Remember that one of the goals of the ULTIMATE BATTLE is to help these teams with the costs associated with traveling to the Cheerleading Worlds. It is with that in mind that Spirit Sports will be giving back to the teams that participate in the Ultimate Battle. 50% of the ULTIMATE BATTLE advanced spectator admissions will be given back to the teams that sell those advanced tickets. The more spectators that a gym brings to the Ultimate Battle, the more money that gym gets to keep for their teams to help pay their way to Orlando!
