2011-2012 Scoring System
Varsity All Star Scoring System
The Varsity All Star Scoring System was created three years ago by a team of score sheet experts and all star coaches. The world of all star cheerleading is ever-changing and we believe that the scoresheet must reward both the coaches and athletes; the athletes for their athleticism and hard work, and the coaches for the innovation and unique flare they bring to the choreography of the routines. After all, these qualities are what set all star cheerleading apart from other activities.

The Scoring Rubric
Our goal was to create a scoring rubric that was easy to understand and that enabled a routine's creativity to be rewarded. In recent years, coaches have commented on the compulsory nature of a strict rubric and felt that the detailed requirements left little time for coaches and choreographers to come up with the next "new idea or skill". We believe our score sheet allows for teams that go "outside the box" to be rewarded for doing so.
Difficulty vs. Execution
In an effort to reward both Difficulty and Technique, we've separated the two categories. Teams are encouraged to push the envelope by showcasing new skills but never at the expense of incredible technique. Flawless technique, at any level of difficulty, will make any team successful on the Varsity All Star score sheet.
Entertainment
We want the Judges to experience the entertainment factor in your routine! Some score sheets are so complex and require so much mathematical computation that it leaves the Judges little time to "watch" the routine! We have simplified our judging process with the hope that they can enjoy watching the routines as much as you've enjoyed creating them.
What Wins
There isn't a secret formula that will "win" on the Varsity All Star score sheet. The best advice to follow is this; do what makes your team look great. if your team's strength is in pyramids, then performing two pyramids in a routine will showcase their talents in the best way. A strong jumping squad may want to throw an additional toe touch at the end of their jump sequence. When deciding what elements to incorporate into your routine, make sure you always put your squad's best foot forward.
