What To Know About The Sevierville Convention Center

The Sevierville Convention Center is a traditional convention facility, highlighted by an exhibit hall that offers more than 108,000 square feet of space and can be split into two separate spaces if needed.

Ballrooms, meeting rooms, a rotunda, on-site catering, a food court, and ample parking make the venue versatile and convenient for events and guests – there are even two golf courses right there, too, though that could be hit or miss in early December. 

Oh, and then there's the can’t-miss views of the Smoky Mountains.

The Varsity Cheer League

The Varsity Cheer League 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 all star elite team in Youth, Junior, and Senior divisions will be included in the Varsity Cheer League.

Team rankings are determined by the point system displayed here. 

At each Varsity All Star event your team completes, your team will earn points based on the assigned event and placement point value. 

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

In total, 92 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 six eligible divisions and two League 6 conferences. Champions will win cash and prizes!
