ICE Extravaganza Cheer & Dance Events (including Extra Cool & ICE Championships) are run in sessions. Please see the session information for which divisions take place in which session. Adult (12+) and Child (4-11) spectators will require a ticket for each session they wish to attend. Spectators aged 3 & under are free of charge; however a ticket will still need to be added within the ticket order. There are no ‘weekend’ or ‘event’ spectator passes available; spectator tickets are sold per session. Tickets are sold directly to coaches only.
At regular ICE Ultimate Dance Experience Events we do not run sessions this season. All tickets apply to the whole day. At the Ultimate Dance Experience Championships, it may become necessary to run sessions – we will confirm.
Please see the Event Structure (Sessions) guide for session information, when available.
The ‘Extra Cool‘ events and the ICE Championships all take place on a sprung floor.
Regular ICE Extravaganza events and all Ultimate Dance Experience events take place on a non-sprung floor.
Cheer, stunt group and cheer solo divisions take place on a full size 9-panel floor. All dance divisions take place on a black vinyl dance floor, 12m wide and 12.5m front to back.
Our 2-day events do not have onsite accommodation. However, we always book venues which have hotels nearby. Please note we do not recommend booking non-refundable travel or accommodation, especially before your entry has been confirmed.
Rules & Scoring
Rules for ICE Extravaganza events are available here and rules for Ultimate Dance Experience events are available here. For guidance, coaches entering an ICE event can email scoring@incrediblycoolevents.co.uk where a member of our team will be happy to help you. More information is available here. Please get in touch at least 10 working days before the event you’re competing at (or at least 10 working days before the date you require a response) as we receive a lot of queries at peak times.
For all Cheer & Dance events (including Extravaganza, Extra Cool, & ICE Championships) crossovers are permitted as per the restrictions in the SportCheer UK Age Grid. Please see the Divisions, Crossovers & Time Limits Page for full information. Crossovers do not apply to Stunt Groups and Solo’s.
At Ultimate Dance Experience events, a novice team must consist of at least 50% participants who are not crossing over into a standard team of the same dance style.
At ALL events, an athlete can compete in no more than 6 routines in total (inclusive of cheer, dance, stunt group and solos/duos where available). An athlete may not compete against themselves (i.e., they cannot compete more than one routine in the same division).
This is dependent on the division you enter. For all Cheer & Dance events (including Extravaganza, Extra Cool & ICE Championships), team sizes are as per the SportCheer UK Age Grid. For Level 0, team sizes are as per the Level 0 Age Grid (note the minimum team size for Level 0 Cheer is 6).
For Ultimate Dance Experience events, team size is 4+ dancers. More information is available here.
For all Cheer & Dance events (including Extravaganza, Extra Cool & ICE Championships), routine time limits for the 2021-2022 season are available here. Level 0 Cheer should not exceed 2:00. All other time limits are as per the SportCheer UK Age Grid.
For Ultimate Dance Experience Events, teams are up to 2:15 and solos/duos are up to 1:15.
At ICE we will not deduct for being under minimum time. For guidance regarding time limits at ICE, coaches can contact scoring@incrediblycoolevents.co.uk.
For ICE Extravaganza events, please see the IASF rules regarding props. For Cheer divisions, see IASF General Safety Rule number 9. For Dance divisions, see IASF Props Rule 1. For Level 0, please see the Level 0 rules specifically (Level 0 props must be pre-approved by emailing scoring@incrediblycoolevents.co.uk at least 4 weeks before the event you wish to compete).
For Ultimate Dance Experience events, free standing props are not allowed. Use of parts of a costume (costume elements such as a necklace, jacket, hat, poms, etc.,) are allowed and may be used and discarded. Props resembling weapons are not allowed, i.e., guns, knives, booms, etc.
If using items which may require clearing up the floor after your performance, we require advance notice. Please notify us via email to info@incrediblycoolevents.co.uk
Running Orders
Initial running orders are normally uploaded to the Regchamp system shortly after the registration closes date. (We normally announce this via our social media pages also). This can be found under the “Documents, Reports & Results” tab within the event on your account. Information on how to request a running order change can be found under the same tab. Change requests should be made as soon as possible after the first version of the running order is released. ICE will endeavour to accommodate reasonable requirements where possible.
Every effort is made to create a running order based on order of registration and team crossovers. Sometimes this is not possible due to various logistical reasons but we do make significant effort. Performance order remains at the sole discretion of ICE.
We work hard to avoid scheduling this where possible. However, for coaches with a large number of routines and/or crossovers, it may not be possible, and we’d recommend planning to attend with multiple coaches so you can manage more than one warm up cycle at the same time. To help avoid scheduling conflicts, we may organise for you to take two routines through warm up at the same time.
If you have any coaches who are also athletes, please notify entry@incrediblycoolevents.co.uk at least 4 weeks before the event, so that ICE can attempt to avoid scheduling conflicts for them. We are far more likely to be able to assist if we are notified before the initial running order is issued.
Yes, wristbands are sent out prior to the event at a cost of £9. This option should be selected in the shopping cart on your Regchamp account, when ordering spectator tickets.
Please note you are responsible for wristbands and any lost or misplaced wristband will need to be repurchased.
Programmes receive 1 free coach wristband for up to every 15 competitors entered. If you require additional passes they can be purchased for £15 (while stocks last) which will give coaches access to the whole event as well as access to Coaches Corner. Additional coach tickets can be ordered via the Event Roster tab within the event on your Regchamp account.
A child spectator ticket is for children between the ages of 4-11. Spectators aged 3 & under are free of charge. Spectators aged 12+ require an adult spectator ticket.
Athletes are able to access the whole event . Athletes should keep their wristband on for the whole event. If your wristband breaks during an event, you may take it to be replaced at registration.
Spectator tickets are sold via coaches/teachers only. We recommend coaches order all spectator tickets at the time of registration, to avoid disappointment. Tickets can be purchased via the Shopping Cart tab, within the event on your Regchamp account.
Coaches can also add additional spectator tickets to their order later, subject to availability and at the appropriate price point. Advance orders close around 2 weeks before each event (or sooner, if the session/event sells out). On the day of the event, coaches will be able to purchase any remaining spectator tickets on the door while stocks last, at the “on the door” price. Pricing for tickets, including spectator tickets purchased by coaches on the door, is available here.
Any lost wristbands will need to be repurchased, however, if your wristband comes off you may take it to be replaced at registration.
