ACA Grand Nationals 2024 is coming up this weekend, and 17 League 6-eligible teams are set to take the stage in Fort Worth, Texas. ACA Grand Nationals is a 600-point event, and teams will battle it out in their division for the National Champion title and bids to The Cheerleading Worlds 2024. 

The League 6 is new for the 2023-2024 season, with two new conferences. Senior Worlds USASF division teams will compete in the All-Girl and Coed conferences all season. Varsity All Star will use the top six scores at the end of the season to award first, second, and third place in each conference. Winning teams will win cash, banners, and pendants for first place.

For a 600-point event, first place teams take home 600 points, second 574, third 548, fourth 522, fifth 496, and so on. The League rankings are updated on Varsity TV every Tuesday, where you can track current rank, total points, and rank changes from week to week.

The League by Varsity All Star

The League by Varsity All Star presented by Corksicle is the official ranking system for the sport of All Star cheerleading, changing the conversation from “Who won the weekend?” to “Who ranks at the top this season?” 

Every team that competes at a Varsity All Star Event this season will be included in The League by Varsity All Star. 

Team rankings are determined by the Points System displayed here. At each Varsity All Star event your team competes, your team will earn points based on the assigned event and placement point value. 

At the end of the season, your five best Varsity All Star event scores will be used to calculate your final rank. 

In total, 120 winners will be recognized from first to third place across each region. One champion will be crowned in each of the five regions across the eight eligible divisions, meaning 40 champions will be awarded in total. Champions will win cash and prizes!
