SCORING & DIVISIONS

Divisions will be divided by scoring system (WY, CO) and school size (5A, 4A, 3A, etc) and division (All Girl, Coed, Game Day). We will have certified judges from each state as well as top tier technical judges to ensure your skills are legal for your state competitions. We will provide detailed routine feedback on any adjustments that are recommended prior to your state competition in addition to the feedback on score sheets! Technical judge will be available to answer questions after the competition. 

Teams will receive their tech sheets prior to the division concluding, however, we are not allowing contesting of technical deductions due to sheer bandwidth. We will review all technical deductions with the head judge. Score sheets will be available after awards for each division. 

You will receive the breakdown of your divisions by email no later than Sunday evening, November 17th at 11pm. 

Our judging panel Is stacked and this should keep the pace of the competition on track: Keith Espinoza (tech), Ryan Stock (Panel), Kaitlyn Lyday (Panel), Tanner Lyday (Panel), Meredith Kidd (Panel), Megan Hawthorne (Panel), Erin Bruggemen (Panel), Dawn Burton (Panel), Travis Prior (Panel), and Shaun Jones (Head Judge).

AWARDS

Division winners will receive banners. All places will be announced.

EMCEE

Vinny Wilson will be the Emcee for our event.

JUMP OFF

There will be a jump off before each award presentation where each team can send up to 6 athletes. We will break the sessions up. All teams competing before the first awards session, and not competing after the first awards session, will join the jump off. Only competing teams are eligible (not exhibition teams). Teams competing after the second awards session, regardless if they competed in the first session or not, will participate in the second round of the jump off. This is specifically because we do not want athletes focusing on themselves for this fun event until they are finished competing with their team for the day. The winner of each session will receive a teal NoCo Classic T shirt! We will send a message in Band specifically for where athletes need to go to line up before the Jump Off begins. We encourage teams to come into the gym and support their teammates!

COST

The cost Is $300 per team, and $150 for an additional entry for the same team. For example, Varsity and JV would be $300 each, but for a Varsity competing a traditional and a game day routine, they would pay $450 total. If you need an Invoice to be created or need to make your payment, It must be done prior to the event.

MAKE A PAYMENT

This competition will benefit the Timnath Cheerleading Booster Club and support Timnath Cheerleading.

EXPERIENCE

Team rooms

Competing teams will be assigned rooms. There will be a checkout process when you leave to ensure rooms are left as they were found. We are lucky to have a beautiful, new building and classrooms but want to make sure we respect them so we can continue to do events like these In the future. Only competition workers, coaches and athletes will be allowed In classrooms and down hallways. This Is for the safety of the athletes. You are still liable / responsible for all of your Items but having assigned classrooms can help minimize lost Items. 

Live streaming

We will be streaming the event on the NFHS network. We will mirror this live stream Into the commons, so you can watch teams In the commons and do not have to be In the gym If you need a break with your team between routines. We will also have vendors and open tables and seating In the commons. 

Photos

We have a backdrop for photos that we would LOVE for you to take team photos In front of and tag @timnathcheer and @classicchampionships on Instagram!

We will have David Johnson Photography taking action shots at the event. He will have galleries for teams available for purchase as singles or full galleries after the event. 

Warm up experience

We are committed to a positive warm up experience. We have two gyms that will be used for warm up: One for stunts in our flex gym with two panels, and one for tumbling on side A and with a full floor on side B In our small gym. We will have a curtain down between the sides of the gym to give the most privacy during warm up possible to each team and to minimize the noise from the full floor warm up and how it impacts tumbling on mat 2. We will not regulate skills on mat 2, you can stunt more when you finish tumbling. We will have water stations for teams between warm up and the performance mat with full gatorade coolers and disposable cups. There Is a corridor between the small gym and the large gym where teams will wait until they take the performance floor and 1-2 teams could be lined up In the small gym near the entrance of this corridor waiting to be officially on deck. We ask they respect the team warming up on the full floor and do any call ups or loud chants / yelling once they get Into the corridor between the gyms. We will have timers moving you from mat to mat, please keep our competition on time and be respectful, leaving the mat when asked. You will be given a 1 minute and 30 second warning before your time Is up and will be provided 1 minute to transition between each surface.

Trainer 

A trainer will be on site, but please bring your own pre-wrap / tape If you need to be taped. We will post Information In Band that morning of where the trainer Is located. The trainer Is an OCR employee and contracts for the district. 

Security

We will have security and custodial on site to ensure safety of our participants and attendees. Coaches will receive wrist bands and only those with wrist bands can go Into the school hallways, up the stairs to classrooms, or In classrooms or the warm up area backstage. Wrist bands are also required to pick up tech sheets and score sheets. Additionally, stamps will be given to all spectators and they must have one or they will not be permitted to enter the commons or gym.

Food / Drink for Teams

You may bring food In for your teams but all food should be brought In via the team entrance. Outside food and drink for spectators Is not permitted. Empty water bottles are fine, as there are many stations around the school.

Coaches Hospitality

Receive complimentary beverages and snacks at check in for coaches. Check your email for a request for a shirt for free for one coach In each program as a thank you for choosing our event In It's Inaugural year!

LOCATION/ENTRANCE

The Northern Colorado Classic will be held at Timnath Middle-High School at 4700 Prospect Rd. Timnath, CO 80547. Timnath High School Is located off of I-25 and Prospect Rd. and you will take the South Entrance Into the school (there are a few, each entrance will work) and park on the South side of the school and walk In the main entrance. Doors will open for spectators at 8:30am.

SPECTATOR FEE

The cost for entry will be $8 for adults paying with cash and $10 paying via card. Children 5 and under are free. Students with a valid student ID and senior citizens will have an entry cost of $5. Internet is not the most reliable so I highly recommend bringing cash for ease of payment. We will have change!

CONCESSIONS

We will have a concession stand open throughout the event, serving delicious breakfast burritos and Krazy Karl's Pizza, snacks and more. We also plan to have a food truck outside for a hot and fresh food option, and a coffee van! No outside food or drink allowed In the venue.

WIFI

The school does have public wifi, but It Is not very reliable when there are crowds In the building trying to use It all at once. The cell phone service Is very challenging In the area. Plan ahead for this!

PARKING & ACCESSIBILITY

We will make sure that there are handicap accessible seats in the gym at all times with clear viewing so all of our spectators will be able to watch their athletes perform. There will be a dedicated viewing area for spectators specific to the team performing for unobstructed views that will be sectioned off as well.

VENDORS

We will have Reverie women's boutique and Kendra Scott on location for our event, just in time to shop for the holidays!

BENEFITS

All profit from this competition will go toward the cost of competing at Nationals for Timnath-Middle High School for the first time In school history, to make cheerleading equitable for all participants. We have worked hard to provide the best possible experience, so that you enjoy yourself and want to come back to support the teams In the future. Please let us know If there Is anything we can do to make the experience more comfortable by emailing us after the event at timnathcheerboosters@gmail.com. Thank you for attending our event!
