Score Check:

Coaches who wish to clarify point deduction(s)/legalities or challenge scores they feel are out of range in DIFFICULTY (for worlds teams only) may meet with a score convenor for review. The score convenor will have the ability to review the discrepancy and reward/deduct points accordingly. Please be sure to fully read and understand the Score Challenge policy thoroughly, any coaches/program found to be abusing the system will be barred from challenging scores for the remainder of the season or competition.

Teams will have 30 minutes after their performance to report to Score Check for clarifications/review. Teams that are last in the division should report immediately to Score Check as the timeline may be closer to 20 minutes after their performance time in order for us to remain on schedule for Awards. All score check challenges must be submitted to the score check convenor within this 20 minute time frame.

Canadian Cheer will endeavor to communicate this information in a clear way, and do our best to ensure teams have an equal and fair chance to review their scores.

How Score Check Works:

Report to score check after your team’s performance(5 – 10 mins). If you are within 20 minutes of awards please report immediately after your video review.
Check with the score check admin(s) to see if your team sheet has been released and when the 20-minute time frame finishes. Ensure you are within the timeline and know the deadline.
Request your team score check document from the desk.
Review point deductions and difficulty scores (for worlds teams only), and reference the available grids and rules if needed. Your cheer replay email(s) should have a video clip of your defection or legality.
Challenges may be made for any scores out of RANGE (worlds teams only) and/or point deduction/safety infractions. Please make an appointment with the convenor with either the score check admin or the schedule link provided. Ranges will need a details description of elements in the routine in dispute. IE – numbers of passes, number majority, stunt descriptions, etc. A convenor will meet with you according to your spot in the queue. The convenor will review your video, and make a decision. There is a 5-minute time limit per challenge, and only 2 coaches/ team representatives are permitted to meet with the convenor at one time.
If the challenge results in a score change, please request a new score check document with the changed scores. This ensures that the scores were entered into the system and are officially accepted.
