Resources for Judges

Judges are required to be familiar with, and have access to, a variety of documents both for training purposes and judging at competitions.

Documents #1-7 under Panel Judges and #1-3 under Safety/Score Check Judges are available for download from the Cheer Canada website or the IASF website. Documents #8-12 under Panel Judges and #4 under Safety/Score Judges are available only through the ACA to our judging team.
