MEET FORMAT
FORMAT Two to four teams compete at a meet. The typical duration is roughly two hours. A meet is made up of six events: Compulsories, Acro, Pyramids, Tosses, Tumbling and Team Routine. A halftime intermission will take place between Pyramids and Tosses. All event competition is in team rotation throughout each event. The rotation order is predetermined by the Head Official prior to the beginning of the meet, but the home team always performs last. SCORING Scoring is based upon pre-determined difficulty start values. Each skill performed is valued by the Officials of the NCATA prior to the meet. Teams submit their skill sequences 72 hours prior to the meet. Officials perform two primary functions at the meet: 1. Monitor the skills being performed to ensure that each element is correctly performed to the equate to the posted start difficulty value; and 2. Evaluate the execution and technique of the skills performed. Scores are posted immediately following the conclusion of each event and overall standings are displayed throughout the meet. Highest combined score after all events wins the meet. The maximum score in each meet is 300 points. EVENT 1: Compulsories (40 possible points) Four heats construct the Compulsory Event: acro, pyramid, toss and tumbling. During each heat the teams perform the exact same skills, allowing the officials to compare the technique and execution of each team. No athlete crossover rules apply from the Compulsories to other events. Acro Heat (10 possible points): one preset sequence performed by two synchronized groups from each team • Straight up heel stretch • Power press (hold stretch on the way down, flyer changes position on the way up) • Arabesque • 270 degree front flip cradle dismount (flyers feet to side) • Unassisted Rewind to Sponge • Dip to heel stretch • 720 degree twist cradle dismount Pyramid Heat (10 possible points): one preset pyramid performed by one group from each team • All feet start on the floor • 4-2-1. Two shoulder level stunts as second level level support (two bases, back, flyer) built before toss up • Basket up from back (three bases tossing, one flyer) • Three catchers in front • 270 degree flip off of the front • Second level dismounts at the same time as the top flyer, to below shoulder level Toss Heat (10 possible points): one preset toss performed by two synchronized groups from each team • Two synchronized back tuck tosses • Four bases tossing, one flyer, two groups Tumbling Compulsory Heat (10 possible points): four preset skills performed by eight athletes from each team. • No changing athletes between compulsory skills • Athletes must be positioned in windows • Skills must be performed in the following order: a. Standing tuck (to front); b. Toe-touch tuck (to front); c. Handspring tuck (to front); d. Round-off handspring layout from left to right in two lines. 2011 and 2012 NCATA National Champions
