What To Know About The Greater Columbus Convention Center

Cheer Power Grand Nationals heads back to the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, in 2024.

The venue is one of the biggest and busiest in the nation, and it already has welcomed a pair of cheer events this year – the Athletic Championships Nationals and Dance Grand Nationals (January) and the COA Grand Nationals (February).

The GCCC underwent a $140 million expansion and renovation in 2017 and now features 1.8 million square feet of space, including more than 370,000 square feet of uninterrupted exhibit space.

The facility features multiple multi-purpose ballrooms, dozens of meeting rooms, atriums, offices and top-of-the-line lighting and technology.

The convention center is minutes from the airport and connects to five hotels by enclosed sky bridge.

The League by Varsity All Star

The League by Varsity All Star 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!
