IMPORTANT NOTICE



Division Changes

After consideration of our member’s comments the BCA’s Competition Committee has recommended that once a squad has entered into a division they will NOT be able to change to another division after they have sent in thier entry forms, except in exceptional circumstances. This decision will alleviate the unsporting movement of trophy hunting squads.

Crossovers



Crossovers are now unlimited with a charge being made. cheerleaders can not compete against themselves i.e. They can not compete in the “AN Other Elite” (Team A) Junior level 4 verses “AN Other” (Team B) Junior level 4.

Temporary ID's


The issue of temporary ID cards on the day of a competition will now require proof of ID and age and will incur a cost equal to that of the spectator ticket for that day.
