NCA All-Star National Championship
Three teams met to compete for the Level 7 International Open division title at the 2022 NCA All-Star National Championship. The teams had everyone on the edge of their seat this year in Dallas, Texas, due to an unexpected snowstorm that hit the central Texas area in the days leading up to the event. Varsity All Star made the decision to modify their scoring system for the weekend to allow teams with flight delays to still have a fair chance at the competition. For the teams who made it to Dallas on time for the event, the best score of their two performances would stand as their final score of the weekend.
After all three teams faced deductions in their Day 1 performances, Black Out from Vancouver All Stars was ranked first in the division followed by Cheer Extreme DMV Super7 in second, and the 2021 bronze medalists, JPAC Radiance Ultraviolet, in third.
Cheer Extreme DMV Super7 took the mat on Day 2 and they shut it down with improvement in their scores leading them to claim the first place spot!
Super7 finished the weekend with a final score of 89.55 that helped them rise to the top of the division and take the NCA All-Star National Championship title. Vancouver All Stars Black Out took second with an 89.0167 and JPAC Radiance Ultraviolet finished the weekend in third with a score of 84.55
