Important Information
We are so excited to announce a VIRTUAL SCAU NATIONALS!
We know that nothing can replace what we experience in April every year in person, but we really want to see all those fabulous routines that were left behind!
We have invited our member teams to submit video(s) of performances that never got to see the Nationals floor. We will run this similar to a Best of the Best competition. Videos will be distributed to judges who are volunteering their time. Scores will determine this year's Best of the Best winners as well as the Grand Champions.
TIMELINE
July 2-10: Submit Videos AND Register
July 15-31: Judging
August 11: Live announcement of winners at 7:00 p.m.
AWARDS
We have tried to keep these as consistent with Nationals as possible
with the addition of Elementary/Primary Best of the Best for this event only.
Juniors and Seniors (Divided by Classic and Select--Nova will be entered into Classic)
Best of the Best - Top 3 Routines will receive Bronze, Silver and Gold medals and Best of the Best Banner for the top scoring routine. Other placements dependent on # of entries and funding.
Videos of highest scoring routines will be featured on our Facebook page.
Grand Champions* - Will (eventually) receive the Traveling GC Trophy from last year's Champion and Backpacks.
*Grand Champions will be determined by the highest average of all 3 scored routines (remember, you do not have to enter 3 routines for the Best of the Best Competition, but you have to do 3 to be eligible for GC).
Elementary and Primary (Divided by Classic and Select)
Best of the Best - Top 3 Routines will receive Bronze, Silver and Gold medals. Other placements dependent on # of entries and funding. Videos of highest scoring routines will be featured on our Facebook page.
