Who is eligible for Summit Bids? Any team that competes AND receives a bid in one of the above divisions to The Summit at qualifying events.
Where can I get a bid? View the Summit Bid listing here!
Will international teams be eligible to earn bids at US events? Canadian teams are the only international teams allowed to receive bids from Varsity All Star events in the United States. International teams will be eligible to receive bids from our designated Varsity All Star International Events and Partner Events. Additional Information can be found at on the nternational FAQ and Bid Listing for more information.
If an athlete from our bid winning team can’t make it to The Summit, are we allowed to replace them with another athlete from our gym? You MUST compete with the number of athletes that you qualify with. You can compete with less as long as it keeps you in the same division. You will only be able to replace 25% of your roster from the time you received your bid until you compete at The Summit. Example: A team of 22 competes and receives a bid, they can only replace 7 athletes (6.25 is 25% and we always round up) at the time of The Summit competition.
What is the Wild Card Round? The Wild Card round of The Summit will take place Friday, May 3rd at the Walt Disney World Resort® in Orlando, FL. NEW this season: the top FIVE teams in each division will automatically advance to Sunday’s Final Round. There will not be any teams advancing from Wild Card (Friday) to Semi Finals (Saturday).
How many teams advance from Semi Finals (Saturday) to Finals (Sunday)?
*Once registration is FINAL, divisions with 31 or more will be looked at to consider advancing additional teams.
Are Crossovers allowed at The Summit? Athletes will not be allowed to compete on more than 2 cheer teams across The Summit Championships. Athletes can only cross up or down one level at The Summit (EX: Level 2 athlete may only crossover to a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 team). All Level 4.2 athletes may only crossover to levels 2, 3 or 4. Athletes can only cross up or down a level at The Summit. Level 5 athletes that competed at Cheerleading Worlds can only cross to level 4 & 5 Summit divisions (Excludes Level 4.2). No crossovers will be allowed to compete on both a cheer and a dance team at The Summit. However a Cheerleading Worlds athlete may compete at the Dance Summit and a Dance Worlds athlete may compete at The Summit.
*Reminder that we do not guarantee crossovers at The Summit during the Semi-Finals Round or Finals Round.
Participants may only represent one gym. Participants must pay an additional $100 registration fee for each additional team performance. However, if there is an athlete that is on a Paid bid team and crossing over to another Paid Bid team there will be no crossover fee applied. Only if an athlete is on a Paid Bid team as well as an At-Large bid team will that athlete will be required to pay the crossover fee.

Is more than one team from the same program location eligible to receive a bid in the same Summit division? If a program has a team that was awarded a bid in a division, a legitimate second team can still compete for an additional bid, but may not share any athletes with the team already in possession of one regardless of registration status.
Are crossovers allowed between The Summit and The D2 Summit? No athlete can compete at both The Summit and the D2 Summit in the same competitive season in the USASF divisions. The ONLY exception to this is if an athlete competes on an IASF team at The Summit – that athlete will be allowed to compete at the D2 Summit on ONE TEAM ONLY.
