Many rules and regulations must be followed and can be found in the MAC handbook. This handbook will be your guide to performing difficult stunts properly and perfectly. It also informs you of the stunts that are legal and illegal to perform in competitions. In recent years, like any other sport, cheerleading has become extremely competitive and highly involved. Many of the teams competing spend several hours per week perfecting their routines and developing their skills.
Judges possess the power to reward their hard work and grant recognition for their achievements.
A judge has the opportunity to create a positive spirit and attitude that permits talent, teamwork and enthusiasm for the sport of cheerleading. Where as GSR is only cheering throughout. Cheerleading is not only competitions, teams do still cheer for games to support their home teams. This sport is filled with spirit, enthusiasm and dedication. If that's not a dedicated sport I don't know what is.
