DIVISION BREAKDOWNS

Divisions will be broken down by size, at the discretion of TSC, based on the quantity of teams that register. TSC scoresheets are set up to reward execution, difficulty, and choreography – not size. A small team competing against a large team in the same division will be judged equally and squad size will play no role in scoring.

PAYMENT INFORMATION

All invoices and registration fees must be paid in full, and received, no later than the posted deadline dates. If you need to set up a pre-approved payment plan - please email Missy directly at accounting@thespiritconsultants.com and she will work with you to set it up. 

The Spirit Consultants accepts school checks, ASB/booster account checks, cashier’s checks, money orders, and credit cards (VISA/MC). All credit card payments will have an additional 5% processing/admin fee added to the final bill. Personal checks will NOT be accepted. 

There are NO REFUNDS once payments are made and received.

GAME DAY PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

• 3-minute total time limit. Teams will set up as they take the floor. Time will begin with the first beat of the band chant music.
• One continuous performance demonstrating the compilation of the gameday elements – band chant, crowd leading, and fight song – plus a situational element.
• All performances will follow the same order: BAND CHANT into SITUATIONAL ELEMENT into CROWD LEADING into FIGHT SONG.
• Following completion of the band chant, there will be an announcer cue. Teams will need a predetermined situational sideline and they may begin immediately following the announcement. Teams should show their definitive understanding of the situation with an offense or defense crowd leading response, which will transition the team into the crowd leading section of the performance.
• Following completion of the crowd leading section, teams will complete their fight song routine.
• Specific skill restrictions for the FIGHT SONG section include:
  • No basket, sponge, or elevator tosses allowed (cradles are dismounts, not tosses).
  • No inversions.
  • No twisting dismounts from stunts.
  • Single-leg extended stunts are limited to liberties and liberty hitches.
  • No running tumbling.
  • Standing tumbling is limited to ONE SKILL, with back tucks being the most elite tumbling skill allowed.
• Each section should have a designated beginning and end with spirited crowd interaction between.

ALL GAME DAY ENTRIES WILL BE A FLAT $25 PER PARTICIPANT.
