The All-Important Bids: Gateways to the Allstar World Championship
For All Star Cheer teams, the primary goal of any major competition is to secure a "Bid"—an invitation—to the end-of-season championships. The Revolution Championships Gold Rush events are highly sought after because they offer multiple Bid types to the 2024 Allstar World Championship (ASWC) and the World Allstar Federation Championship.
Securing a Bid is a monumental achievement for any program, representing not just a win, but an invitation to compete on the global stage. These Bids are categorized by the level of financial support provided:
The Gold Rush Super Nationals in Frisco, TX, was the most competitive stop, offering a significant number of invitations. Specifically, the event provided:
- Full Paid Bids: These cover the full cost of team registration for the World Championship event. The Super Nationals offered 1 Full Paid Bid to the World Allstar Federation 2024 Championship.
- At-Large Bids: These secure a team’s spot at the championship, though the team is responsible for the registration fee. The Frisco event offered 6 At-Large Bids.
- Up-Graded At-Large Bids: Some Gold Rush events offer the chance to upgrade an existing At-Large Bid to a Paid Bid, adding another layer of high-stakes competition.
Teams from various divisions, including the highly competitive Elite Division and International Division, vie fiercely for these spots, making every routine a must-watch performance. The success of teams like the Advanced Cheer Crew Senior Platinum team, which secured a 1st Place win at the Frisco Super Nationals, highlights the level of talent on display.
The Golden Buzzer: Revolution Championships' Unique Award
Perhaps the most talked-about feature unique to the Revolution Championships Gold Rush series is the Golden Buzzer. Borrowed from a popular talent show format, this award adds a dramatic, fan-favorite element to the competition, instantly propelling a deserving team toward a major prize.
How the Golden Buzzer Works
The Golden Buzzer is a special, discretionary award that goes beyond standard scoring. It is designed to recognize an exceptional, unforgettable performance that captures the heart of the judges and the audience. Here are the key facts about this revolutionary award:
- Eligibility: Only teams in the Elite and International divisions are eligible to receive the Golden Buzzer. This means younger divisions such as Tiny Elite, Novice, Dance, Competitive Rec, and Prep are excluded from this specific prize.
- Fan Favorite Vote: The award is closely tied to a fan-favorite voting system, allowing the audience and supporters to have a direct impact on the competition's outcome.
- The Prize: Receiving the Golden Buzzer can result in an instant, coveted prize, most notably a Paid Bid to the Allstar World Championship, bypassing the standard scoring and Bid allocation process. It’s a moment of pure, unbridled excitement for the winning program.
This feature, along with the associated Jackpot events, is part of Revolution Championships' commitment to providing an "incredible production" and "revolutionary eye for industry change," setting the Gold Rush series apart from other national competitions.
