Your shape will look different — every score is unique

Six categories. Every routine scored across all of them. The radar shows you exactly how your take broke down.

Where will you rank?

Score routines. Be right. Share your card. Every action earns XP. XP builds your rank. Your rank puts you on the leaderboard. Ten ranks from Newcomer to Legend. Where will you land?

A Legend-ranked fan (5× multiplier) has 5× the influence on the Crowd Score as a Newcomer (1×). Rank is reputation.

Your rank is visible. So is everyone else’s. Climb from Newcomer to Legend and prove you know cheer.

From Petty to the Podium

You’ve been arguing about scores for years.

You’re at a competition. You just watched three Level 6 Small Senior routines and you have strong opinions about all three. You’ve seen these teams compete for two seasons. You know the gym. You know the difficulty level. You saw where the wobble was on that extension, where the tumbling pass broke timing, where one routine just did something no one else in the building did.

The judges post a score you completely disagree with.

So you argue about it. In the parking lot. In the Instagram comments. In the group chat at 11pm. For about 45 minutes. And then it disappears — because there was never anywhere to put it that mattered. No record. No context. No credential.

“Petty” has a bad reputation in the cheer community. You care too much. You have opinions. You’re in the stands arguing about scores on a Sunday night. That’s not petty — that’s the sport.

The Cheer Podium was built for that argument. Not to end it — to give it a record. Your score is real. Your radar is real. Your rank reflects how consistently and accurately you’ve been making calls across dozens of routines. Over time, that record compounds into something that means something.

From petty to the podium. Your take, on the record.

The community doesn’t stop at the app.

The Cheer Podium has a Reddit community for takes, debates, and everything the app doesn’t hold. Scores from the weekend’s competitions, hot takes on bid reveals, breakdowns of routines that surprised you. Join before the app opens.
