   1. The cheer team must attend a UCA Regional Competition and compete and receive a bid in the Game Day division.
   2. Teams that accept the invitation to compete in the Game Day Live division will ONLY be allowed to compete in the LIVE version of Game Day. They will not be allowed to compete in another Game Day division.

   1. If a pep band and cheer team choose to attend a competition; the pep band must register for the event and complete a release waiver for each participant.
   2. The pep band must be current members of the official pep band for the school they are representing.

The Game Day Live performance consists of three elements—Band Chant, Crowd Leading section (Situational Sideline and Cheer), and Fight Song—combined in a 3-minute performance by the pep band and cheerleaders, just like the current game day format. The entire performance may not exceed 5 minutes with entry and exit of all performers. For all Format Guidelines, click here.
