Grand, Level & Team Split Policies

**Royal Events reserves the right to combine/adjust some of the qualifications to promote competition**

Level Champions

• Level champions can be split between OPEN and USASF
• 3 ways to qualify for level champions:
  • A level must have a minimum of 5 teams
  • If multiple levels have less than 5 teams, we reserve the right to combine levels (totaling to at least 5 teams or more) to promote competition.
  • If a level has fewer than 5 teams and Royal Events is unable to combine levels, the following target scores per division type may apply. If applied, a team must achieve the target score (or higher) to earn the level champion title. 
    • Elite: 90
    • Prep: 90
    • Rec: 90
    • Dance: 87

Grand Champions

• Grand champions can be split between OPEN and USASF
• 2 requirements to qualify for grand champions:
  • Minimum of 10 teams within a division type. 
  • Must have a minimum of 2 levels.

SPLIT QUALIFICATIONS

• Must have a minimum 3 teams per size to split
  • Ex:
    • U17 level 3 has a total of 7  teams
    • 3 teams have below 14 athletes (extra small)
    • 4 teams have between 16 to 20 athletes (small)
    • This situation qualifies for a split because each team size has a minimum of 3 teams
• If a size does not have up to a minimum of 3 teams, Royal Events reserves the right to combine the sizes to promote competition. 
  • Ex:
    • U17 level 3  has a total of 8 teams
    • 3 teams have below 14 athletes (extra small)
    • 3 teams have between 16 to 20 athletes (small)
    • 2 teams have between 28 to 31 athletes (medium)
    • We may combine small and medium to promote competition
