Registration

Divisions

Specialty Divisions

Due to the time constraints of a single-day event, we can only accommodate up to 20 routines for registration. Spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that even if your registration form is submitted successfully, you may still be placed on the waitlist. A follow-up email will confirm whether your registration is accepted or waitlisted. As we finalize the schedule, we will reassess and may be able to accommodate additional specialty routines closer to the event date. Thank you for your understanding!

Competition Flow

We are working closely with the Conexus Arts Centre to enhance the flow and experience of this year’s Provincials. Athlete safety and event efficiency remain our top priorities, and several updates have been made to improve operations.

Athlete Drop-Off and Pickup:

Athlete drop-off and pickup will occur in the theatre lobby upstairs, minimizing congestion in the box office and coat check areas as well as in the basement. Coaches will be responsible for meeting athletes in the lobby and escorting them backstage to the athlete-only area. No access will be permitted backstage/downstairs for anyone other than athletes and coaches.

Athlete Holding Areas:

Athletes will be grouped by clubs/schools and assigned designated holding areas in either a meeting room (downstairs) or dressing room (backstage upstairs). Wear comfy shoes 🙂

Warm-Up Area:

The Convention Hall, previously used for athlete holding and warm-up, will now be warm-up only.

• No food, drinks, backpacks, boots, etc. will be permitted in this area.
• The warm-up setup will include three stations in the Convention Hall:

1. Stretch
2. Tumbling strip
3. 9-mat dead floor

• Teams will then transition to the Jacqui Shumiatcher Room, which features high ceilings, for a second 9-mat dead floor.

This updated layout ensures flexibility for stunt warm-up and addresses prior concerns.

Judges and Scorecheck:

Judges and scorecheck operations will be located in the first balcony, which will be closed off to the public.

Spectator Access:

Tickets will be available for online purchase in advance, as well as in-person at the box office.

• Ticket scanning will occur in the theatre lobby, where spectators will receive a stamp or wristband for access.
• Entry to the theatre will not be permitted without a stamp or wristband.
• The entire main floor, second balcony, and third balcony will be open to spectators.

Please note that these plans are still in development and are subject to change as we work to address feedback from previous events and ensure a smooth experience for all participants and spectators.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Music

SCA Music Policy

All teams must provide their own music either on device with a headphone connection.  A sound system will be provided.  Speed control is not available.  Music checks on the main sound system are not permitted.  A representative must be present at the sound system at the time of the performance.  Advisors/coaches are asked to hold onto their own music until the time of performance and to take music back following the performance.  Devices must be on Airplane mode and volume set to max. We are thrilled to have our favourite MC, tBone, and favourite DJ, Andre the Giant, on site to assistour teams with their music requirements. Music station will be located next to the perofrmance surface.

Scoring

The SCA uses Cheer Canada’s score sheets and judging methodology. All judges will be Cheer Canada Certified. New this year, the SCA will be providing our judges with an electronic scoring system, which will increase consistency and feedback for our teams.

Scorecheck is located in the first balcony lobby and deduction/legalities scoresheets will be available to coaches to pickup approximately 10 minutes after your team competes.  Coaches will have 15 minutes to submit an appeal once their scoresheets are ready. ONLY deductions and legalities can be appealed.
