The building categories encompass stunts and pyramids, both scored with isolated factors of difficulty, execution and composition.
NOTE: Building videos will address both the traditional and all-building competitive cheer scoring.
BUILDING
Building Introduction
BUILDING DIFFICULTY
A stunt skill is defined as anytime an athlete is lifted by another athlete off the performance floor.
Tosses are scored and defined as a stunt skill.
A pyramid structure is defined as two or more connected stunts.
A pyramid action is defined as a stunt or pyramid skill performed that does not transition from one structure to another structure. However, is used to enhance the visual effect of the pyramid section.
A pyramid transition is defined as elements performed from the completion of one structure to the connection of another structure.
STUNTS and PYRAMIDS - DIFFICULTY
Both have the SAME isolated factors
These 8 isolated factors will be considered when comparatively scoring your stunt and pyramid difficulty:
Utilization of minimal bases:
Stunts performed demonstrate skills involving the least necessary number of athletes. (Additional athletes may be added to the traditional stunt group (4 athletes) in order to safely create and demonstrate skills.
Utilization of combined skills:
Stunt elements demonstrate two or more skills performed as one. (Examples: a spinning tic toc, a spinning inversion, a multi trick toss, etc.) performed demonstrate skills involving the least necessary number of athletes.
Utilization of connected skills:
Skills performed demonstrate immediate transition from the completion of one skill to the initiation of the next skill.
Movement and Usage of Floor:
How the stunts performed change position, evolve, transition, and maneuver in reference to each other and the floor.
Variety of Skills:
Utilization of different elements to create diversity.
Quantity of Skills:
Display of a cumulative number of skills throughout the routine, performed by one or more groups.
Pace and Flow:
Skills performed demonstrate appropriate and intended speed, as well as continuity of moving from one element to the next.
Value of Skills:
Increased complexity of level specific skills demonstrated.

BUILDING EXECUTION
STUNT and PYRAMID - EXECUTION
Both have the SAME isolated factors
These 6 isolated factors will be considered when comparatively scoring your stunt and pyramid execution:
Precision:
Athletes demonstrate controlled movement, height, and positioning.
Awareness:
Athletes demonstrate knowledge and comprehension of spacing and skill technique.
Synchronization:
Athletes demonstrate stunts in a simultaneous or rippled movement to enhance the visual effect.
Stability:
Athletes demonstrate strength and the ability to maintain body lines without unnecessary movement.
Flexibility:
Body positions are displayed with range of motion and control.
Uniformity:
Each stunt group demonstrates skills in a similar manner and appearance.

COMPOSITION
BUILDING COMPOSITION
For the traditional competitive cheer divisions.
Building Composition score will come from the Building Judge(s).
Stunts and Pyramids are combined to
evaluate the building composition score.
The Difficulty and Execution of the Building skills performed will
NOT be considered in the building composition score.
These 3 isolated factors will be considered when scoring your building composition value:
Intricacy:
The building continually demonstrates thought, purpose, and complexity from skill to skill.
Presentation:
How the building skills are displayed throughout the routine, showcasing use of floor and multiple formations.
Athleticism:
Athletes demonstrate confidence in the performance of all moving parts of the building skills.
