UCA = Varsity's main and original competition company. Varsity = originator of USASF and Worlds. Worlds was set up/run by the same people way back in the day.

Will it be all rooms for the live internet feed? I was googling and it looked like only the bigger teams perhaps in past (may have had that wrong which is why I am asking)- whilemakes sense from a larger fan base to do those older and higher level teams, but we will be traveling with a level 2 mini team from East Coast (mostly just moms and daughters) and dads and extended family would LOVE to pay the $$$ for a live feed to see these fierce little ones.

We are going to announce our on-line coverage later this week.

I suppose Orlando (Disney) is a great place to hold college and HS nationals. (witness the success UCA has had with those events there.) All Star is a different animal with a different clientele and different expectations. It took Memphis quite a long time to figure that out. They were at least a decade behind everyone else because they kept trying to force all star into the same mold that they had used with success in other markets. NCA, CHEERSPORT, and others recognized and cultivated all star programs in a way that UCA seemingly just didn't understand. If not for Mr. Carrier and some other valuable NCA acquisitions, they would probably still be making teams do 1/2 cheer, performing on a hard floor, and banning males from doing jumps or dance.

We had gone to UCA nationals a couple of times in and around the time that Worlds was getting started. It and Worlds were virtually identical in venue, warmup, registration, lodging, and even used basically the same officials and contact people. (2004 Worlds was an exception because of the # of invited teams.) Why they picked UCA All Star Nationals as the model event for the growth of the industry is a little puzzling.

NOTE: We haven't been to UCA Nationals in a long time. It may be a great event now, but we'll never go because of where it is held.

Thanks. I actually really enjoyed the little history lesson there. I haven't been in cheer/allstar nearly that long so it's nice to learn about things much before my time.

I did the same thing! And there are 7 paid and 21 at large before NCA even happens! Several of those teams at NCA who could easily snatch up an at large have the opportunity to even get paid bids this next weekend.

ETA.. Even worse. There are currently 15 level 5 teams listed for UCA and a total of 20 bids (5 paid, 15 at large)

How do you know about UCA? The schedule isn't even out yet.

They don't know. They are looking at the Road to Worlds website - that list is not definitive.

Except for people have to enter their teams on it. It doesn't track actual registration. There are many teams that are going in Senior Level 5 that aren't listed on the website.

Yeah, it's not any different than the threads here where people list what teams are going - I actually get most of the data from Fierceboard. When the performance order is release I go through (or someone else beats me to it) and add all of the teams on the schedule.

It's awesome they are doing this again but 14.99 per day per venue. Seems like a lot. $60 for both days and venue.

Is there a performance order with the teams names competing?
