In an effort to be consistent with the latest division modifications in the cheerleading and
dance industry, HYPE has revised its registration form and division structure.  HYPE competitions are not sanctioned by USASF, but we have adopted a lot of their standards in our new divisions structure, particularly for All-Star teams.

If you have any questions, please contact Katy Boeck at 414.731.6880.

What do the levels mean and how will each level be scored?

Open All Ages   All Ages

In order to better monitor participant's ages, we now require ages to be included in addition to grade and divisions per person on the registration form.

We have also requested that the team's level (for cheer only) be added to the registration form.  Instructions are included on the registration form.

Teams have the option of competing an age / grade level up.   and divisions must be selected by the grade level of majority of the team members.

In the event any age or grade questions arise, please contact us 414.371.1002, so we can address them immediately. If it is found that a team has violated the understood agreement, they will be disqualified from the HYPE Event with no refund and prohibited from participating in a HYPE event for up to one year.

Please be patient as we make this transition.  For any additional questions, please contact Katy Boeck at 414.731.6880 or ayanna.allen@hypingitup.com.
