• Any questions or concerns that affect a team’s performance or experience must be communicated by One coach to CCE’s competition director, Lashawn Gaylord.
• Participants, coaches or spectators are prohibited from making contact with the Judges during the competition.
• Judges’ rulings are final related to deductions, final team placements and legalities.
• Any unruly, aggressive or belligerent behavior by participants, coaches or spectators toward any other attendee or CCE Event Staff may result in potential deduction, team disqualification, removal from the event and/or barred participation from future CCE Competitions.

• Cheer Champs Elite reserves the right to combine, split, or delete divisions as necessary. Cheer Champs Elite may move your team to the appropriate division based on registration.
• Co-Ed/All Girl Combining Divisions: PERMITTED COMBINATIONS:

• All Crossovers MUST be in the correct age and grade levels.
• There is no limit on the number of teams on which they can compete.

• All Schools will follow the guidelines and rules put fourth by AACCA/NFHS. You must let us know if your team is Intermediate or Advanced and/or All Music so that you will be placed accordingly

•  In an event that the routine is interrupted, our procedures are listed as follows:
• Routine Stoppage: The only individuals that may stop a routine for injury are:
• CCE Staff
• Gym Owner/Coach/Team Representative from the team performing
• Injured Individual
• Head Judge
• Injury: An injured athlete may create a potential safety hazard because of the inability to hold, support, spot, or catch. For the safety of all athletes competing, a routine may be interrupted if:
  • An athlete is clearly injured.
  • An athlete is questionably injured and does not resume their role in the routine within 5 seconds of questionable injury.
  • An athlete leaves the competition floor due to an injury.
• Performance Area Injury: If an injury interruption occurs during a performance, the Head Judge and/or CCE event directors will have final say in determining if a team is allowed to perform again. In the event that a team is allowed to perform again following a routine interruption, the new performance time will be at the sole discretion of CCE directors. The team will be allotted time to make adjustments to their routine and re-perform their routine at a later time. The team must (pending the injury’s impact on the routine) perform the routine again in its entirety, but judging will resume from the point at which the injury/interruption occurred, as determined by the judges. All skills must be performed full-out from the beginning of the routine. All point deductions accumulated to that point (if any) would carry over.
• Practice Area Injury: If an injury occurs during Warm-Up, CCE will do our best to work your team back into the schedule, as close as possible to your original performance order. Furthermore, it will be up to CCE whether or not to schedule your team’s performance out of sequence.

We ONLY hire Certified Independent Judges, that are well-versed and highly trained under the Industry Standards Rules, Scoring and Guidelines!  Our Certified Judge Coordinator, who is one of the best Safety Judge’s in the industry, they are extremely educated in all of the rules that govern our sport.  We know that NOT every competition, nor every Judge scores the same and because of this, sometimes conflicts and confusion arise, the only guarantee we can give you is that our judges follow the EXACT rules that USASF has set forth.  Being a non-sanctioned event producer, it is important to us that your routines receive accurate critiques ensuring when they are performed at a sanctioned event they receive the highest possible score without any deductions.
