CHEER COMPETITION SEASON JUST GOT 3X BETTER!
Teams that compete at UCCC- Battle of the Bow, UTEP Cheerleading Championships, and Sun City Showdown will become eligible to be recognized in our West T3Xas score-off. Teams that meet the eligibility requirements will have their three competition scores averaged out. The top three teams in each category (Recreational, School, Gameday, All-Star) will then be able to choose their “best” routine to be scored virtually by a qualified panel of Varsity judges who will review skills, deductions, drivers, max points and other critical scoring components. From there, the top three teams in each category (Recreational, School, Gameday, & All- Star) will be invited to the West T3Xas Awards Ceremony to be recognized and West T3Xas High Point Champions in each category be announced.
