Nations Cup Event Series

From the West to the East Coast, the Top End to Tassie, AUS Cheer's Nations Cup event series is coming to a town near you!

The Nations Cup event series has FOUR rounds of awesome cheerleading action. With a mix of Regional, State, National and even International events, there is a competition for everyone.

AUS Cheer's 'Nations Cup' is a points based system, which allows Australian teams to compete against each other ALL season. That's right, we said ALL SEASON.

Teams will be able to earn points every time they attend an AUS Cheer Competition, giving them the chance to compete against teams across Australia without having to travel to the same competitions.

The team with the most points at the end of the season will be crowned the Nation's Cup Champions at the AUS Cheer Australian Grand Championships. The winning team will receive a special commemorative gift.

To win a TYPICAL competition you have to be good for a day, but to win the Nations Cup you have to be GREAT all year! Is your team up for the challenge?

When does the Nations Cup Series start?

The Nations Cup series starts with the first Australian Challenge event of the year in May and ends at the Australian Grand in October.

How do I earn points?

Earning points for the Nations Cup Series is easy. Teams accumulate points throughout the entire AUS Cheer season. Firstly, you receive points for just turning up! And then your performance score is used to calculate your final score.

At the end of the four rounds, the top three scores for each team will be added together to calculate their final Nations Cup standing. To reward teams who travel to more than three AUS Cheer competitions, the bonus points will ALWAYS be included in your final placing.

Here is how AUS Cheer will calculate each team’s Nations Cup points:

Each team’s final score will be multiplied by 10. This is the number of points that the team will receive for that event. For example, a team with a final score of 128 will receive 1,280 points.

Level adjustment (Cheer)

As scores are out of 165 points for teams entered in Level 1, and 200 points for teams entered in Level 2-6, teams entered in Level 1 will have their performance score multiplied by 200, then divided by 165, to get an adjusted score out of 200 points.

Bonus points!

Bonus Points will be earned at every event attended, regardless if the team score is used from that event (for teams that attend more than 3 events).

- Each team that attends an Australian Challenge will receive 100 Bonus Points (per event).

- Each team that attends an Australian Showdown will receive 200 Bonus Points.

- Each team that attends the AUS Cheer Internationals or Australian Grand will receive 300 Bonus Points (per event).
