Clear Answers, No Invented Details

Universe is a new championship ecosystem for cheer and dance, built around qualified Event Producer ownership, governance, aligned economics, official qualifier events, transparent systems, and an exceptional championship experience.

Universe hosts three 2027 championships. Universe Allstar Championships is May 13–16, 2027 at the Virginia Beach Sports Center. Universe Allstar Prep and Universe Allstar Rec are April 15–18, 2027 at the Sevierville Convention Center.

Universe is being built as an independent championship ecosystem.

Universe is built around a permanent Event Producer-controlled operating-company structure. Qualified participating EPs collectively, as a class, hold 100% of the ownership of the championship operating company and 60% of the voting authority. No individual Event Producer or small group owns or controls the championship.

Qualified Event Producers may operate approved Universe Allstar Qualifiers and participate in the EP-owned championship ecosystem. You can apply here.

No. The 100% ownership and 60% voting structure applies to the qualified EP class collectively. No individual Event Producer or small group owns or controls the championship. Individual allocations and securities terms are not provided through this website.

Approved participating EPs collectively hold the controlling EP class and participate through defined governance procedures. Individual allocations, voting mechanics and securities terms are governed by definitive private agreements.

The Universe team first evaluates commercial and operational fit. Approved organizations may be invited to discuss qualifier operations, technology, standards and ecosystem participation. The public application is not an application for securities.

It is the annual Event Producer conference, where qualified Event Producers make governing decisions for the next season, including budget approvals and venue and location bid approvals, and attend educational sessions designed to help grow their business. The 2027 Summit will be held in September. Exact date and location will be announced.

No. Additional structural, economic, market, and operating details are available only after qualification and execution of a confidentiality agreement.

More than 70 events are participating in the Universe launch network. Individual Event Producer names are published only when approved for public identification.

Founders Producer is the official recognition for first-year Event Producers who join Universe, including the 2026–2027 badge. It is a commercial program designation, provides additional benefits within the Universe ecosystem for qualifying EPs, and does not itself confer founder, shareholder or investment status.

Authorized Bid Producer is the official recognition for Event Producers approved to award Universe bids. Event producers will be provided a license to use the official Bid Producer seal in their marketing materials should they provide bids to the Universe Allstar Championships.

Teams will qualify through official Universe Allstar Qualifying events and any additional approved events that are providing bids to Universe championships. The qualifier directory will list approved events when they are published.

Universe is designed around a unified scoring system that allows teams to bring routines from multiple industry governing score sheets. Official scoring references will be published on the Teams & Gyms page soon.
