you are using a CD, please have only the cuts you will be using on the CD you bring.

Performance order is determined by random draw. The preliminary schedule will be e-mailed to all coaches 8 days prior to the event. It is your responsibility to confirm that you are in the right division and your performance order allows for ample time for your cross overs to recover and be ready to perform on the next squad. Any REQUESTS for changes, corrections or modifications to the schedule must be done via e-mail by 12 noon on the Wednesday prior to the event. We make every attempt to be as accommodating as possible to all teams, however, requests made to close to the event day cause major inconveniences for the event organizers as well as other teams that have entered. All final schedules will be set at 12 noon the Wednesday prior to the event and will not be changed. Any imperative change requests made after this deadline (including those requests made at the event) will be honored at the discretion of the tournament director and will result in a 10 point penalty PER JUDGE to the team requesting the change, if the change is granted. The final schedule will be available after 5 p.m. on the Thursday prior to the event on this site.

Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable unless written notice of withdrawal from the competition is postmarked at least 14 days before the competition date.
