TERMS:

Additional resources may be found here at the ASWC Official Website – https://openchampionshipseries.com/allstar-world-championship/. As a reminder, ASWC has a 7 days bid acceptance process for paid bids.

Acceptance Deadline: Teams must accept or decline Paid Bids within 7 (seven) calendar days of the official OCS Bid Reveals on Tuesday evenings. 

Declined Bids: Declinations must be submitted in writing (email or official form) to the Open Championship Series (not Maximum)  within the 7 (seven) day window. OCS staff will help with identification and communication of unregistered Paid Bids post deadline.

In addition, any teams accepting paid OR at large bids to ASWC or PRGN will need to purchase a Zorts ID ($12.80/year) and complete their eligibility registration through Zorts. Gyms with athletes or coaches who have not purchased a Zorts ID or completed their eligibility registration will not be eligible to receive a bid and compete at ASWC or PRGN. 

If you intend to accept bids to the Allstar World Championship or Prep and Rec Grand Nationals, let us know prior to the event so that we can connect you with a Zorts representative. 

You can expect a call from Zorts staff to go over the next steps, answer any Zorts-specific questions, and provide your gym’s personalized links to get started.

Please note: Crossover athletes participating in multiple routines only need to complete their roster entries once.

If you have any questions or have not received your personalized link, please reach out to [email protected] and let them know you are attending a Maximum Cheer event.

Thank you for helping your teams complete these next steps—this ensures a smooth, safe, and secure experience for everyone at Maximum Cheer Events!
