Rules

Most people who don't follow competitive cheerleading are unaware that there are actually a set of rules the cheerleaders must apply when performing. There are 6 different levels, level 1 being the easiest and level 6 being the hardest, the rules vary depending on the level. Then within each level it is divided into three sections juniors, seniors and open. At every competition there are about four to ten judges that asses your performance based on your level. If a team breaks a rule they will loose points to their score, however if they apply the rules correctly then there team will gain points to their score.
