GAME TIME GENERAL RULES NCA GAME TIME DIVISIONS NCA reserves the right to be the arbitrator and interpreter of all rules covered in this document. A. All cheerleading skills including tumbling, partner stunts, pyramids and jumps for the Game Time Divisions must follow the AACCA Safety Guidelines. All skills should be carefully reviewed and supervised by a qualified adult coach. See specific skill restrictions for each category. B. Cheer teams are encouraged to include other sideline spirit groups (i.e. dance team, song/pom, mascot, pep/short flag, etc.), but sideline spirit groups will not be judged separately.

MASCOTS are limited to the same props as cheerleaders (poms, signs, flags, megaphones and/or banners) and are NOT allowed to stunt in any Game Time Division. D. Routines must be appropriate for family viewing. Any vulgar and/or suggestive movements, words, or music will result in a score deduction. E. The team and each participating member/coach should constantly display good sportsmanship throughout the entire performance in regards to respect for themselves, other teams and the viewing audience of all ages. Teams should refrain from any taunting, bragging, or suggestive expressions or gestures as well as discrimination of any nature. F. We recommend that the team and each of its members display an overall appearance conducive to serving as public representatives and ambassadors of their school in regards to grooming, traditional and appropriate attire, conservative make-up, uniformity, etc. COMPETITION AREA A.
