This competition is unique; any level 5 or 6 team with a bid to The Cheerleading Worlds can compete for the cash pot. There are no division breakdowns, just overall highest score wins! $30,000 is up for grabs for all competitors, while $20,000 is available to At-Large Bid teams.

Here’s the prize breakdown by placement:

At-Large Pool

Overall Pool

If an At-Large team earns the highest score at the competition, they could take home a total of $18,000! (combine At-Large 1st prize of 8K and Overall 1st of 10K) This event was created to award additional funds to teams heading to Worlds, and is a great warm up for teams heading to Orlando in April.
