Virtual College Nationals Information

We know that there are a variety of situations for teams and want to be able to accommodate as many of them as we can. Teams wishing to compete in the UCA/UDA College Virtual National Championship Divisions must have pre-approval to participate and be eligible to compete. All teams must submit a letter on university/school letterhead from your administrator why you are unable to attend the championship in person. Please submit all letters to College@varsity.com. Once you submit your letter, you will receive an email back and if approved it will include the link to register for the Virtual Divisions.

PRICING

The Virtual Competition will be $100 per person for the first two performances. For those teams participating in both the performance divisions and virtual Game Day Competition, it will be an additional $30 per participant if Game Day is the third performance.

VIRTUAL DIVISIONS

All Divisions will be guaranteed a Semi-Final and Final round of competition. 50% of the actual number of teams competing will advance from Semi-Finals to Finals. Once the finalists are announced, score sheets and rankings will be emailed out. Teams who advance to Finals will have the option to record a new routine and upload, or they can upload the same video they used for Semi-Finals. If teams choose to record again, the coach will again need to use the college template in the new recording as well.

FILMING, TEMPLATE & ROSTER INFORMATION

We’ve created a step-by-step PDF guide, HERE with filming requirements and tips. All teams must submit an official team roster along with release waivers for each athlete competing prior to receiving the college template for the video. The coach will be required to hold up the college template at the beginning of their routine to verify the Team Name, Divisions, Athletes and Date Filmed. The routine can be recorded any time after you receive the college template. You do not have to have a keyword for your video.
