For cheer families
How to read a cheer score, in plain English.
Events score routines out of different totals. This season many score out of 100, some out of 170, and some use a sheet of their own. One season can hold all three. Here is how to read any result.

Four things to know
- Placement first"2nd of 9" is the fair way to compare one weekend with another, whatever sheet each event used.
- A score needs its total82.40 of 100 and 142.50 of 170 are on different sheets. Neither number is better on its own.
- Where the points wentEach part shows the points earned out of what it was worth, in your gym's words.
- Points taken offWhat a deduction costs depends on the sheet, so compare deductions only on the same sheet.
One season, two sheets

Compare placements, not points. A score compares the teams at one event, on one day.
Ask your coach
Your coach has the event's sheet and knows what each part asks for. Two good questions after any competition:
Which part had the most room?
What is the team working on before the next event?
