That is only high school game day divisions. You qualify for UCA nationals at a regional competition. Elite camps don't participate in gameday at camp so I'm not sure if they're allowed to enter that division at nationals or not, we did not participate in the new gameday stuff so I don't know about that.Is a team's attendance at a UCA camp required for them togo to UCA Nationals? Or does that only apply to teams in the Game Day division?
A team going to NCA camp can qualify for nationals there. I personally didn't like that. After being a coach and seeing the "checklist" to get a bid, it took out any prestige of getting a bid and made the whole thought ridiculous. I don't think NCA HS nationals itself is, but the qualifying process seemed very basic. Again though could have been the individual camp experience.
In my opinion NCA has better dances (though they don't care if you learn them and never evaluated us on them) and UCA has better cheers and set up so you leave having game material ready. I personally think UCA has better stunt classes, but that could attribute to the fact that we've done elite camps. NCA elite (does that exist??) may have the same exact stunts classes. I prefer the way UCA does all American as well and was really turned off on the way coaches could make the staff nominate anyone they wanted at NCA, deserving or not.
