2 The United States All Star Federation (USASF) and International All Star Federation (IASF) only hosts two competitions a year ? The Cheerleading Worlds and The Dance Worlds. The event producers of premier National Championships sponsor their best teams to compete at these competitions. Cheer and dance teams from all over the world may qualify to compete in the applicable Senior or International Divisions. In 2009, each partially-paid bid to The Worlds cost the sponsoring event producer $3,500 for each team they send. Given this, and the fact that many event producers are giving multiple bids, it is easy to see that these event producers are allocating substantial resources to support the teams that participate in their respective Nationals. These event producers feel so strongly about the caliber of the teams in these divisions at their nationals that they want them to represent their respective company at The Worlds.
